Choose Based On Your Goal

Demo

Use free beats privately

If you are only practicing, writing or testing melodies, a free beat can be enough.

Release

Lease before uploading

If the song goes to Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music, get a license first.

Single

Go exclusive for control

If the beat is central to your release, exclusive rights keep new artists from buying it.

Common Questions About Leasing Beats

Can I upgrade my beat license later?

Yes. If you start with a lower-tier license and later need more rights, you only pay the difference between your current license and the new one.

What happens if someone buys exclusive rights?

If you already leased the beat, you can keep using it under your original agreement. When that agreement expires, it cannot be renewed.

Where can I safely buy beats online?

BeatsbySV uses Airbit for secure transactions and instant downloads. Always buy from a trusted checkout so your license and files are documented.

Is leasing beats a good investment?

Yes. A license protects your work, improves file quality and allows you to release and monetize music according to the agreement.

Do not upload the song without clear rights.

Pick the beat, choose the right license and keep your release safe from unnecessary copyright problems.
