Press play — 30-second previews
One subscription replaces the authors' part of the society fees and a music service. Where a neighbouring-rights levy applies, it remains payable.
Applies to the Oktava catalogue. Other music sources — radio, TV, streaming — are licensed separately.
A named certificate with QR verification, a memo for your staff and an append-only playback log. Ready to show whoever asks about the music.
See a certificate sample →From sign-up to music in five minutes. Every location gets its own link — staff just open it, and the player keeps playing if the internet drops.
How it works →Where the music comes from — and why no society has a claim on it.
Tracks are generated with AI music tools, then selected, edited and mastered by our team — every track is made for Oktava and enters no society's register.
Every track lands in the archive with genre, mood and tempo — that is what keeps each channel coherent.
Editors assemble channels for calm mornings, busy afternoons and lively evenings. Pick one per location or set a schedule.
Channels are refreshed so regulars don't hear the same rotation month after month.
Start with why it's legal. After that it's mostly pressing play.
Every account comes with three documents to show if anyone ever asks about the music:
Issued to your legal entity, with a number, validity dates and a QR code that leads to a public verification page.
Certificate sample →One page that tells your team what to say when someone asks about the music in the room.
An append-only record of every track played at your location — exportable whenever you need it.
Oktava is made by the company whose in-store software runs at more than five thousand venues every day.
Every feature is included in the one price — there are no tiers to compare. The subscription covers the full catalog with all channels, a certificate issued to your legal entity with QR verification, the staff memo, an append-only playback log with CSV export, and a player that keeps playing offline on any device with a browser. The same price replaces both the society fees and a music service subscription: the catalog is outside society repertoires, so nothing extra is owed for the music. Each location gets its own player link and its own line in the subscription; the annual plan adds two months free, and networks get a discount automatically at checkout — 10% per location from two locations, 20% from five. The trial lasts 7 days with no card, and you can cancel anytime — the paid period stays yours.

Yes — for our catalog. Collecting societies can only charge for works from their repertoire: their mandate comes from the authors and producers who registered with them, and it does not extend to all music. The Oktava catalog is music we produce with AI tools, and it is not registered with any society — authors' or neighbouring-rights — so there is nothing in it for a society to bill. That is the entire legal construction, and it is why the subscription ships with proof: a certificate issued to your legal entity with QR verification, and an append-only playback log showing that your location plays only the Oktava catalog. Radio, Spotify or your own playlists are a different case: they play repertoire works, so they do require a society license. What matters is what comes out of the speakers — as long as the player runs our catalog, no society fee applies to your music.
Yes — made with AI tools, selected and mastered by our team, and registered with no collecting society. We're happy to walk you through how it's made: see “How our catalog is made”. The legal position doesn't depend on hiding anything — it depends on the catalog staying outside society repertoires, which is exactly what the certificate documents.
Reply that your location plays the Oktava catalog, and attach the certificate plus a playback log export. A ready reply template is in the dashboard. Societies can only claim payment for their repertoire — your documents show it isn't being played.
Because consumer streaming covers personal listening, not playback in a business. Playing Spotify at a location still requires collecting-society licenses on top of the streaming subscription — and Spotify's own terms forbid commercial use. The economics follow from that: with repertoire music you pay twice — the society invoices for the venue, plus a streaming or background-music service. One Oktava subscription replaces both lines: the catalog is outside society repertoires, so no society fee applies to it, and the player, the channels and the documents are all included in one per-location price. For a typical location that works out several times cheaper — up to ten, depending on the society tariffs, which grow with floor area, seats and speakers. You are left with one predictable monthly cost per location instead of two bills that scale with your venue.
No. The player only plays Oktava's own catalog — that is exactly what keeps it outside society repertoires and makes the certificate possible. If your concept depends on chart hits or a specific artist, you need society licenses, and Oktava isn't the right fit.
The player caches its channel ahead of time and keeps playing offline. Playback events queue locally and sync when the connection returns — the log stays complete.
Each location gets its own player link and its own line in the subscription. Pricing is per location; excluding a location reduces the next charge automatically.
Anytime, from the dashboard. The subscription runs to the end of the paid period; after that the certificate is marked inactive on its public verification page.
Oktava is sold in 20 countries — the certificate and country documents are issued for yours, and prices are set per country. Italy isn't supported, Denmark and Finland aren't available yet. The full list is at the bottom of this page.
