Tracklib:

Tracklib is for music producers making new songs, not for background music. It licenses real recordings for sampling in new compositions.

Revenue share applies on all commercial releases using Tracklib samples. The percentage depends on the license category (A/B/C). Factor this into your release planning.

Epidemic Sound:

License is tied to subscription - content use rights stop if you cancel. Videos already published can stay up, but you cannot use tracks in new projects.

Personal plan is limited to individual creators. Using it for business or client work violates the terms of service.
