Approved artist members get exclusive access to a private resource library that keeps growing.

In-depth video training on music licensing, sync pitching, catalog building, and the business of music.

85% TO YOU.
ALWAYS.
Regardless of your plan, HookVault artists keep 85% of every license sold — and 90% on exclusive deals. The monthly subscription covers platform costs. The split covers transaction fees. Clean, simple, and fair.
Compare that to most sync libraries that take 50/50 or worse, or streaming platforms paying fractions of a cent per play. At HookVault, one license sale can be worth more than thousands of streams.
