Today: £368.23/yr · Sonosfera annual for 1 zone: £149.90/yr
Everything here is ex VAT, on both sides. Licence figure: £238.33/yr, PPL PRS's published example for a salon or barbershop with up to five treatment chairs (checked 2026-08-02). It is one venue's example, not an average — PPL PRS publish £168.71 for a small office and £747.29 for a gym floor, and the real bill splits across two societies with different bands. The second preset adds £129.90/yr for a consumer Spotify Premium subscription, normalised to ex VAT from its advertised £12.99/month — a separate product, and one that is not licensed for business playback, so treat that preset as "what I currently spend", not as two licences. Use your own figure if you know it, and enter it ex VAT.
Proof, not promises
A real certificate for your business.
On any paid plan you get a downloadable certificate naming your business and premises, the period it covers, and exactly what's included — Sonosfera-catalogue playback. Show it to an inspector, a landlord, or anyone who asks about your music; each one carries a serial number anybody can verify online.
If a letter comes, send it our way.
You shouldn't have to decode licensing language on a Tuesday night. Here's exactly what happens if PPL or PRS get in touch.

We handle it
We respond on the record for Sonosfera catalogue playback on your active plan.

“I run a salon. For years the music was the one thing I never had time to get right: too risky to wing it, too fiddly to fix. So we built the thing I wished existed.”
Two promises went into it. Every track is original and owned outright; there's nothing borrowed in the mix. And you can always show proof of what you're playing, on your terms, the moment anyone asks.
That's the whole idea. Good music for your room, and your peace of mind. And if you ever need help, you get me. I still answer support myself.

UK music licensing
How much does a UK music licence cost for a business?
In the UK, most businesses that play mainstream commercial music need TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS, which collects for two societies at once. A pub with an audible area of 400 m² or less playing through a radio pays £359.95 a year ex VAT — £204.19 to PPL plus £155.76 to PRS for Music. Through a streaming service or CD player the PRS row changes and the total is £515.78 ex VAT. Your own figure depends on sector, floor area and how music is used. You don't need a PPL PRS licence to play Sonosfera: our catalogue is fully rights-controlled and sits outside PPL and PRS repertoire, so you can play it in your venue freely. Every track you play through Sonosfera is included. Any other music — radio, streaming or live — needs its own licence.
Questions, answered.
Not for eligible Sonosfera catalogue playback at covered premises. Our catalogue is owned outright and isn't registered with PPL PRS, so TheMusicLicence isn't needed for Sonosfera playback. PPL, PRS, and TheMusicLicence may still be relevant if your venue also plays Spotify, radio, DJs, live music, uploaded files, or third-party playlists.
Yes. Sonosfera's catalogue is owned outright and isn't registered with any collecting society, so eligible playback of the Sonosfera catalogue is properly cleared for supported commercial settings, with certificate-ready records to prove it. It does not cover Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, radio, DJs, live music, uploads, or third-party playlists — those keep their own routes.
Sonosfera is a business music product with venue playlists, certificate-ready records for eligible accounts, and a catalogue-specific playback route. Personal streaming accounts are not the same as commercial venue playback rights: in the UK, society fees (TheMusicLicence, PPL PRS) are billed on top of any streaming subscription and scale with rooms and headcount. Sonosfera's owned catalogue replaces that licensing stack for eligible catalogue playback.
Any internet-connected device works: computer, tablet, smart TV, or dedicated media player. Just connect to your existing sound system.
The track that's already playing keeps going from its buffer, and playback resumes automatically once your connection comes back. After a longer outage you may need to tap play once. Music isn't stored offline, so you'll need a working connection for continuous all-day playback.
Absolutely. Business plans support multi-location management from a single dashboard, perfect for chains and franchises.
Any time, in a couple of clicks: Settings → Billing → Cancel membership. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for — no calls, no forms. Paid-upfront multi-year plans carry a 14-day money-back window instead; after that, the agreed term runs to its end.
Yes. Sign in to your Sonosfera account in any phone browser and the dashboard doubles as a remote: play or pause each zone, skip tracks, switch the vibe, and adjust the volume, all while the music keeps playing on the device connected to your speakers.
Every track is composed by professional musicians specifically for commercial spaces. It's designed to create atmosphere, not demand attention, which is exactly what background music should do. Tap play on the sample earlier to judge for yourself.
You won't find chart hits or specific artists. That's a licensing limitation, not a choice. But you can request the types of music, moods, and genres you want, and your input directly shapes what gets added. Sonosfera is for businesses who want curated catalogue playback that runs itself.
Sonosfera uses its own catalogue route instead of giving access to every mainstream song. That keeps the product focused and affordable. Traditional licensing costs £470/year; Sonosfera starts at £149.90/year.
If your room needs chart hits, specific artists, DJ sets, or live-music cover, a blanket society licence is the right tool, and we'll tell you so. Sonosfera is for venues that want great background atmosphere from a catalogue we own outright, with proof on hand, and none of the licensing stack.
Yes. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee: a full refund within 14 days of your first payment, no questions asked. The free trial itself never charges you anything. See the refund policy for the details.
Create your account (30 seconds), pick your business type, and start listening. No credit card needed. The whole process takes about 3 minutes.
Playback pauses until you choose a plan; nothing is deleted. Your account, zones, business profile and music preferences are all kept, so if you upgrade later you pick up exactly where you left off. The trial takes no card, so you'll never be charged automatically.
