Founded in 2015 in Toronto, AudioHero emerged from founder Craig's background in music publishing and sound design. He saw creators struggling with high licensing costs and limited libraries, so he built a platform offering an expansive collection of over 300,000 premium, royalty-free tracks and sound effects.

With simple, all-inclusive licensing cleared for any project—whether films, podcasts, or online videos—AudioHero removes legal and financial barriers. Its AI-powered search, curated playlists, and robust filtering tools make it effortless to discover the perfect sound, from ambient moods to cinematic scores.

By combining vast content, affordable access, and a user-friendly experience, AudioHero empowers startups and creatives worldwide to focus on storytelling, not licensing.

Hi Hey Sumo-lings! 👋, I'm Craig, founder of AudioHero — and I’m thrilled to be back on

AppSumo!

Coming from the world of music publishing and sound design, I spent years helping studios and

creators find the right sounds for their projects. But I kept seeing the same challenge: great

audio was often too expensive or too complicated to license, especially for independent

creators.

So in 2015, I founded AudioHero in Toronto with one simple mission:

🎶 To make premium, professional audio easy, affordable, and accessible for everyone.

We’re thrilled to be back on AppSumo with AudioHero — your all-in-one source for unlimited,

premium, royalty-free audio.

With over 300,000 tracks and sound effects, AudioHero helps you bring your projects to life —

whether you’re producing films, podcasts, YouTube videos, courses, or client work. Every

download comes with clear, unlimited licensing, so you can create freely without worrying about

restrictions or hidden costs.

Our AI-powered search, curated playlists, and intuitive filters make it easy to find the perfect

sound in seconds — from cinematic scores to ambient textures. And with new content added

weekly, your creative library just keeps growing. 🎧

At AudioHero, we’re here to help you sound your best — affordably, simply, and without limits.

Thanks for welcoming us back, Sumo-lings. We can’t wait to hear what you create! 🙌

What 3rd party tools is your product critically dependent on?

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

We want to provide a large audio library without the large cost. We want to reduce the barrier to using premium music and sound effects for your videos and projects.

What problem is your product solving and how?

What separates us from us in the space,

- We have one the largest music and sound effects libraries on-line with over 300,000 tracks.

- We cleared for YouTube and all other on-line platforms.

- We allow our customers to use our music for any project or production. They can use it from a worldwide broadcast to a personal presentation. We know our competitors price their plans based on usage, but we want to provide user-friendly licensing.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

We are looking for virality and word of mouth.

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

We are looking to invest back into the business by licensing more content but also focusing on new tools for our customers.
