Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
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.

Udio
Generate a track when licensing one is the bottleneck
Udio makes music from a text prompt, which for a creator is less about writing songs than about clearing the last thing standing between a cut and an upload. Credits buy generations, and the free daily quota is enough to hear whether the output suits the format before any money moves. The paid tiers raise the monthly credit allowance and the free trial has its own limits, so read what a plan actually includes before treating it as unlimited.
