With a subscription, you can also safelist your channels for complete convenience and peace of mind, without having to use Uppbeat Credits.

Question 6

How do artists get paid?

Accepted Answer

At Uppbeat, we&#39;re proud to champion creativity and stand behind the creators who make it all possible.
That&#39;s why we operate on a revenue sharing model where the majority of the money from your subscription and other sources goes directly to our contributors.
Every time you download an asset from Uppbeat, the contributor earns a payment. This happens whether you&#39;re paying for Uppbeat or not; we make sure that every use of their work gets compensated.
We also believe that artists should retain full ownership of their work. Unlike many other platforms that buy out content rights for a one-time fee, Uppbeat allows contributors to earn ongoing revenue from their work while keeping their rights.
By using Uppbeat, you&#39;re not just getting high-quality, human-made creative assets: You&#39;re directly supporting independent musicians, sound designers, videographers and motion graphic designers.
