Why switch
3 reasons to choose Song Creator Pro over Loudly
Loudly is an instrumental engine
Loudly's generator is built around genre, subgenre, BPM, key, duration, energy, instruments and structure, and it is good at producing a track that fits an edit. What it does not do is write and sing a song from your lyrics. Its stems include a vocals lane and it suggests taking tracks into your DAW to add vocals yourself. Song Creator Pro generates complete songs with synchronised vocals from lyrics you write, in more than 50 languages through ACE-Step 1.5 and in English and Mandarin through YuE2, and has an instrumental mode for when you only need the bed.
Loudly keeps the copyright
Loudly's own pricing FAQ says that, because copyright law around AI music is unsettled, it retains the copyright to Loudly music while granting you commercial rights. Streaming releases have to go through Loudly Distribution, which it says is to protect the original copyright. That is workable, but it means your catalogue lives inside one company's licence and one company's distributor. Song Creator Pro generates audio on your own PC, includes a commercial licence in the purchase, and lets you release through whichever distributor you prefer.
Credits, tiers and a licence that depends on the tier
Loudly's free plan gives 30-second previews, one download a day, basic MP3 and non-commercial use for a single social channel. Personal is $10 a month, or $8 billed annually, for 2,500 credits and a licence covering your own social channels and podcasts. Client work, ads, apps and games need Pro at $30 a month, or $24 annually, for 10,000 credits. The bigger Distro Plus allowance only comes with annual billing. Song Creator Pro costs $49.99 once, and the same commercial licence applies to everything you make.
Head to head
How Song Creator Pro compares with Loudly
Loudly has grown into one of the more complete browser toolkits for background music. You get two VEGA models, precise key, BPM and duration control, stems, a sample generator, a remixer, AI mastering, an API and a distribution service, all in one subscription. For a video creator or a producer who wants instrumental starting points, it is a strong product. The comparison below is about the places where its design pushes against you: no sung vocals, credits, a tiered licence, and a copyright that stays with Loudly.

Top 10 Loudly alternatives of 2026
Every tool below was checked against its current pricing and terms in September 2026. Prices and limits in this category change often, so verify before you commit.
Song Creator Pro
Unlimited local AI music generation and downloads, one time payment
Song Creator Pro is a Windows desktop app that generates, remixes and separates music entirely on your own GPU. There is no account, no upload step and no credit meter. It ships two open models, ACE-Step 1.5 and YuE2, and is among the first apps anywhere to run YuE2 on 8 GB GPUs rather than the 24 GB its official release demands. You describe a song in plain language and it renders locally, in any of 50+ languages, with inference steps, guidance scale and seed exposed so results are repeatable. It is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
Coming from Loudly? The alternative for people who want songs rather than beds, and who would rather own the generator than rent credits. It runs locally on Windows for $49.99 once and writes full songs with vocals. You lose Loudly's key and BPM dials, its sample generator, mastering and built-in distribution, and you need a capable GPU.
Pros
- Runs 100% offline on your own machine, so prompts and audio never leave your PC
- Includes YuE2, the model that outscored Suno on WildSongBench, running on 8 GB GPUs
- One-time purchase with lifetime updates instead of a monthly subscription
- Genuinely unlimited generations with no credits, no daily caps and no download limits
- Built-in stem separation
- Producer-grade controls: seed, guidance scale, inference steps and batch generation
- Exports MP3, FLAC and WAV with full commercial rights included
Cons
- Windows only today, with macOS still on the roadmap
- A GPU (NVIDIA or AMD) is strongly recommended, and speed depends on your hardware
- No browser or mobile access, so you cannot generate from a phone
- No community feed or social sharing features
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| itch.io | $44.99 once |
| Microsoft Store | $49.99 once |
| Bundle | $72.50 once |
Soundraw
Slider-driven royalty-free beds for video
Soundraw generates royalty-free instrumental music that you shape with genre, mood and energy sliders rather than text prompts. It is purpose-built for video editors who need a track to fit a timeline, and its licence stays valid for content published while subscribed.
Coming from Loudly? The nearest like-for-like instrumental tool. Soundraw's sliders and section-level energy editing are built for cutting music to video, and its Creator plan has unlimited MP3 downloads. Like Loudly, it will not let you send an unmodified track to streaming services.
Pros
- Fast, predictable results without prompt engineering
- Length and energy controls designed for cutting to video
- Unlimited generation on paid plans
Cons
- Instrumental only, with no real vocal generation
- Less creative range than a prompt-driven model
- No plan allows releasing an unmodified track to streaming services, and WAV and stems are reserved for the Artist tiers
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Creator | ~$11/mo |
| Artist tiers | ~$19.50 to $32.50/mo |
Beatoven.ai
Fairly Trained background music, licensed by the download minute
Beatoven.ai composes royalty-free instrumental background music for videos, podcasts, games and ads from a text description, using its in-house Maestro model, and has a separate Maestro model for sound effects. It is Fairly Trained certified and says contributing musicians are compensated. Generation is unlimited on paid plans, but downloads are metered in minutes. Each download comes with a non-exclusive perpetual licence that survives cancellation, while Beatoven keeps ownership of the track and does not allow distribution to Spotify or other streaming services.
Coming from Loudly? A simpler, cheaper background music service with a Fairly Trained certificate and a sound effects model. Downloads are metered by the minute, Beatoven keeps ownership of the tracks, and streaming distribution is not allowed at all.
Pros
- Fairly Trained certified, with compensated contributing musicians
- Perpetual licence for every downloaded track, even after you cancel
- Sound effects model alongside the music model
- MP3 and WAV downloads, pay-per-track option and an API
- Simple enough for non-musicians
Cons
- No vocal generation
- Downloads are metered by the minute, around 30 or 60 a month on the main plans
- Beatoven retains ownership of the tracks, you only get a licence
- Direct distribution to Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services is not allowed
- Cloud-only, with nothing usable to download on the free plan
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Creator | ~$10/mo ($100/yr) |
| Visionary | ~$20/mo ($200/yr) |
| Pay as you go | ~$3/download minute |
Mubert
Royalty-free background music built from human-made samples
Mubert generates royalty-free functional music, the kind that sits behind videos, podcasts, apps and streams, by assembling tracks from a large library of samples contributed by human musicians who get paid when their loops are used. That gives it a cleaner provenance story than models trained by scraping, and it is why Mubert has avoided the lawsuits that reshaped Suno and Udio. You generate by prompt, mood, genre or activity, with tracks up to 25 minutes long, and a developer API serves the same engine to apps and games. As of September 2026 plans run from a free Ambassador tier to a $199 a month Business tier. The catch is scope: it makes background beds, not songs with vocals, and no plan allows publishing to Spotify or other streaming services.
Coming from Loudly? Similar territory to Loudly, built from samples contributed by paid human musicians, with tracks up to 25 minutes and a mature API. Commercial use for monetised content starts at $39 a month, and no Mubert plan permits Spotify releases.
Pros
- Built from licensed human-made samples, so its rights story is unusually clean
- Tracks up to 25 minutes long, well suited to podcasts, streams and ambient beds
- Unlimited lossless and MP3 downloads on every paid plan
- A mature API for generating music inside apps, games and products
- Stem editing on all tiers, with a full track editor for structure, BPM and key on Pro and Business
Cons
- No vocal generation, so it cannot write an actual song with lyrics
- No plan permits releasing tracks to Spotify, Apple Music or any streaming platform, or registering them with Content ID
- Commercial use for monetized content starts at Pro, $39 a month, which adds up fast against a one-time purchase
- The free and Creator tiers are non-commercial only, with the free tier requiring attribution
- Cloud-only, and payments are non-refundable on every tier
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Ambassador | $0 |
| Creator | $14/mo ($11.69 annual) |
| Pro | $39/mo ($32.49 annual) |
| Business | $199/mo ($149.29 annual) |
Boomy
Instant songs with built-in streaming distribution
Boomy is one of the oldest consumer AI music services, built around making a track in seconds from style presets rather than open text prompts, then releasing it to Spotify, Apple Music and dozens of other stores through Boomy's own distribution pipeline. That release path is its real product: no other tool in this list will put your track on streaming services for you. The trade-offs are significant. In May 2023 Spotify removed tens of thousands of Boomy uploads after Universal Music flagged artificial streaming by bots, an episode that still shapes how platforms treat bulk AI uploads today. Boomy keeps a share of streaming royalties, songs are not royalty-free without an active membership, and the underlying generation quality has fallen well behind prompt-driven models like Suno or YuE2.
Coming from Loudly? If the reason you chose Loudly was its distribution service, Boomy is the other tool built around releasing AI tracks to streaming stores. It is faster and more preset driven, takes a share of royalties, and its output has fallen behind newer models.
Pros
- Built-in distribution to Spotify, Apple Music and 40+ other streaming stores
- Extremely fast and beginner friendly, with a song ready in seconds
- A free tier lets you create and save songs before paying anything
- Royalty collection is handled for you, with metadata and ISRC codes managed by Boomy
Cons
- Boomy takes a cut of streaming royalties, and the split only improves on higher tiers
- Songs are not royalty-free without an active paid membership, so your rights lapse if you cancel
- Style-preset generation with limited prompt control produces dated, samey output next to modern models
- Spotify removed tens of thousands of Boomy tracks in May 2023 over artificial streaming, and platforms have policed bulk AI uploads aggressively since
- Releases to streaming stores are metered on every plan, even where song saves are unlimited
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Creator | $9.99/mo |
| Pro | $29.99/mo |
Suno
The most popular AI song generator
Suno is the best known AI music platform and the benchmark most others are measured against. In September 2026 it retired every model before v6 under its Warner settlement and replaced them with the licensed v6 family, which has drawn mixed reviews: cleaner production for some, muffled and more generic output for others. It runs in the browser, has a large community, and offers a duration slider and Advanced Split stem separation that regenerates stems rather than extracting them.
Coming from Loudly? The obvious move if you need a singer. Suno writes and performs full songs in the browser. Read the caps first: Pro at $10 a month allows only 20 downloads a month, and the free tier lost its monthly downloads in September 2026.
Pros
- Polished, clean vocal production across mainstream genres
- Very broad genre coverage and a large, active creator community
- Advanced Split regenerates stems from nearly 100 instrument choices
- Duration control from 10 seconds to 6 minutes in 5-second steps
- Works in any browser on any device, including phones
Cons
- From 3 September 2026 the free tier has no monthly download allowance at all, just a one-off pool of up to 7 trial downloads for personal use
- Paid plans cap downloads: Pro allows only 20 songs a month, Premier 60
- Subscription credits expire and never roll over between days or months
- All audio is processed on Suno's servers, so nothing stays private
- Every pre-v6 model was deleted in September 2026, so old songs cannot be extended or regenerated, and Sony and Universal litigation is ongoing
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Pro | $10/mo ($8 annual) |
| Premier | $30/mo ($24 annual) |
Stable Audio
Stability AI's audio model, strong on instrumentals
Stable Audio from Stability AI focuses on high-quality instrumental generation, sound design and loops rather than full vocal songs. It is a common pick for producers who want royalty-free beds and textures, and Stable Audio Open gives the research community a downloadable variant.
Coming from Loudly? Prompt-driven instrumentals with stronger sound design and texture than most background music engines. A good fit for producers using Loudly mainly for loops and starting points.
Pros
- Excellent instrumental, loop and sound-design output
- Backed by an established research lab, with an open model variant
- Clean royalty-free licensing for paid users
Cons
- Vocals are a weak point compared with Suno or Mureka
- Cloud subscription for the hosted product, with no free plan and a $12 a month entry tier
- Less suited to writing complete songs with lyrics
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Solo | $12/mo |
| Session | $30/mo |
| Producer | $90/mo |
| Studio | $199/mo |
ElevenLabs Music
The cleanest licensing story in AI music
Eleven Music is ElevenLabs' entry into music generation, launched in August 2025 and substantially upgraded with v2 in 2026. Its distinguishing feature is legal rather than sonic: it was trained on licensed stems and built in partnership with rights holders before launch, rather than settling lawsuits afterwards. It supports vocals in 59 languages and generates section by section with inpainting.
Coming from Loudly? Vocals in 59 languages with a licensed training story, and an API for anyone who used Loudly's. The $6 Starter plan is the first with a commercial licence, and film, TV and large game rights need Enterprise.
Pros
- Trained on licensed material from the start, giving it the clearest commercial position of any major platform
- Vocals in 59 languages, with native-quality delivery in 11
- Section-by-section building and inpainting to regenerate parts of a track
- Can generate stems, lyrics and full compositions, and shift style mid-track
- A mature, well-documented API for developers
Cons
- Credits are shared with ElevenLabs' speech products, so music competes with your voice usage
- Film, TV and large studio game rights require an Enterprise plan
- Output is capped at 44.1 kHz, and formats are MP3, PCM, Opus and telephony codecs
- Cloud-only with no offline option
- The music product is newer and less battle-tested than its voice tooling
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Starter | $6/mo ($5 annual) |
| Creator | $22/mo |
| Pro | $99/mo |
Google Flow Music
Google's AI music studio, formerly Riffusion and Producer.ai
Google Flow Music started life as Riffusion in 2022, a diffusion model that generated audio as spectrogram images, became Producer.ai in 2025, and was acquired into Google Labs in February 2026 before relaunching under its current name that April. It now runs on Lyria 3 Pro, with Gemini handling conversational editing, Veo generating matching music videos and Nano Banana producing cover art. Every track it renders carries Google's SynthID watermark.
Coming from Loudly? The most generous free option, with 500 credits a day on Google's Lyria models and vocals included. High-quality downloads start on paid tiers, and every file carries a SynthID watermark.
Pros
- Free tier with daily top-up credits and the full core features
- Conversational editing through Gemini rather than prompt and reroll
- Google does not claim ownership of what you generate
- Music videos and cover art produced alongside the track
Cons
- Every output is embedded with Google's SynthID watermark
- Generation is metered by credits, and commercial rights are not stated on the pricing page
- Third name in four years, so the product keeps moving under you
- Cloud-only and tied to a Google account
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Free | $0 |
| Starter | $8/mo ($6 annual) |
| Plus | $24/mo ($18 annual) |
| Member | $64/mo ($48 annual) |
ACE-Step
The open-source model behind much of local AI music
ACE-Step is an open-source music foundation model from ACE Studio and StepFun, and version 1.5 added an FSQ tokenizer along with remix, edit and cover tooling. It is free to download and run locally, and it is the engine underneath a number of consumer local apps, including parts of Song Creator Pro.
Coming from Loudly? Free, open-source and local, with vocals and instrumentals. It is the model inside Song Creator Pro, so you can run it yourself at no cost if you are prepared to handle Python, CUDA and updates.
Pros
- Free and open source, with no licence fee at all
- Runs entirely on your own hardware
- Strong remix, edit and cover capabilities
Cons
- You have to set up Python 3.11 or 3.12, uv, GPU drivers and model weights yourself
- The bundled Gradio web UI is a developer tool rather than a polished app
- No support, and troubleshooting means reading GitHub issues
- Keeping up with model updates is manual work
| Plan | Price |

| Open source | Free |
Round by round
Song Creator Pro vs Loudly
Six categories, each with a winner.
Producer controls for instrumentals
Winner: LoudlyLoudly lets you set genre, subgenre, key, BPM, exact duration, energy, instruments and song structure before you generate, then pull stems and samples, add FX, master the result and spin remixes, all without leaving the browser. For a producer who wants a loop in F minor at 128 BPM, or an editor who needs exactly 47 seconds, that is a tighter brief than a text prompt. Song Creator Pro gives you seeds, batch runs and partial regeneration, but it has no sample generator, no mastering stage and no length slider tied to an edit.
Getting a track onto streaming services
Winner: LoudlyLoudly has its own distribution service. Monthly plans include Distro Basic for up to 20 releases a month, and annual plans include Distro Plus, with 100 percent payout on streaming royalties and up to 200 releases a month. For someone who wants to push AI tracks to Spotify with minimal paperwork, that is genuinely convenient. Song Creator Pro allows you to release what you make, but leaves the distributor, the metadata and the upload to you.
Songs with vocals
Winner: Song Creator ProLoudly's generator produces instrumental music, and its own copy suggests adding vocals in your DAW. Song Creator Pro writes and sings complete songs from your lyrics, in more than 50 languages through ACE-Step 1.5 and in English and Mandarin through YuE2 at 48 kHz stereo, and can remix a song you already have into a different style while keeping the melody.
Who controls the rights
Winner: Song Creator ProLoudly states that it retains the copyright to Loudly music and grants you commercial rights according to your plan. Personal covers your own social channels, livestreams and podcasts. Ads, client work, apps and games need Pro. Streaming releases must go through Loudly Distribution. Song Creator Pro includes one commercial licence with the purchase, makes no claim on what you generate, and does not tie your releases to a particular distributor.
Cost over time
Winner: Song Creator ProLoudly Pro is $30 a month, or $288 a year billed annually, and Pro is the tier you need for client work. Over three years that is $864 on annual billing or $1,080 month to month. Song Creator Pro is $49.99 on the Microsoft Store or $44.99 on itch.io, once, with no credits, no add-on packs and future updates included. It pays for itself against Loudly Pro in about two months.
Privacy and offline use
Winner: Song Creator ProLoudly is a cloud service tied to an account, and every prompt and render passes through its servers. Song Creator Pro runs on your own GPU with no account and no network connection, so unreleased client work never leaves your PC, and the app keeps working whatever happens to any company's plans.
The verdict
Conclusion
Loudly is one of the most complete instrumental toolkits in AI music. Key, BPM, duration and structure controls, two VEGA models, stems, samples, mastering, an API and a built-in distributor make it a serious tool for video creators and producers who want starting points, and its prices are fair for what you get on the annual plans.
The limits are structural. It does not sing. Generation runs on monthly credits. The licence changes with the plan, so client work, apps and ads need Pro. Loudly keeps the copyright, and streaming releases go through its own distribution service or not at all.
Song Creator Pro takes the other path. It is a Windows app that runs ACE-Step 1.5 and YuE2 on your own GPU for $49.99 once, writes full songs with vocals or instrumentals, exports MP3, WAV and FLAC with no limits, separates stems with four models and works offline with no account. It lacks Loudly's mastering, sample tools and distributor, and it needs a decent GPU. If you want an instrumental studio in the browser, Loudly is good at that. If you want songs and want them to stay yours, buy the generator once.
Frequently Asked Questions
For songs with vocals and no subscription, Song Creator Pro at $49.99 runs locally on Windows. For like-for-like instrumental beds, Soundraw, Beatoven.ai or Mubert. For built-in streaming distribution, Boomy. For vocals in the browser, Suno or ElevenLabs Music. For free, Google Flow Music.
At the time of writing Loudly has a free plan, Personal at $10 a month or $8 a month billed annually ($96 a year) with 2,500 credits, and Pro at $30 a month or $24 a month billed annually ($288 a year) with 10,000 credits. Personal tracks run up to 7 minutes and Pro tracks up to 30. Both paid plans include MP3 and WAV downloads.
Loudly's generator is built around instrumental music, with controls for genre, key, BPM, structure and instruments. It does not take your lyrics and sing them. Its own pages suggest taking tracks into a DAW to add vocals. For AI-sung vocals, look at Song Creator Pro, Suno or ElevenLabs Music.
Loudly does. Its pricing FAQ says it retains the copyright to Loudly music while granting you commercial rights, citing the unsettled state of copyright law for AI-generated music. What you are allowed to do depends on your plan: Personal covers your own social channels and podcasts, and Pro adds ads, client work, apps, websites and games.
Yes, but only through Loudly Distribution. Monthly subscribers get Distro Basic, with up to 20 releases a month, and annual subscribers get Distro Plus, with 100 percent payout on streaming royalties and up to 200 releases a month. You cannot take a Loudly track to another distributor such as DistroKid.
There is a free plan, but it is a trial in practice: limited creations, 30-second previews, one download a day, basic-quality MP3 and non-commercial use for a single social channel, with no distribution. Commercial use starts on Personal.
Song Creator Pro is a one-time purchase of $49.99 on the Microsoft Store, with a free trial, or $44.99 on itch.io, with unlimited generation, a commercial licence and future updates included. ACE-Step and YuE2 are free open-source models if you are willing to set them up yourself.
It runs on Windows. An NVIDIA or AMD GPU gives the best speed, and YuE2 runs on 8 GB NVIDIA or AMD cards. ACE-Step 1.5 also supports AMD and Intel GPUs through DirectML, and CPU-only machines, at slower speeds.
