ElevenLabs Music review

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.
