# Can I monetise a YouTube video using this beat?

 
Unlimited lease licence

 Permitted 

 
On the Unlimited lease tier, monetise a youtube video is permitted as these agreements are ordinarily written. Monetisation is normally granted alongside distribution on any paid tier. The friction is not permission, it is that several artists may be monetising the same instrumental at once.

 
## The trap

Unlimited removes YOUR caps. It does not remove the other artists licensing the same beat, and their claims can still land on your video.
 

 
## What to check in your agreement

 
Whether monetisation is named explicitly, and whether video views count toward the audio stream cap.

 
## The same question on every other tier

 Licence tier | Monetise a YouTube video | 
 Free (tagged) | Not permitted | 
 Basic (MP3) | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Premium (WAV) | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Trackout / Stems | Permitted up to a cap | 
 Exclusive rights | Permitted | 
 

 
## What this tier is

 
Caps removed. Everything else is unchanged: the beat is still sold to other artists and the producer still owns it. Typical price: $150–300.

 
Scope limit. This models the STANDARD form of each tier. Any individual agreement overrides it. Where a cell says 'depends', the answer is genuinely contract-specific and no general resource can resolve it.
