Hidden Costs Breakdown

No Ownership Rights on Generated Music

critical compliance

Even with paid subscriptions, users do not own the copyright to the music they generate. You license the music from Mubert rather than owning it outright, which limits commercial use and future rights.

The problem comes when I read the fine print the second month after I've been working hard and realize that you don't own the rights to your music.

trustpilot
they clearly state that you don't have any ownership /commercial rights for your creations (even if you buy the most expensive of their premium plans)

high compliance

Users report receiving YouTube copyright strikes on videos using Mubert tracks even after a year of use, despite proper attribution and licensing. When strikes occur, Mubert provides no support or resolution.

They have free tracks apparently no youtube copyright strikes. I've used some of those giving credit to the site/artist, and after a year all of them got strikes, I had to replace/mute ruining the videos.

trustpilot
Over the past 18 months, I have noticed a concerning trend where reaching out to them for assistance yields no response. An example of this lack of responsiveness is evident in instances where other YouTubers claim content ID ownership and even go as far as requesting the takedown of your videos; unfortunately, Mubert seems to disregard any appeals for support in such situations.

Double Billing and Unauthorized Charges

high addon

Multiple users report being charged twice for the same subscription period, and some report continued charges even after canceling their subscription.

trustpilot
I was with them for 2 months paying the most expensive membership. Both times they charged me twice for the membership.

trustpilot
today, after 1 month since I cancelled my membership and sent them an email with screenshots so they could see the cancellation, they have charged me again.

No Refund Policy

medium support

Mubert refuses refunds regardless of credit usage or service quality issues. Users report being unable to get refunds even when the service doesn't work as advertised.

trustpilot
Won't take any refunds regardless of credit usage. Poor ethics.

trustpilot
they will fight tooth and nail to ensure you will never get refunded. a scam as far as I am concerned.

Non-Responsive Customer Support

high support

Customer service is widely reported as non-existent. Users wait weeks or months for responses, and when replies come, they're often irrelevant to the actual question. No support is provided for copyright disputes or billing issues.

trustpilot
TERRIBLE customer service, DO NOT USE!!!!

trustpilot
their customer service is a complete joke. If you reach out to them with an issue, be prepared to wait several days (if not weeks) for a response. And when they finally do reply, their answers are completely irrelevant to your actual question.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $14 × 12)	$4,200/yr
No Ownership Rights on Generated Music	+Ongoing licensing dependency
Copyright Strike Risk After Extended Use	+Video takedowns, channel penalties
Double Billing and Unauthorized Charges	+$14-$199 duplicate charges per billing cycle
No Refund Policy	+Full subscription cost at risk
Non-Responsive Customer Support	+Unable to resolve issues
Estimated Year 1 Total	~$7,140

That's roughly 1.7× the advertised license price. The median Mubert contract is $468/yr across Vendr purchases.
