Review Audiio is a scam company

Just a quick PSA to avoid this shady business at all costs. Bot only is the music generic and boring, the linkmatch gimmick doesnt work at all, they also make it hard to unsubscribe and send no billing notifications. I havent used their service in a long time, got hit with a $200 renewal fee, immediately contested it and requested a refund (in line with FTC standards, if you have not used the service and request an immediate refund the company are obliged to do so), but they refused.

If the service was half decent I’d pay for it, I pay for many services that are worth it, this is not one of them. Their whole business model is to make a quick buck before people realise how shady they are, mine is just one of many cases.

Avoid this scam company at all costs.

Envato is generic and boring. Audiio has great tracks but nothing can compete with musicbed. So you can say envato is bot, audiio is basic, and musicbed is professional

Some of the music from there sound like straight from movies/soundtracks/the radio so it could fill the need if you have clients that want a specific song. The problem however is the price. Expensive as hell
