Udio

Udio is an AI music creation service for generating and refining songs. Creators can start from a prompt, use audio as guidance, remix or extend existing work, edit music and lyrics, and apply voice controls. Udio’s current help documentation describes Free, Standard, and Pro usage through monthly and daily credits, plus a one-time Standard subscription trial. The service’s current partnership notice also says downloads of audio, video, and stems are disabled, so export availability must be checked before use.

✨ Key Features

• Prompt-based song generation — Describe a style or song idea and create new musical clips.
• Audio-guided generation — Upload audio and use it to guide song creation or continuation on supported accounts.
• Extend and remix — Extend existing songs or create a new version from an existing track.
• Audio inpainting and editing — Regenerate a selected section to correct a vocal line, smooth a transition, or refine surrounding audio.
• Voice Control — Adjust voice-related generation controls during the subscription trial and paid workflows.
• Music and lyrics editing — Refine the words and musical result after generation.
• Style references — Use an existing song as a style reference where supported.
• Custom cover art and avatars — Add custom visual assets to songs on subscription workflows.
• Concurrent generation — Free and trial users have lower creation limits; Pro supports up to five sets of songs (10 songs) at once according to the current help notice.
• Credits and limits — Free accounts receive daily and monthly credit limits; Standard and Pro receive larger monthly allowances.

💳 Pricing

• Free — Free access with 10 daily credits plus an additional monthly limit of 100 credits. Free accounts are limited to three 130-second songs per day, and credits do not roll over.
• Subscription trial — One-time, up-to-7-day trial of a subset of Standard features, with no increased credit limit and no Pro trial. If not canceled before the trial ends, an annual subscription is charged in full by default unless the creator previously switches the billing period to monthly.
• Standard — Subscription plan with up to 2,400 credits/month in the current help documentation. The reviewed public pricing page did not expose a stable current price.
• Pro — Subscription plan with up to 6,000 credits/month and up to five simultaneous song sets; the reviewed public pricing page did not expose a stable current price.
• Add-on credits — Credits can be purchased separately and do not expire, but the help center says they require an active subscription to use.

Pricing note — Credits are consumed by Create, Extend, Remix, Inpaint, and Edit operations. Current Udio partnership documentation says downloading audio, video, and stems is disabled; confirm the latest account capability and rights before planning an external release.
