How the Clearlist works

Artlist calls its safelist the Clearlist. You add your YouTube channel to it, and claims from Artlist on that channel are released. On Pro, Team and Business plans you can also clear individual videos on channels you do not own. The Social plan cannot.

How to clear a claim

Open the claim in YouTube Studio and read the claimant's name. Artlist's help centre splits the fix by claimant:

  • Artlist Ltd. Add the channel or the video to your Clearlist.
  • Artlist Ltd (Music Publishing). Dispute the claim on YouTube.
  • Anyone else. Contact Artlist with the track link, a public URL for the video and a screenshot of the claim.

Channels per plan

Plan YouTube channels Client work
Social 1 No
Pro 3 Yes
Team 5 Yes
Enterprise Unlimited Yes

The limits are per platform. For a client's channel, Pro users send an invite link that stays valid for 30 days.

The catch

The Clearlist closes when your plan does. Artlist says "You can't link your channels or videos to the Clearlist after the license expires."

What you registered while subscribed "remain cleared forever". The trap is a video you published during the subscription on a channel you never added. Once the plan has lapsed there is no way to add it. Add every channel on day one.

Prices

Artlist's help articles do not list prices. They say only that Pro is billed annually and Social monthly or annually, so check the pricing page for current figures.

Common questions

What happens to my videos if I cancel Artlist?

Channels and videos registered to the Clearlist during an active subscription remain cleared forever. You cannot link new channels or videos after the licence expires.

Does the Artlist Social plan cover client work?

No. Artlist says its Social licence does not cover commercial or client work. The Pro licence does.
