There was a warning because music was used without the creator having the necessary license. And the sums involved were sometimes as high as €25,000.
Wouldn’t it be a dream if you could create cool sounds that fit the theme with just a few clicks and without having to worry about licenses, etc.?
If you now think that AI is the perfect solution, then we have to disappoint you (at least partially).
Because unlike AI image generators or AI text generators, you also have to read the license terms for music generators and look closely at what price you have to pay to get which rights.
Nevertheless, AI music generators can offer a good alternative to traditional music libraries. In this article, we present you the eight best and most popular tools.
What is an AI Music Generator?
An AI music generator (or AI sound generator) is an online tool or software that can generate pieces of music, jingles and melodies using artificial intelligence.
It varies from tool to tool what input you can provide and what parameters you can set.
How Good are AI Music Generators?
AI music generators have become so good today that you can no longer tell whether some pieces were composed by a human or by an AI.
However, this depends heavily on the underlying model. Moreover, not every tool offers such high-quality output.
Creating prompts (text commands) for pieces of music is also sometimes a bit trickier than with AI text generators or AI image generators.
Nevertheless, with many of the tools, even beginners can achieve pretty good results in just a few steps, which is really impressive.
AI Music Generators & Licenses
If you have already dealt with AI music generators, you may have noticed that the licenses and copyrights are (unfortunately) much more restrictive than with AI lyrics or AI images.
The copyright often remains with the platform on which the piece of music was generated. As a user, you only receive limited usage rights, which are more or less restricted depending on the tool and your subscription.
For example, all of the AI music tools we tested prohibit commercializing the music, so you can’t upload it to Spotify or Apple Music.
Some platforms also do not allow the use of music in videos that are intended only as an accompaniment to a piece of music. This includes videos with still images and meditation videos.
You should also check beforehand whether music can be used for sponsored or advertising videos, as AI music tools handle this very differently.

Here is a Detailed Description of the Best AI Music Generators in 2025
To rank the AI music generators, we looked at many different criteria, such as music quality, musical variety, usability, price-performance ratio and how restrictive or generous the licenses are.
Below, you will find all AI music tools sorted by their test results:
Mubert
Mubert is the AI music generator with the best music quality and currently the only generator where you can also enter a prompt (command) to have a piece of music composed.
This didn’t work so well in May 2023 when we first tested Mubert, but it’s getting better and better now. Similar to ChatGPT, you have to experiment a bit with the prompts to get the desired result.
Alternatively, you can choose a genre, mood or activities. Mubert offers a huge selection. There are pieces of music in 80 different genres:
Unfortunately, Mubert doesn’t allow you to make any further changes after you’ve created the song. If you don’t like the piece, you can’t adjust it, but have to generate a new piece.
You will be suggested some similar tracks that you can download directly:
3.2 ecrett music
Ecrett is the tool that performs best in terms of licenses in our AI music generator comparison, as it offers a very generous license for a small price and at the same time makes creating music easy and offers many setting options.
You can use music that you create on ecrett for $4.99 per month (as an annual subscription) for all your social media and YouTube projects – including monetized ones. However, the license is only valid for you personally; if you have a company, you need the business subscription, which costs $10 more per month.
The interface for creating music is clear and yet offers many possibilities:
First, you select scene, mood and genre in the window at the top left. This will then create a piece that you can then adjust.
Below you can see the different sections of the piece of music, as well as the different components. Here you can adjust everything.
Once you are satisfied, you can save, download, rename or delete the piece completely in the window at the top right.
Soundful
Soundful also offers many options to create and customize songs according to your needs.
For currently only $2.50 per month (as an annual subscription) you can use the songs for social media, online platforms, your own websites and also for advertising.
To create a song, you first choose a genre and then a subcategory. You can then adjust the speed and pitch.
One advantage of soundful over ecrett is that you can buy the copyright for a song for $49.99 if you need to. If you do this, you can use the song without taking out a subscription and you also have the right to upload and market the song yourself on music platforms.
Boomy
Boomy costs $9.99 per month for the Creator subscription. However, it is not that easy to personalize a song with Boomy and change it to your own liking.
To create a song, you first select a category on Boomy:
To then define a subcategory:
The song is now created. You can then swap or move sections of the song or select or deselect different instruments. It is also possible to add background noises such as birds chirping.
Overall, however, the editing is not quite as intuitive as with Ecrett or Soundful.
Songs created with Boomy can also be used for advertising and sponsored videos.
Beatoven.ai
Beatoven is particularly interesting because you can do a lot with the free version. However, downloads are only available with a subscription. For $30 a year, you can download 15 minutes of music per month.
With Beatoven you also first choose a genre:
And then sets the mood:
Now the song is created, you can adjust the tempo and instruments.
Soundraw
Soundraw is the most expensive AI music generator in comparison: you pay over $16 per month if you choose the annual plan.
Soundraw offers a clear platform and a very generous license: If you have a subscription, you can use the songs for any purpose, as long as the music itself is not the product.
To create a song, you first select a mood in Soundraw and set the length and tempo:
SOUNDRAW then composes several pieces that fit these parameters and you can make adjustments to the individual pieces:
AIVA
With AIVA you can generate music that you can then use for videos on social networks such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook. If you want to use the music outside of these platforms, you have to take out the Pro subscription, which costs €33 per month (annual subscription).
With the standard subscription for €11 per month (annual subscription) you can download 15 tracks per month and the copyright remains with AIVA. With the Pro subscription you can download 300 tracks per month and also become the copyright owner.
To create a song in AIVA, you first select a preset:
In addition, length, instruments and speed can be specified:
Once the song has been created, you have the option to adjust and change it later in the Piano Roll:
Evoke Music
Evoke Music is not a classic music generator, but a library that provides pieces of music generated using AI.
Here, you will find ready-composed pieces that you cannot adjust afterward.
4. What makes a good AI music generator?
4.1 Generous licenses
As mentioned above, music is, unfortunately, much more difficult than images generated by AI. All platforms on which music can be generated artificially usually retain the copyright to the generated music and only a few platforms even offer the option of purchasing it.
Why?
The platforms want to prevent the generated music from being monetized and downloaded from the Internet.
The license terms do say that they want to protect the user (so that not everyone can use the sounds they create), but ultimately, it’s more about not losing control over the sounds they create.
Since the copyright remains with the platform, it is extremely important to be well informed about what you are allowed to do with the downloaded music.
We haven’t found a platform that allows you to use the music for commercial projects without a subscription or a free trial period. So if you’re an influencer, blogger or content creator and not only friends can access your profiles, you’ll inevitably have to take out a subscription so that you can use the music publicly.
There are also differences in the context in which you can use these pieces of music:
With providers with generous licenses, you can use the music for many purposes. With providers with restrictive licenses, certain areas are excluded and only covered with a more expensive subscription (this often involves the question of whether a video should be monetized, for example).
So think carefully in advance about what you want to use the music for and then choose a provider that covers exactly these areas.
4.2 Easy operation
The operation of the AI music generators is also a big factor in our ranking. Even at first glance you can see that there are big differences between the various platforms.
The platforms that have been ranked best here are those on which you can not only easily create a melody on a specific topic, but can also change and adapt it later with little effort.
5. FAQ
Here, I have compiled answers to frequently asked questions about AI music generators:
What types of music can I use AI music generators for?
AI music generators can be used for various purposes, such as:
- background music for videos and podcasts
- intros and outros
- Creating a harmonious playlist for an event
- Music for Apps
However, you should check with each provider separately whether the respective application purposes are permitted and which subscription you need to take out for them.
Do AI music generators violate copyright?
The music based on which the AI music generators generate new sounds is provided by the platform. Musicians and composers often work on the AI models and “feed” them with music.
Theoretically, pieces of music may be used for which the developers do not have a license.
