European Sample Marketplaces

#1 Noiiz

Leeds, United Kingdom Light $7.99/mo (100 MB sounds per month), Regular $12.99/mo (300 MB sounds per month), Pro $19.99/mo (unlimited sounds); a $99 per year Unlimited offer was shown Demo on request

Best for: Producers who want a Splice-style monthly plan from a UK company

• Operating company. Noiiz Ltd
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Noiiz is a membership library of royalty-free loops, samples, synth presets and instruments, run by Noiiz Ltd from Leeds. The plan ladder is public: Light at $7.99 a month allows 100 MB of sounds, Regular at $12.99 allows 300 MB, and Pro at $19.99 has no cap. A $99 per year Unlimited offer was also shown.

Noiiz Ltd is registered in England, which has an adequacy decision but sits outside the EEA, and prices are quoted in US dollars. The terms give a 30-day refund while downloads stay below 1 GB, and plans can be cancelled at any time. The catalogue size and the data location were not stated on the pages we read.

Standout feature. Noiiz is the only seller here whose Pro plan removes the monthly download cap at the same price Splice charges for its regular Creator plan.

#2 Freesound

Barcelona, Spain Free to use; a Donate link is shown Demo on request

Best for: Sound designers and producers who need free field recordings and effects

• Operating company. Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Music Technology Group)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Spain)
• Where the data sits. Partly outside the EU: the privacy policy names Amazon Inc., USA for data hosting and email
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Freesound is a collaborative database of free sounds, a project of the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. On 5 November 2026 it listed 739,484 sounds that users have uploaded, reachable by tags, packs, collections and a sound map. A forum and a random-sound button sit beside the search.

Because members upload the material, Freesound holds recordings and effects more than finished producer kits, and the licence differs from sound to sound. The privacy policy names Amazon Inc. in the USA for data hosting and email, so a Spanish university operator does not mean EU-only processing. Donations are accepted, but no plan exists.

Standout feature. Freesound is the only university-run archive in this category, and the privacy policy lists its processors by name.

#3 Tracklib

Stockholm, Sweden Create $8.99/mo billed yearly at $107.88; Play $7.99/mo Demo on request

Best for: Producers who want to sample real songs and know the clearance cost first

• Operating company. Tracklib Holdings AB
• Jurisdiction. EU (Sweden)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Tracklib Holdings AB runs Tracklib from Stockholm, with a Swedish company number and VAT number on its pages. The service holds 100,000-plus real songs and 500,000-plus premium sounds, according to the vendor, and builds sample clearance into the workflow. Desktop and mobile apps and a Connect plugin are listed.

Pricing starts at $7.99 a month for Play, while Create is $8.99 a month billed yearly at $107.88. A producer who samples a released song takes on a clearance cost and a revenue share, which a plain loop does not carry. Prices are in dollars, the plan limits are hard to read in the text we fetched, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Tracklib is the only entry where the thing you sample is a released recording, cleared inside the product.

#4 Producer Loops

London, United Kingdom Per pack, shown in GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, CAD or JPY; individual pack prices not read Demo on request

Best for: Producers who want to buy single packs from many labels in one shop

• Operating company. Producer Loops Limited
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Producer Loops Limited runs a London shop that sells packs, loops, construction kits, MIDI and vocals from many labels. The site counted 31,485 loops and samples and has a free section with 420 sample packs. The company address and VAT number are published, and prices can be shown in GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, CAD or JPY.

No subscription exists, so you pay for each pack and keep the files. We did not read individual pack prices or the licence terms for each label, and no plugin or in-DAW browser is mentioned. Disputes fall under the courts of England and Wales, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Producer Loops is the only shop here that shows prices in six currencies, euros among them, next to a free section of 420 packs.

#5 Prime Loops

London, United Kingdom Per pack in GBP, for example £18.95, £21.95 and £37.95 on the pages we read Demo on request

Best for: Hip hop and soul producers who want curated packs from independent labels

• Operating company. Prime Loops
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Prime Loops is a London store at Netil House that sells downloadable packs from more than 25 labels, its own included. The shop lists over 1,000 packs in the form of melodies, vocals, stems, MIDI melodies, construction kits and drum kits. The pages we read showed prices of £18.95, £21.95 and £37.95.

The catalogue is hand-picked and leans toward hip hop, soul and trap. Prime Loops states that 15% of all sales go to charity. The legal text names the store and a London address but no company form or number, no subscription or plugin is shown, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Prime Loops is the only shop here that publishes a fixed 15% of sales donated to charity.

#6 Looperman

Wilmslow, United Kingdom Free; the site states no subscriptions Demo on request

Best for: Beginners and bedroom producers who want free vocals and loops

• Operating company. Looperman Ltd
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Looperman is a free community site for loops, acapellas and full tracks, owned by Looperman Ltd, company number 12575092, in Wilmslow. Members upload their own material and comment on each other's work. The site states that there are no subscriptions, and it offers free software as well.

The privacy policy, updated on 13 February 2024, is written for EEA and UK users. Quality depends on the uploader, the pages we read do not summarise licensing per loop, and sponsors and advertising appear on the site. No paid catalogue, DAW plugin or label content exists, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Looperman is the only seller here where singers upload acapellas that other members can download for free.

#7 ModeAudio

Edinburgh, United Kingdom Per pack, display in EUR, USD or GBP; the site showed a 3 for 2 offer; pack prices not read Demo on request

Best for: Producers who want presets and format-specific packs for Serum, Vital, FL Studio or Ableton

• Operating company. ModeAudio Ltd
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

ModeAudio Ltd is an Edinburgh company, number SC658708, selling loops, hits, patches, synth presets, field recordings and bundles. Packs are sorted by format, with Serum and Vital presets and packs for FL Studio and Ableton. A magazine with tutorials sits beside the shop.

Prices display in euros, dollars or pounds, and the site showed a 3 for 2 offer on packs. We did not read pack prices or the catalogue size. No subscription or plugin is listed, the terms were updated in February 2026, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. ModeAudio is the shop here that sorts its catalogue by the producer's own DAW and synth format.

#8 Ghosthack

Vettweiss, Germany One-time payment per product, shown in USD, GBP or EUR; pack prices not read Demo on request

Best for: Producers who dislike subscriptions and want to keep their downloads

• Operating company. Christoph Palme (Ghosthack Audio)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Ghosthack Audio is a German shop run by Christoph Palme from Vettweiss. Packs, bundles, drums, foley, song kits, vocals, plugin presets and video courses are sold for a one-time payment, and the site states a 30-day money-back guarantee and lifelong access to downloads. According to the vendor, more than 226,000 producers use it.

The imprint shows a named person without a company number, and the privacy policy describes Google Analytics and Google Remarketing. Prices display in USD, GBP or EUR, and we did not read pack prices. Downloads are for PC and Mac, with no plugin, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Ghosthack is the only EU-based shop here that states lifelong access to downloads as a standing promise.

#9 Soundsnap

Nicosia, Cyprus Not read; the home page advertises a start with 20% off Demo on request

Best for: Post-production professionals who want a large SFX catalogue on a download plan

• Operating company. OJOO Limited
• Jurisdiction. EU (Cyprus)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Pond5

Soundsnap is a sound effects library for post-production, and its privacy policy names OJOO Limited in Nicosia, Cyprus. The home page advertises plans with unlimited downloads, weekly updates, projects and an AI voiceover tool. Music is not a main section, so the audience is editors and game audio staff.

The policy refers to the laws of the State of New York, and no registration number was read, so the Cyprus address is only part of the picture. We did not read the pricing page; the home page advertised a start with 20% off.

Standout feature. Soundsnap is the only entry built around sound effects and voiceover, not loops and presets.

#10 Samplephonics

Leeds, United Kingdom Per product; prices not read; a 70% off Noiiz deal was advertised Demo on request

Best for: Producers who like one label's sound and want to buy its packs directly

• Operating company. Samplephonics Ltd
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Samplephonics Ltd is a Leeds label at Sunny Bank Mills that sells downloadable packs, virtual instruments and plugin presets. The site publishes a company address and a VAT number, and its royalty-free wording states that sounds are licensed, not sold. A free section is available.

Samplephonics is a single label, so the range is narrower than at a multi-label shop, and we did not read prices. The home page advertised a 70% off Noiiz deal without explaining how the two companies relate. No subscription or plugin exists, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Samplephonics is the only shop here whose home page links to another seller's subscription deal.

#11 Wave Alchemy

Ilkeston, United Kingdom Prices in sterling net of VAT, Euros or US Dollars; an Ultimate Bundle advertised a £700 saving Demo on request

Best for: Producers who want drum-focused sounds and instruments from one developer

• Operating company. Wave Alchemy Limited
• Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Wave Alchemy Limited, company number 07797886, builds drum samples, music samples, effects and virtual instruments in Ilkeston, England. The Triaz drum engine is part of the range. Prices appear in sterling net of VAT, euros or US dollars, and an Ultimate Bundle advertised a £700 saving.

Only the company's own products are sold, so there is no multi-label catalogue and no subscription. PayPal is named as a payment route in the privacy policy, English law governs the terms, individual prices were not read, and the data location is not stated.

Standout feature. Wave Alchemy is the only entry that ships its own drum engine, Triaz, next to its sample libraries.

#12 Vengeance Sound

Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany not shown on the pages we read Demo on request

Best for: Electronic producers who want samples from the same shop as their synth and effects plugins

• Operating company. Vengeance Sound (owner Manuel Schleis)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. not stated on the pages we read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Splice

Vengeance Sound is a German music tool maker owned by Manuel Schleis in Rüdesheim am Rhein. The shop has sections for instruments, effects, samplepacks and freebies, and a free analyzer plugin, VPS Scope, is offered. Avenger 2 and Phalanx are named among its instruments.

This entry is thin because we could not read the sample pack details or any price. The seller is a named individual with a VAT ID, not a company with a registration number, and the data location is not stated. It suits someone who already buys Vengeance plugins.

Standout feature. Vengeance Sound is the only entry here whose sample packs come from a plugin developer's own shop, with a free analyzer beside them.
