The clearing house
for music rights.
The marketplace where rights holders post their music. Licensees legally clear their next project.
Every license is e-signed and paid in one place, straight from the rights holder.
One workflow. From listing to signed clearance.
Clearhly replaces email threads, PDFs and spreadsheets with a verified marketplace. How the marketplace works

Verified catalog, granular rights.
Every rights holder passes KYB before posting. Set usage, territory, term, stems, edits and deal structure per listing.
Monetize your catalog without the inbox chaos.
Requests arrive with the terms attached.
Each request states the intended use, territory, term and an offer, so you can accept, counter or decline without an email chain.

Is Clearhly free for licensees?

Listing is free. Rights holders pay a success fee of 8% of the upfront payment only when a deal closes, with a minimum and a maximum per deal. The pricing page has the exact amounts.
How are rights holders verified?
Every rights holder on Clearhly goes through business verification and confirms, for each listing and each share, that they own or control the rights they license. Every license states exactly which rights are granted, and its clearance number lets anyone check it.

Each signed license gets a clearance number. Anyone can look it up on the Verify page.
