Survives Cancellation
Forever
Only content downloaded and used in published projects during an active subscription retains its license after cancellation.
HookSounds:

Free tier requires visible attribution. Removing credit without a paid subscription violates the license.

HookSounds tracks are exclusive to the platform - you won't find them on other stock music sites.

Artlist:

Content licensed before November 2020 falls under different terms - those older licenses covered all use cases under a single plan. Current plans are more restrictive.

License does not survive cancellation for most plans - you must maintain an active subscription to keep using downloaded content.
