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.
