9 Best AI Music Generators of 2026

Suno is the most complete AI songwriting tool a creator can buy for under $10 a month. Pro costs $8 a month billed yearly, or $10 monthly, and adds Suno's v6 and v6-wild models, 2,500 credits, 20 song downloads a month and commercial use rights. Suno says songs made as a paid subscriber are yours to keep, from background music in videos to an album. Beyond prompts, you can record your own voice and hear it sing, upload up to 30 minutes of audio, separate stems and train custom models on your recordings. Premier, at $24 a month billed yearly, adds Suno Studio, a browser DAW with MIDI, effects and automation, plus 10,000 credits and 60 downloads. The limits are on downloads rather than generation: the free plan cannot download songs at all, and paid plans cap monthly downloads, so heavy users of background music may run short.

ElevenLabs Music is the safest choice on this list when you need music you can put in an ad or a sponsored video. ElevenLabs says its Music v2 model is designed for commercial use and built in partnership with artists, labels and publishers, and it writes lyrics and vocals in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and more. Starter costs $6 a month, $1 for the first month, and covers about 8 to 16 tracks with a commercial license and 2 and 4 stem downloads, though not release to streaming services. Creator, at $22 a month, raises that to about 34 to 67 tracks. Music v2 also supports inpainting and section editing, so you can rework one part of a song. The credits are shared with ElevenLabs' voice and sound effect tools, which helps video makers but means music competes with voiceovers for the same balance. Self-serve plans exclude film, TV and studio games.

Stable Audio stands out for how much it lets producers do inside their own tools. Every account, free ones included, gets the web app, the Stable Audio DAW plugin and a commercial license, and Stability AI says its models are trained on fully licensed material and that you own what you make. Generations run up to six minutes, as a full mix or as separate tracks, and the Sampler builds kits and loops you can play on pads. You can also start from your own audio to create variations or rework part of a track. The free plan's 50 credits cover about 12 full-mix generations a month, which is enough to test it. Solo costs $12 a month for about 165 full mixes, and Session costs $30 for about 450. It writes no lyrics in the way Suno does, so it fits instrumentals, beds and samples better than finished vocal songs.

Loudly is the best fit for creators who want to make AI music and also put it out as an artist. Its toolset covers text to music, a remixer, a sample generator, a stem splitter and AI mastering, and you can switch between Loudly's own rights-cleared models and partner models. The Personal plan costs $8 a month billed yearly and includes 2,500 credits, songs up to 7 minutes, MP3 and WAV downloads and a license to monetize social channels, livestreams and podcasts. Annual plans add Distro Plus, which releases up to 200 songs a month to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music with 100% payout on streaming royalties. Pro, at $24 a month billed yearly, raises songs to 30 minutes and adds a license for digital ads, client work, apps and games. The free plan is a preview only, with half-minute previews and non-commercial use.

Soundraw is built for creators who need a steady supply of instrumental music they can trust. The company says its AI is trained only on music its own producers write and record, with no scraped songs, and that every beat is yours to use, monetize and share. You pick genres, which can be blended, and then use the mixer to switch instruments on and off, change intensity and set the exact length. The Creator plan is aimed at content creators and includes commercial use as background music with unlimited monthly MP3 downloads. Musicians who want to distribute songs on Spotify and Apple Music move to the Artist plans, which allow 10 or 20 downloads a month, or unlimited on Artist Unlimited, and add WAV and stems from Artist Pro. There is no vocal generation, and the pricing page showed only PLN from our location, so check the USD price before you subscribe.

Mubert is made for background music rather than songs you would release. You can describe a track in text, upload an image, chat with its AI or pick mood, genre and BPM, then rework the result in a Track Editor that changes sections, tempo and key. Track lengths are generous: up to 10 minutes on Creator, 25 on Pro and 60 on Ultra, which suits streams, study videos and podcasts. Read the license tiers carefully. Creator, at $11.67 a month billed yearly or $14 monthly, is non-commercial, so creators who monetize a channel or run ads need Pro at $32.49 a month billed yearly, which adds unlimited downloads. Client and agency work needs Ultra. No self-serve plan allows publishing tracks on Spotify or other streaming platforms or registering them in Content ID, and the free plan adds an audible watermark.

AIVA is the most composer-friendly tool here, built around editing rather than one-click songs. It generates music in more than 250 styles, lets you create your own style models, accepts an audio or MIDI influence and exports MIDI on every plan, so you can take a piece into notation software or a DAW and rework it. The license tiers are the deciding factor. On the free plan AIVA owns the copyright, you must credit AIVA, and you cannot monetize. Standard allows monetization only on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram, with 15 downloads a month. Pro assigns you the full copyright of your compositions, forever, with 300 downloads a month and high quality WAV export. Tracks top out around five and a half minutes, it does not sing, and the interface asks more of you than Suno or Soundraw. Prices showed in EUR from our location, so check the USD rate before you buy.

Soundful is the simplest way to get royalty-free loops and instrumentals for very little money. You pick a style and template, and its producer-assisted AI builds a track; every plan, free included, allows unlimited generations. Soundful says all users get a royalty-free license for every track and loop they download, while commercial use needs a paid plan with the Music Creator License. Plus raises downloads to 100 MP3 and WAV files a month with 150+ styles, and Pro adds 400 downloads, 20 STEM packs and direct distribution to SoundCloud. The catch is exclusivity: tracks on standard plans are non-exclusive, so another user could use the same sounds, and exclusive licenses or full copyright cost extra. There are no vocals, and the prices on its pricing page only appear after the page runs in a browser, so we could not verify them in our checker.

Boomy is the gentlest introduction to AI music on this list. Its pitch is that you can create original songs even if you have never made music, and the workflow keeps choices simple: create a song, then refine it with editing tools that become more advanced on paid plans. Creator costs $9.99 a month and includes 500 song saves, 25 WAV downloads a month, full commercial use of downloaded songs and permission to distribute them to streaming services. Pro, at $29.99 a month, removes the save limit and raises downloads to 250. Boomy says its artists have created more than 22 million songs. The trade-off is depth: it offers fewer creative controls than the tools above it, the free plan cannot download anything, and its site shows little sign of recent product updates, so creators who want the newest models will get more from Suno or Loudly.
