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.
Only on this side
Full songs, with vocals, from a written prompt
Suno writes and performs a song from a description, vocals included, which is a different proposition from the loop libraries creators have used for background music. Credits refresh monthly and cover generation rather than length. Read the plan you are on before publishing: what you may do commercially with a track depends on it, and the free plan is the strictest.
Our note
This is the tool people mean when they say AI music now, and the free plan is enough to find out whether it makes anything you would use. For background music under a video, a library like Uppbeat is still less trouble; for a song that had to be about something specific, nothing else is close.
