What Soundmouse does

Soundmouse Limited is a UK-based private company (registered in England and Wales, company number 03962610, headquartered at 88 Kingsway, London) that operates a cloud-based platform for music reporting and cue sheet management. The platform enables broadcasters, production companies, record labels, music publishers, and collecting societies to create music cue sheets for audio and audiovisual Productions (films, TV programmes, TV channels, radio stations, videos, advertisements, sound recordings, idents, websites, and apps), manage contributor data, and analyse usage to support licensing and royalty workflows. A second platform, Silvermouse, operates alongside Soundmouse within the same services ecosystem, and the company also participates in the Creative Diversity Network (CDN) Diamond project for UK production-industry diversity data collection.

The platform is delivered as a registered-account service at app.soundmouse.com, supporting both password and Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication, with an underlying production database that aggregates contributor and creative content data across industry participants. Soundmouse is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (Z930458X), and operates as part of the Orfium group of companies, functioning as a wholly-owned subsidiary within that music-technology group.

Soundmouse monetises via B2B subscription access to the Soundmouse and Silvermouse platforms, sold through direct, account-based relationships to enterprise customers in broadcasting, production, recorded music, publishing, and collective rights management; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration, headcount, revenue, and funding details are not disclosed in the available data.

Regional players

• Audiosocket: Audiosocket is a music licensing platform focused on providing rights-cleared music for film, TV, advertising, and digital productions. It is comparable to Soundmouse in serving production music needs, though primarily on the licensing and discovery side rather than cue sheet reporting.

Emerging players

• Vampr: Vampr is a music collaboration and networking platform connecting artists, producers, and rights holders. It represents an emerging adjacent player in the music creator economy with thematic overlap to Soundmouse's contributor and rights data layer.

Direct peers

• BMAT: BMAT provides music identification, fingerprinting, and reporting services to broadcasters, collecting societies, and rights holders. It is a direct competitor to Soundmouse in automated music usage reporting and cue sheet workflows.

Broad incumbents
