Envato Elements is a subscription website.
It is an online library that has over a million digital assets including video, background music for videos, images, and graphic design templates.
For a monthly fee of $16,50, members gain access to the whole library and can download an unlimited number of assets.
Everything on Envato Elements is covered by the same license terms.
It includes broad commercial rights. Each song or piece of content comes with a single-use license. If you would like to use an item multiple times, you will have to go to your downloads and register it for different use.
You still cannot re-sell or redistribute anything or use the items for merchandising. After your subscription expires or is canceled, you will still be able to use the materials you already downloaded, but only in the original projects, you registered them for.
Envato AudioJungle
AudioJungle is a royalty-free music website that is part of Envato Market. The website offers both background music for videos and sound effects.
Authors put a price on their music, so prices range from $1 to more than $10,000. AudioJungle offers several different licenses depending on how you would like to use the music.
AudioJungle songs can only be used in one project.
There are several different kinds of licenses. Standard, music, and sound effects.
The standard license is divided into a regular license and an extended license.
A regular license is sufficient if the project you are creating is free for the end-user. If the end-user will have to pay to use your project, then you need an extended license.
The sound effects license is also divided into two different licenses: single-use (sound effects in one project) and multiple-use (sound effects in unlimited projects). The music licenses are primarily differentiated by audience size.
