The best BeatStars alternative.
Marketplaces like BeatStars, Airbit and SoundClick sell beats one at a time — and the stems and unlimited license are almost always an upsell. If you make music at any real volume, that adds up fast. APOLLO flips it: every beat, every stem, an unlimited license, for one flat $25/month.

Common questions
What is the best BeatStars alternative?
If you want volume without paying per beat, APOLLO is built for it: 427+ beats with WAV, stems and an unlimited license for a flat $25/month, versus paying $30–$300 per beat on a marketplace.
Is APOLLO cheaper than BeatStars?
For anyone using more than one beat, yes. A single unlimited license on a marketplace often runs $199+. The APOLLO subscription is $25/month for the whole catalog, and one-time beat packs start at $39.97.
Do I still own my music?
Yes. Everything you release under the unlimited license stays licensed forever — cancelling the subscription never affects music you already put out.
