A new dated entry is stamped here each time the price moves — the record builds itself.
From 2026-10-16 our record reflects a correction we published, not a vendor price move, so earlier figures are not compared with it.
Tracked since June 2026. No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.
Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of PremiumBeat, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by PremiumBeat. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Creator. The recorded monthly price was $9.99, the annual-billed rate, in a field this dataset defines as the month-to-month price. The row's own notes name both figures and say which is which, so the correct value was already inside the record: the month-to-month price is $14.99. Re-based to it, with the annual discount set to this plan's own saving of 33%. Found by a corpus-wide scan on 2026-09-09 for the same error four call-tracking vendors carried, and confirmed against this row's own notes rather than a fresh read; the source date is therefore unchanged.

This standing as a plaque
PremiumBeat currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 6 of 7 · Music Licensing. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if PremiumBeat moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
