Licensing FAQ
Can I use Sonilo music on TikTok and Instagram Reels?
Short answer
Yes. On any plan you can use Sonilo music and sound effects in TikTok videos and Instagram Reels posted to a personal account that is not monetized, sponsored, or promoting a business; a Free-plan download must be credited “Music by Sonilo” in the caption. Posts that earn money — sponsored posts, business or brand accounts, creator monetization programs, and paid promotion — are commercial use and need audio generated on Pro ($14.99 per month) or above.
How the track gets onto the platform
Add the exported track to your edit and upload the finished video. A track you add yourself is licensed by your Sonilo plan, not by the platform's in-app music library.
What counts as commercial on short-form platforms
- Sponsored posts, paid partnerships, and affiliate content
- Posts boosted or run as ads
- Accounts earning through a platform's creator monetization program
- Business or brand accounts promoting products or services
- Videos made for a client
All of these are covered from Pro upwards, with no attribution. A personal post later boosted as an ad needs audio that was generated on Pro or above.
Labelling AI content
TikTok and Instagram have their own rules on labelling AI-generated content. They apply whatever your Sonilo plan.
