FAQ

What's the difference between Suno and Udio?

Both generate full songs (vocals included) from text prompts and both run freemium. Suno sits in more stacks for total volume; Udio trends with listeners chasing audio fidelity — we track both side-by-side in our Suno vs Udio comparison.

I just need background instrumental music

Brain.fm (paid) targets focus music rather than song generation — a different job. Musicful and OpenMusic AI cover instrumental generation on freemium tiers.

Can I use AI-generated music commercially?

Commercial rights depend on each tool's paid tier — check the plan terms before shipping a track into a product or ad.
