Splice

Splice is a New York-based music creation platform serving producers, songwriters, and audio creators. Its core offerings are Splice Sounds, a catalog of millions of 100% royalty-free samples, one-shots, loops, MIDI patterns, and presets sold through a credit-based subscription; Splice INSTRUMENT, a creator-first virtual instrument with monthly free drops and unlimited premium presets via subscription; and a Rent-to-Own Plugins marketplace offering pay-as-you-go full-license access to 130+ professional VST/AU/AAX plugins from third-party vendors such as Xfer (Serum 2), Arturia (V Collection 11 Pro), Spitfire Audio (Abbey Road Two), and XLN Audio (RC-20). Splice ships a desktop app, a mobile app, the Splice Sounds Plugin (beta) for in-DAW browsing, and native integrations for Ableton Live 12.3+, Studio One Pro 7, Studio Pro 8+, and Pro Tools 2025.6+. The revenue model is consumer subscriptions (Sounds+ $12.99/mo, Creator $19.99/mo with 200 credits, Creator+ $39.99/mo with 500 credits, INSTRUMENT $12.99/mo) plus rent-to-own plugin payments. Splice does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDK, or partner program; its GitHub organization at github.com/splice contains internal tooling, GitHub Actions, audio engineering exercises, and forks rather than externally consumable APIs.

Splice is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Music, Music Production, Royalty-Free Samples, Sample Library, and Audio Plugins.

Splice’s developer surface includes pricing, support, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 17 more developer resources.
