How to choose

What the 25 makers publish

  • 18 of 25 publish a free plan.
  • The lowest published US-dollar entry price is ecrett music at $4.99/mo, billed yearly; the median is $8 a month.
  • 11 do not publish a price at all.
  • Most common confirmed features: Commercial use (22) and Audio upload (17).

Check before you pay

  • Free tracks are often for personal use only — check the licence before using one in a video or ad.
  • Ownership terms differ: some makers grant you the rights, others license the track to you.
  • If you mix or master elsewhere, make sure stem downloads are on your plan.
  • Credits usually buy a number of songs per month; count how many takes you need per finished track.

How we score

Every fact on this page was read from the maker's own pricing, feature and help pages on Oct 24, 2026 and links to the page it came from. One formula scores every product out of 10; anything a maker does not publish earns nothing, so a hidden price or an unstated limit costs points.

5 pointsShare of the five features below that the maker confirms on its own pages.
1.5 pointsA free plan (0.75 for a free trial instead).
1.5 pointsA published price — or the product is free outright.
2 pointsHow cheap the entry plan is against the other US-dollar monthly or yearly prices in this list. A price in another currency, a one-time fee or a price with no stated period gets the minimum (0.5).
±1.0 maxEditor adjustment, printed on the card with its reason. Commission is never a reason.
The five features: Vocals — Generates sung vocals and lyrics, not only instrumentals. Commercial use — The maker says generated music may be used commercially on at least one plan. Stems — Downloads separate stems or tracks: vocals, drums and so on. Audio upload — Extends, remixes or covers audio you upload. API — A public music-generation API documented on the maker's site.

Questions

Eleven Music (ElevenLabs) ranks #1 of 25 with 9.8/10 on our published formula. Generated tracks are cleared for broad commercial use, and Music v1 and v2 are available via ElevenAPI.
