I honestly didn’t even expect a refund, but receiving it truly meant a lot to me. During one of the most difficult times in my life, your quick support made a real difference.

I’m really grateful to Epidemic Sound for understanding my situation and helping me when I needed it the most.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support

Be careful, shady business.

They tell you you can download music free of charge, specifying no credit card required. Once you go to download anything they ask for your credit card anyway and say start your 30 day free trial, to which as soon as you put in your details they charge you immediately anyway. Make sure to stay away when companies are this shady and dishonest.

Excellent service and very helpful support

I have had a very positive experience with Epidemic Sound overall. The service itself is excellent and very easy to use, with a great catalog that works really well for my projects.
I also had a very good experience with their customer service. The support team responded quickly, was understanding, and helped me find a fair solution for my account situation.
The communication was friendly, professional, and respectful throughout the whole process. I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained and how uncomplicated the support was.

Unable to Cancel my Subscription

I joined Epidemic sound in 2025 then successfully cancelled not long after because I hadn't set up my You Tube channel.
Early this year I joined again but at the age of 73, I found the site too complicated and after a couple of months tried to cancel my subscription.
Here's the problem - when I try to cancel my subscription it keeps taking me into my first sign up telling me I have already cancelled. There are no details showing for my second subscription yet ES are taking money from my bank account every month.
I contacted Customer Services through their website so have no copy of my message. They did not reply. How long are they going to take money from my bank when I have nothing to do with ES?
This is very frustrating. It should be easy to close an account.

Exceptional Library and Truly Outstanding Support , Epidemic Sound Delivers

Epic Sound offers a very generous 30-day free trial. I used it once and immediately appreciated how easy the site is to navigate, with an outstanding library of high-quality sound sources perfect for professional narration.
As a small Substack creator who only needed one track to enhance my articles, I reached out to their team with a question. They responded promptly, handled everything with genuine responsiveness and impressive grace. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and refreshingly human.
For creators looking for reliable, atmospheric audio, Epidemic Sound stands out not just for their content but for customer support that truly delivers. Highly recommend.

Proper customer service

Fantastic product well designed with loads of solid music and sounds. I had a last minute change of mind and needed to cancel and they were super cool about it and immediately refunded. When I need this sort of thing in the future, epidemic has my business for sure.

I would like to share my sincere…

I would like to share my sincere gratitude to the Epidemic Sound team.

As a creator from Ukraine, I have been using Epidemic Sound for my photo and video projects for quite some time. The platform has become an essential part of my workflow thanks to its outstanding music library, simple licensing system, and high-quality content.

What truly sets Epidemic Sound apart, however, is the people behind the service. During a difficult period, I reached out to customer support and was met with genuine kindness, understanding, and a willingness to help.

I would especially like to thank Daimler from the Customer Service team. Throughout our communication, he was patient, attentive, and incredibly supportive. Every response was clear, professional, and friendly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

In today's world, great customer support is rare, and experiences like this leave a lasting impression. Epidemic Sound is not only an excellent platform for creators but also a company that truly cares about its community.

Thank you, Daimler, and thank you, Epidemic Sound, for your support, your time, and for helping creators continue doing what they love.

Highly recommended.

I paid a subscription to this company…

I paid a subscription to this company so that I could use their music on my YouTube channel. I did so yet they put in a copyright claim and my video was demonetised. Now try and get in touch with them to discuss - not a chance - yet another company willing to take your money without supplying what they offer - and yet another company that is virtually impossible to speak with a human - verdict: total pants

Hi Paul,
Thank you for sharing this. We found your case and we can see that you haven't activated your license. Meaning, added your channel(s) for safelisting. This is the reason a claim has been placed on your channel/video. If your channel is not registered, the content ID cannot see that you have a license with us. Follow the link below for instructions on how to safelist your channel. And for the claim that's currently on your video, please answer the email sent to you from us, with the details we asked for, and we will remove the claim for you asap.
All the best,
