What our research says

CraftMusic AI

CraftMusic AI bundles generation, lyric writing, stem separation and mastering, and audio-to-MIDI into one credit pool rather than separate tools, which is convenient if a project needs more than one of those steps. The free tier is personal-use only, so anyone monetizing output needs at least the Basic paid tier for a commercial license.

Pros

Combines song generation, lyric writing, stem separation, and MIDI conversion under one account
Commercial license included starting at the $10.49/month tier
Free tier exists to test the workflow before paying

Cons

Free tier is capped at one generation per month and personal use only
No company name or location disclosed on the site
Credit-based pricing means heavy users can burn through a tier quickly

Udio

Udio still has the best arrangement tools of the prompt-to-song generators, with extend, inpaint and remix controls that let you shape a track rather than reroll it. Since the Universal settlement, though, what you make stays on Udio: no downloads and personal use only, which turns it from a production tool into a listening and sharing app until the licensed 2026 service and its terms arrive.

Pros

Section-level control: extend, precede, inpaint, variation and remix rather than generate-and-pray
Settled with Universal and licensed with Warner, which lowers the legal risk of the output itself
Free tier with daily credits lets you evaluate before paying
Mobile apps alongside the web app, per the terms' app clauses

Cons

Output cannot be downloaded and is limited to personal, non-commercial use under the current terms
Pricing is invisible without JavaScript, so plan limits must be checked inside the app
The licensed platform promised for 2026 had no public terms or launch details on the site today
No API, and no stated country or address beyond the corporate name in the terms
