the expensive part.

A library this size is worth real money, even at budget pack prices. Most cost more. Making all of it searchable works out to cents per sample, and less the bigger your library gets. Drag the slider for yours.

Read this if you're deciding between Home Studio and Professional Suite. Your library size is unlimited on every tier — what changes is how many samples AI indexes per month and the Premium request allowance.

Pricing FAQ

Straight answers on plans, billing, and AI indexing.

How do AI indexing and Premium requests work?

Your library size is unlimited on every tier. Paid plans meter two things: AI indexing (the one-time AI fingerprint pass per folder — genre, tags, descriptions) and Premium requests (Smart chat and AI-generated collections). Fast chat and Deep Search are unlimited on paid plans. Local analysis — key, tempo, spectral features — is always free.

What happens with my allowances at the end of the month?

Premium requests reset every billing period and don't roll over. Unused AI indexing rolls into an add-on balance capped at one month's grant — so a Home Studio user who indexes nothing one month carries up to 50,000 samples into the next. Add-on balances never expire, and you can top up AI indexing at any time from the billing page.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. You'll keep access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account will be downgraded to the free Demo Room plan. Your cloud-stored samples will be kept for 30 days so you can download them or re-subscribe.

Can I use Sample Vault in a browser?

Yes, on Home Studio and Professional Suite. Sign in at samplevault.ai and click Open app — the same library, shortcuts, and tools, running against the samples you've uploaded to the cloud. Library scanning, sample analysis, and Ableton Link still need the desktop app. Demo Room and Lifetime are desktop-only.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Sample Vault isn't the right fit, reach out within 30 days of your purchase and we'll issue a full refund, no questions asked.

Why is there a paid subscription?

AI indexing and cloud sync cost real money to run — LLM inference, storage, bandwidth. That's what the paid plan pays for. The local app (scanning, analysis, browsing) stays free because it runs on your machine, not ours. No upsell, no dark pattern.

Does Sample Vault generate sounds with AI?

No. Sample Vault doesn't generate audio. It labels every file in your library with key, BPM, genre, mood, instrument, and about forty DSP features, so you can search by describing what you want instead of guessing filenames.

Do I need to reorganise my sample library?

No. Point Sample Vault at your existing folders and it indexes everything in place. Files don't move, names don't change, and there's no required folder hierarchy. Your organisation stays the way you had it — Sample Vault just makes everything in it searchable.

Can I switch between plans?

You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to the new features. When downgrading, you keep your current plan's features until the end of the billing period. Any samples stored in the cloud beyond your new plan's storage limit will be kept for 30 days after downgrading.
