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

Different license tiers cover different distribution scopes - ensure your license matches your use case.

Per-track licensing means costs can add up for projects needing multiple tracks.

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.
