# What Is Koel Plus?

## Introduction

Koel Plus is the premium version of Koel. It offers additional features and enhancements on top of the Community edition, including but not limited to:

- **Multi-library Support**: Each user has their own library, which they populate by uploading their own music.
- **Music Sharing**: By default, uploaded music is private to the user who uploaded it. However, users can choose to share their music with others by marking songs as public.
- **[Collaboration](./collaboration)**: Invite other users to collaborate on playlists, allowing them to add, remove, and reorder songs.
- **[Cloud Storage Support](./cloud-storage-support)**: Remote and cloud storage drivers like SFTP, Amazon S3 (or any S3-compatible service), and Dropbox, are supported in addition to local storage.
- **[Single Sign-On (SSO) Support](./sso)**: Log in with your existing credentials from another service like Google.
- **[Authentication via Proxy-Authorization Header](./proxy-auth)**: Seamlessly log in users already authenticated via a proxy server, allowing Koel to be used in a corporate environment.
- **[Media Browser](./media-browser)**: A file-explorer-like interface that allows browsing music directly at a file level, useful for libraries without proper ID3 tagging.
- **[White Labeling](white-labeling.md)**: Customize the app's branding elements (name, logo, cover) to match those of your organization's.
- **[Custom Themes](custom-themes.md)**: Create and apply your own themes.
- **[AI Assistant](./ai-assistant)**: Interact with your music library using natural language — play music, manage playlists, and more.

New features are constantly planned or in active development.

## Do you need Koel Plus?
Since Koel Plus's flagship feature is multi-library support, it's most useful in a multi-user environment, such as a family or an organization.
If you're a single user, you might not need Koel Plus.

However, if you want to host your media files on a cloud storage service like Amazon S3 or Dropbox, or if you want some
of the more-niche features above, you'll need Koel Plus.
[Purchasing Koel Plus](./purchase-activation) is also a good way to financially support the active development of Koel.
