Mubert vs Soundraw Comparison 2026
Mubert licenses generated tracks rather than transferring ownership, at $11.69 a month billed annually, and its licence explicitly excludes standalone release, Content ID registration or listing on a stock music site. Soundraw generates tracks you keep the rights to outright, at $11.04 a month billed annually, with stems included so a track can be pulled apart and edited to fit a cut. The prices are nearly identical. The real decision is licence against ownership: Mubert also runs infinite background streams for live use that Soundraw does not offer.

Mubert
Generated music with a licence attached
Mubert generates tracks to a prompt and hands over a licence certificate with each download, which is the part that matters to anyone who has had a video muted. It also runs infinite streams for people who need background music that never ends, which is what streamers use it for. The free tier requires attribution, and the licence explicitly does not cover releasing a track as your own music.
Our note
Read that restriction before choosing this over a library like Uppbeat or Epidemic Sound. For background music under video it is cheaper and more flexible than either; for anything you intend to release as music, it is the wrong tool.

Soundraw
Generated music you keep the rights to
Soundraw writes the track rather than licensing one, so you pick a mood, a genre and a length and then adjust the arrangement until it fits the edit. Downloads come as WAV or as separated stems. Because nothing is licensed from a rights holder, there is no claim to dispute and no attribution to remember.
Why people weigh these two
- Soundraw instead of Mubert
- Soundraw generates music you keep the rights to at $17, the closest match for a track made rather than licensed.
- Mubert instead of Soundraw
- Mubert generates music with a licence attached, from $12 with a free tier, the closest match on both counts.
Which one should you pick
Pick Mubert if you need background music that runs indefinitely, for a live stream or long gaming session, and a licence certificate per download is enough for your purposes. Eleven dollars sixty nine a month billed annually covers unlimited downloads and WAV exports, but read the restriction first: nothing here may be released as your own music or registered with Content ID.
Pick Soundraw if you want to actually own what gets generated, keeping 100 percent of the royalties for life, and need stems to edit the arrangement into a specific cut. At $11.04 a month billed annually the price is nearly identical to Mubert, so the choice comes down to whether ownership or infinite live streaming is what you actually need.
Common questions
- Which is cheaper, Mubert or Soundraw?
- They are close: Mubert is $11.69 a month billed annually and Soundraw is $11.04, both similarly priced. The real difference is not the price but what you get, a licence from Mubert against outright ownership from Soundraw.
- Can I release a Mubert track as my own song?
- No, its licence explicitly excludes standalone release on streaming platforms, Content ID registration, or listing on stock music sites. Soundraw states you keep 100 percent of the royalties for life, which is the opposite arrangement.
- Which one is built for live streaming specifically?
- Mubert, with infinite generated streams that never end, built for live streams and long gaming sessions. Soundraw generates fixed-length tracks meant to be downloaded and dropped into a specific edit rather than played live indefinitely.
- Does Soundraw provide stems, and does Mubert?
- Soundraw does, with separated parts alongside a mixed WAV, which is what makes adjusting a track to fit a specific edit possible. Mubert's listing does not mention stems, offering WAV exports on paid tiers instead.
