# A Halal Alternative to Artlist: Voice-Only Audio for Editors | Aswati Studio

Comparison

# The halal Artlist alternative.

Artlist made licensing boring in the best way — one subscription, everything cleared. The only thing it can't clear is the instrument question. This is the library for that.

The **halal alternative to Artlist** is a library that keeps the universal-license model while removing instruments entirely: Aswati Studio, a catalog of 150+ voice-and-percussion tracks — anasheed, vocal beds, daff rhythms — royalty-free for monetized and client work from $9/month. Same drop-into-timeline workflow, no track passes through that isn't halal by the instrument-free standard.

## The Artlist model, kept

What editors love about Artlist is the absence of thinking: subscribe once, use anything, monetize freely. Aswati Studio runs the same shape — every track under one plain-language license, cleared for YouTube, client projects, and ads, no per-use paperwork. The catalog is smaller and deliberately so: a curated voice-only collection beats fifty thousand tracks you have to audit for instruments one by one.

## The filter Artlist doesn't have

Artlist has moods, genres, even "Arabic" tags — but no way to filter for instrument-free, because almost nothing in the catalog is. For a Muslim editor that means every candidate track needs a manual listen-through, and most fail. In Aswati the standard is enforced at production: the voice, layered harmonies, sometimes the daff, never more. What that sounds like in practice: [eight free tracks](https://aswati.co/vocals), no card needed.

## For agency and client work

If you edit for clients, the license question gets sharper — you need commercial clearance you can show. Aswati's license covers client and commercial delivery on the standard plans, with the terms in writing at [aswati.co/license](https://aswati.co/license).

## FAQ
