WavMaker vs. Other Royalty-Free Music Services

Clear pricing and licenses that support growing ministries

Many royalty-free music services are designed for creators, brands, and ad agencies. WavMaker is built for churches and faith-based organizations, with transparent pricing and growth-friendly licenses that cover real ministry use cases.

WavMaker provides all of the coverage churches need without pushing them into a costly enterprise plan.

Why churches need a tailored music solution

Many popular royalty-free music services—including Epidemic Sound, Artlist, and Soundstripe—are primarily designed for creators, brands, and ad agencies. That emphasis is reflected in their pricing models, license language, and product features.

WavMaker takes a different approach to better serve churches and faith-based organizations:

  • Church use is covered on every plan, with monthly payment options available.
  • Licenses are structured to support audience growth rather than restrict it.
  • Music is curated for church use by creatives with real ministry experience.

The result is a royalty-free music solution that aligns with how churches actually use music—in person and online, across many platforms, week after week.

A closer look at what sets WavMaker apart

Pricing that doesn’t penalize churches

With many royalty-free music services, signing up on behalf of a church or organization immediately qualifies you for enterprise pricing. With WavMaker, churches are standard customers, with no sales calls or confusing contracts to navigate.

Licenses that support growth, not restrict it

Most music licenses are written to cover only a handful of use cases. That approach creates friction for growing churches that publish content across multiple platforms. WavMaker licenses are intentionally broad, with coverage for most church use cases included by default.

Built by creatives who understand ministry

WavMaker was founded by creatives and ministry leaders, including Mark Stuart, the Dove Award–winning former singer of Audio Adrenaline. Our firsthand ministry experience is reflected in our tailored catalog, broad licenses, and church-first product features.
