About this tool
Plan the audio for every reel or short, check whether each track clears organic and paid use, and track licence records.
Reel Audio Usage Planner lists the audio you plan to use post by post and checks each track against four things: whether your account sees the consumer music catalogue or the commercial-use library, whether the post will be boosted as an ad, the platform's maximum clip length, and how recently the same track was used. It separates organic clearance from paid clearance, because a track that is fine on a personal organic reel usually cannot be used in a promoted post. Built for social managers and agencies who need an audit trail rather than a guess.

The tool flags posts that are fine organically but would break the moment you boost them.
Each clip is checked against the platform maximum before you cut it.
Reusing the same track too soon is flagged with the post number it clashes with.
Usually not. Business and brand accounts are served a separate commercial-use music library, so most consumer chart tracks are unavailable or greyed out, and audio added another way can be muted or the post restricted in some countries. Switch to the commercial library or use original audio.
The most common cause is a rights match on music that is not licensed for your account type or your country. Platforms scan uploads and can mute the audio, block the post regionally or remove it entirely — using the in-app commercial library or your own recording avoids this.
Only if the track is cleared for commercial use. Music from the consumer catalogue is licensed for organic personal posts, not paid promotion, so a boost will be rejected or the audio stripped. Tracks from the commercial-use library and your own original audio are the safe choices for ads.
There is no platform rule against reusing a track, but repeating the same audio every few posts makes a feed monotonous and gives the algorithm less signal to work with. A gap of four or more posts is a reasonable default, and this planner flags anything closer.
