AIVA review

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.
