10 Best AI Music Generators of 2026

Suno is the most complete prompt-to-song tool on this list: type a description or paste lyrics and it returns a mixed track, and the same app can extend, remix or cover songs. Licensing is clear once you read the help center. Songs made on the free plan belong to Suno and may only be used non-commercially; songs made while subscribed to Pro or Premier belong to you, and paid plans carry commercial use rights. Suno also warns that fully AI-written music may not qualify for copyright protection in the US, while lyrics you wrote yourself can be registered. Pro costs $8 per month billed yearly ($96) or $10 monthly and includes 2,500 credits, 20 downloads a month and two stem separation types. Premier at $24 per month billed yearly raises downloads to 60 and adds Suno Studio with MIDI and effects. The download caps are the main limit for creators who need many background tracks each month.

ElevenLabs Music runs on the company's Music v2 model and sits inside the same account as its voice and dubbing tools, which suits creators who already produce narration there. The licensing story is the main reason to pick it: ElevenLabs says the model was built with artists, labels and publishers and that tracks are cleared for broad commercial use, with rights that vary by tier. The free plan is personal use only. Starter costs $6 per month and is listed as commercial use without streaming release, so it fits background music for videos and ads. Creator, at $22 per month with the first month at $11, is listed as commercial use outside enterprise work and adds stems. On every Self-Serve plan, film, TV and Studio Games are excluded and need an Enterprise agreement. Music uses 900 credits per minute, so Starter's 30,000 monthly credits cover about 33 minutes of audio.

Stable Audio is the only tool here that includes a commercial license on its free plan. The free tier's 50 credits a month cover about 12 full-mix generations, which is enough to test whether its sound fits your videos or podcast. Solo costs $12 per month for 660 credits, or about 165 full-mix generations, and Session costs $30 per month for 1,800 credits. Every plan includes the web app and a plugin for working inside a DAW, and paid generations can run up to 6 minutes. Stability AI says the Stable Audio models are trained on fully licensed material and that users own what they make and can commercialize outputs, which addresses the training-data question many brands ask. It is built for instrumentals, loops and samples rather than sung pop songs. Businesses with over $1M in yearly revenue should contact Stability AI for an enterprise license.

Loudly packages generation, licensing and distribution in one subscription, and its pricing page states plainly what each tier allows. The free plan is for exploring: 0.5 minute previews, 1 download a day, non-commercial use and a Basic License for one social channel. Personal costs $8 per month billed annually ($96 a year) and includes 2,500 credits, songs up to 7 minutes, MP3 and WAV downloads and a Personal License to monetize social channels, YouTube, livestreams and podcasts. Pro at $24 per month billed annually adds 10,000 credits, 30 minute songs and a Pro License covering digital ads, client work, apps, websites and indie games. Annual plans include Distro Plus, which lets you release 200 songs a month to Spotify, Apple Music and others with 100% of streaming royalties paid out. The split between Personal and Pro licenses means freelancers doing client work should start on Pro.

SOUNDRAW focuses on royalty-free background music and spells out its license in a short OK, Ask and Not OK list. Every plan allows personal and commercial use in YouTube videos, UGC, product videos, live streams, games, client work, hold music, radio and TV. The Creator plan is aimed at content creators and includes unlimited monthly downloads in MP3. The Artist plans add the right to release songs on Spotify and other streaming services, but only after you modify the beat, for example by adding your own vocals or an instrument, so it sounds clearly different from the download. Registering Content ID and selling modified beats on stock sites are not allowed, and meditation, lo-fi and relaxation content that uses tracks as downloaded may stay up only while you subscribe. SOUNDRAW says its model is trained only on input from its in-house musicians. The pricing page showed local currency from our location, so the USD price check is pending.

AIVA is a composition tool more than a song generator. It writes music in more than 250 styles, lets you build your own style models from an audio or MIDI influence and gives you MIDI files you can open in any DAW. Its licensing has three clear tiers, defined in the EULA. Free gives a non-commercial license, AIVA owns the copyright and you must credit AIVA, with 3 downloads a month up to 3 minutes. Standard grants a limited commercial license to monetize only on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram, with 15 downloads a month and no credit required. Pro assigns the full copyright of each composition to you, with 300 downloads a month, tracks up to 5 minutes 30 seconds and WAV export. The license is perpetual and worldwide. Businesses with 3 or more employees and over $300k in yearly revenue must contact AIVA for a custom plan. The pricing page showed euros from our location, so the USD check is pending.

Mubert Render is built for creators who need instrumental tracks of a set length, from short clips up to 60 minutes on Ultra. You can prompt it by chat, text or image and adjust the structure, stems, BPM and key in the Track Editor. Licensing depends on the plan. Free gives 25 tracks a month with an audible watermark, attribution and non-commercial use. Creator costs $11.67 per month billed annually ($14 monthly) and is still for personal, non-monetized content. Pro at $32.49 per month billed annually ($39 monthly) adds monetization and digital ad rights, unlimited downloads and tracks up to 25 minutes, and Ultra at $62.50 per month billed annually adds client work and music in apps or games. On every plan, Mubert tracks cannot be sold, released on streaming services, registered in Content ID or redistributed as standalone music, so it is a background music tool, not a release tool.

Soundful generates royalty-free tracks and loops from genre templates, with unlimited generations on every plan and limits set by downloads instead. Its plans map to three licenses. Free includes 25+ styles, 1 MP3 download a month and a Personal License. Plus costs $4.99 per user per month billed monthly and includes 150+ styles, 100 MP3 and WAV downloads a month and the Music Creator License. Pro at $9.99 adds 400 downloads, 20 stem packs and direct distribution to SoundCloud. Business at $45.99 per user per month raises downloads to 750 and adds a Business License for companies under $1M in revenue, while Enterprise covers TV shows, TV ads and custom styles. Soundful's FAQ says commercial use requires an active premium plan. It is a template tool, so it offers less prompt control than Suno or Stable Audio, but the price per download is the lowest here.

Boomy is one of the older AI song makers and stays simple: pick a style, generate, then edit the result with its song tools. Its licensing is spelled out on the pricing page. Free users get 25 song saves, basic editing, no downloads and no commercial use, and Boomy's terms say Boomy owns the material generated by free users. Creator, listed at $9.99 per month down from $14.99, includes 500 song saves, advanced editing, 25 WAV downloads a month, full commercial use of downloaded songs and permission to distribute them to streaming services. Pro at $29.99 per month adds unlimited saves and 250 WAV downloads a month with the same rights. That combination of commercial use and distribution rights is the reason to consider Boomy. Its controls are thinner than newer prompt-based tools, so creators who want detailed vocals or long tracks will get more from Suno or Stable Audio.

Udio makes polished songs and gives paid users fine control: Standard adds Voice Control, editing of music and lyrics, uploads and style references, and Pro raises credits to 6,000 a month. For this list, though, the license is the deciding factor. Udio's current terms of service say the company or its licensors own the Output, that you may use Output solely for personal and non-commercial purposes and that you may not download copies of your Output from the app. That makes Udio a place to create and share songs inside its own service rather than a source of music for monetized videos or releases. The free plan gives 10 credits a day, 100 a month and up to 3 full-length songs of 2:10 a day. Standard costs $8 per month billed annually ($96) or $10 monthly. If you need tracks you can publish elsewhere, pick Suno, ElevenLabs Music or Stable Audio instead.
