About these tools
Music licensing is deliberately hard to price and easy to get wrong. These answer the questions venues actually arrive with — what a letter means, whether what you already play is allowed, and what a licence would cost — without asking you to sign up or hand over an email.

These tools are general information, not legal advice. Licence figures are the collecting societies’ own published examples, dated on each page, and are not a quote. If you want music that does not need a PPL PRS licence at all, see what Sonosfera costs.
