MatchTune vs Soundproof
MatchTune audits every track across your brand's social history, resolves each one to the correct rightsholder on Audioatlas, and hands you an independent record of your exposure. Soundproof, launched by Epidemic Sound in 2026, scans brand and influencer content for licensing risk too, but its purpose is to move flagged content onto Epidemic Sound's own catalogue by re-soundtracking it.
Where MatchTune goes further
- An audit, not a sales funnel. MatchTune's only product is the audit, so the result is an independent picture of your risk rather than a step toward buying a catalogue.
- Trusted where the stakes are highest. Global leaders across cosmetics, healthcare, sport, fashion, hospitality, media, consumer goods, and software rely on MatchTune, and the world's largest law firms and creative agencies run audits through it on behalf of their own clients.
- The database others cannot match. Audioatlas is the largest and cleanest music-rights database in the world, built and owned by MatchTune and licensed by the music industry itself. A match is only useful if it names the right owner; a poor database buries real risk in thousands of wrong or unattributed results.
- Only what is actually exposed. MatchTune checks each track against the libraries you already license and flags only what falls outside them.
- Built for the scale of a group. Risk rolls up by brand, country, region, and division, with every dashboard user included.
- Your audit, and only yours. MatchTune does not enforce, take down, or share your results, and it does not require you to change your music.
- A decade in audio recognition. Detection holds up under voice-over, in the background, in modified masters, in covers, and in short excerpts.
