Pricing

Pricing model: Freemium

Subscription plans with monthly credits and a free tier exist, but the pricing page is client-rendered and exposed no figures today; third-party listings cite Standard around $10/month and Pro around $30/month with about 20% off annually, unconfirmed on the vendor page. The terms state subscriptions auto-renew and that output may not be downloaded.

Overview

About Udio

Udio generates full songs with vocals from a text prompt and lets you work on the arrangement afterwards: extend a track forwards or backwards, inpaint a section, make variations and remix in a different style, with results published to a feed inside the app. Since its October 2025 settlement and licensing deal with Universal Music, generated output stays inside the platform: the terms now forbid downloading any output and limit use to personal, non-commercial purposes, with a licensed subscription service planned for 2026. Pricing is subscription-based with monthly credits, but the pricing page renders only in the browser and showed no figures today. The operator is Uncharted Labs, Inc.

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of Udio

medium confidence

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

Best for

Hobbyists making songs to share inside the Udio community
Songwriters sketching arrangements and vocal ideas they will re-record elsewhere
Anyone who wants to iterate on structure with section-level edits rather than whole-song rerolls

Not for

Creators who need to download a file or use the track commercially, which the terms currently forbid
Developers, since no public API is offered

Watch out: Read section 1.2 of the terms before subscribing: 'You may not download copies of any Output', and use is 'solely for your personal and non-commercial purposes' — a paid plan does not change that today.
