A Claim represents your ability to download and own a royalty-free sample or beat from our library. Each time you download a new sound, one claim is used. These allowances refresh every month!
| Membership Tier | Claims Per Month |
|---|---|
| Free | 20 Samples |
| BandLab Membership | 100 Samples |
Upon upgrading your BandLab membership, your total ceiling and any claims you've previously used are subtracted from that new total. This means that if you have already used 20 claims this month, upgrading your membership to the Pro tier will give you 80 samples instead of 100.
Note: Claims do not roll over to the next month. Use them or lose them!
