Soundraw offers 7 pricing tiers: Creator, Artist Starter, Artist Pro, Artist Unlimited, API Plan, Academic, Enterprise. Standard paid plans include Creator at $16.99/month, Artist Starter at $39.99/month, Artist Pro at $59.99/month. The Artist Starter plan is independent musicians and producers releasing tracks to streaming platforms.
Compared to other ai music generators software, Soundraw is positioned at the budget-friendly price point.
Soundraw is an AI-powered music generation platform that enables content creators, musicians, and businesses to create fully customizable, royalty-free music. Founded as one of the pioneering AI music tools, Soundraw uses artificial intelligence to generate instrumental tracks that users can edit in real-time by adjusting tempo, instruments, energy, and length.
Soundraw pricing is split into two product lines: Creator plans for background music ($16.99/month or $11.04/month annual) with unlimited downloads, and Artist plans ($29.99-$49.99/month annual) for musicians distributing to streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. A key differentiator is Soundraw's perpetual licensing - once you download a track, it remains licensed forever even after cancellation.
The platform is instrumental-only, meaning it does not generate vocals or lyrics. This makes it ideal for content creators, YouTubers, podcasters, filmmakers, and producers seeking customizable background music and beats, but less suitable for those needing complete songs with vocals.

API access starts at $500/month for companies.
02 Does Soundraw have a free plan?
Soundraw has a limited free plan that allows you to generate and edit music within the platform, but you cannot download tracks. The free version is for exploration only - downloading and using music commercially requires a paid subscription starting at $11.04/month (annual billing).
03 What's the difference between Creator and Artist plans?
Creator plan ($16.99/month or $11.04/month annual) is for background music in content like YouTube videos, podcasts, and ads. Artist plans ($29.99-$49.99/month annual) allow distribution on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music with 100% recording royalty ownership. Artist plans also include stems (Pro and Unlimited) for professional mixing.
04 Can I keep my music if I cancel my Soundraw subscription?
Yes, Soundraw offers perpetual licensing. Any music you download while subscribed remains licensed for commercial use forever, even after you cancel. This applies to both Creator and Artist plans, making it a strong value proposition compared to competitors.
05 Is annual billing cheaper than monthly?
Yes, annual billing saves up to 67% compared to monthly. Creator drops from $16.99 to $11.04/month, Artist Starter from $39.99 to $29.99/month, Artist Pro from $59.99 to $35.99/month, and Artist Unlimited from $99.99 to $49.99/month with annual billing.
06 What file formats does Soundraw provide?
Creator and Artist Starter provide MP3 only. Artist Pro and Artist Unlimited include WAV, MP3, and STEMS (individual instrument tracks). STEMS are essential for professional producers who want full control over mixing and mastering their tracks.
07 Can I use Soundraw music on YouTube and monetize it?
Yes, the Creator plan ($11.04-$16.99/month) includes full commercial rights for background music on YouTube, social media, ads, films, and client work. You can monetize your content without additional fees or licensing concerns.
08 How does Soundraw pricing compare to competitors?
Soundraw's Creator at $16.99/month is above the AI music generator average of $8/month, but includes unlimited downloads. Compared to Beatoven.ai ($6/month for 15 minutes), Musicfy ($9/month), and Suno (50 free daily credits), Soundraw is more expensive but offers perpetual licensing. The main trade-off: Soundraw is instrumental-only with no vocal generation.
09 What are the download limits on Artist plans?
Artist Starter allows 10 downloads/month, Artist Pro allows 20 downloads/month, and Artist Unlimited has no download limits. Unused downloads do not roll over to the next month. Each plan includes perpetual licensing on downloaded tracks.
10 Does Soundraw offer student or nonprofit discounts?
Soundraw offers an Academic Plan with custom pricing for schools, universities, and e-learning platforms with bulk account arrangements and VIP support. Individual student discounts are not available. Nonprofit discounts are not mentioned and would require contacting sales.
11 What is Soundraw's API pricing?
Soundraw API starts at $500/month for up to 1,000 song generations. Companies like Canva, Captions, and CyberLink have integrated Soundraw's API. Startups can access special pricing by contacting sales. Custom limits are available for larger enterprises needing more than 1,000 generations monthly.
12 Do I need to credit Soundraw in my music?
Yes, Artist plans require you to provide credit to Soundraw on jackets, labels, metadata, or any promotional materials related to your songs distributed to streaming platforms. Creator plan (background music) does not have strict attribution requirements for most use cases.
13 Can I use Soundraw for major film and TV productions?
For your own productions, yes. However, synchronization in major film/TV productions you don't own requires additional clearance from Soundraw beyond the standard subscription. Contact Soundraw directly for licensing terms for major productions.
14 What hidden costs should I expect with Soundraw?
Hidden costs include: no refunds on annual plans, unused downloads don't roll over, major film/TV sync requires additional clearance fees, one device at a time limitation, and required attribution credit for Artist plans. No implementation fees or overage charges for standard plans.
15 Is Soundraw worth it compared to stock music libraries?
Soundraw's unlimited generation and perpetual licensing make it cost-effective for high-volume creators compared to per-track stock music ($20-50/track). For creators needing 5+ tracks monthly, Soundraw at $11.04/month (annual) offers better ROI than traditional stock libraries. However, stock music may offer more polished, radio-ready production quality.
