New AI music makers appear almost every month, but Udio sits at the top of the tree.
Founded in 2023 by a team of former Google Deepmind researchers, it offers a sophisticated way to generate music tracks from a text prompt.
Udio offers three plans: Free, Standard and Pro. The free plan provides 100 credits a month with an extra ten credits a day. Each credit is worth a 30-second segment of generated music, and because each generation cycle produces two segments, that effectively means each 30 seconds of music costs two credits. A three-minute song is likely to consume between ten and 15 credits.
Standard ($10) gives you 200 credits per month, while Pro ($30) ups that to 4,800 credits. You can also buy extra credits at $3 for 100. All content is user owned and copyright free – so long as you don’t use copyrighted material such as lyrics or samples – and can be used commercially.
