What Udio is best for
High-fidelity, detailed AI song generation. Prompt-driven exploration of styles and vocals. Creating within a licensed music environment.
How to use Udio
Enter a text prompt describing style, mood, and lyrics, or supply your own, and generate, with short generations costing a handful of credits on a daily free cap. Because output is increasingly stream-only inside a licensed environment, verify current download and commercial terms before relying on tracks.
How it behaves
Credit-metered with a free daily cap. Following a series of 2025 and 2026 label licensing deals, it shifted to a stream-first model where users can stream creations but downloads are limited. The material change was to output rights, not tier prices.
Tips
Check current download and commercial terms before you rely on a track. Use the daily free credits to explore styles. Supply your own lyrics for control.
Pricing
Free tier with a monthly credit allowance and daily cap. Standard is $10/mo and Pro is $30/mo, each roughly 20% cheaper billed annually.
