Song Sleuth operates at the intersection of technology and the music industry, providing innovative solutions that address the challenges associated with user-generated content (UGC). The core of their offerings lies in their proprietary platform that utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to identify hard-to-detect UGC, enabling rights holders to uncover and claim previously undiscovered royalties. This service is particularly beneficial for music rights owners, including record labels and individual artists, seeking to maximize their revenue from UGC in an increasingly digital landscape.

Song Sleuth's products are deployed across various international markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and key European countries, where the demand for royalty tracking and management solutions is growing. The revenue model for Song Sleuth is structured around subscription-based services tailored for clients in the music industry. Clients, which may include record labels, music publishers, and independent artists, engage with the platform to gain insights and analytics on UGC that may generate royalties. Through these subscriptions, clients access tools and features that enhance their ability to monitor and claim royalties from UGC.

Additionally, there may be opportunities for partnerships that extend beyond standard subscriptions, potentially including revenue-sharing agreements based on the royalties recovered through the use of the Song Sleuth platform. The pricing plans for these services accommodate a variety of client needs, focusing on delivering value based on the volume and complexity of royalty tracking required. In April 2025, Epidemic Sound AB acquired Song Sleuth Limited. The acquisition aims to strengthen Epidemic Sound AB's position in the music licensing sectors.
