There is a free trial, but no permanent free tier. AI Music is available only on paid plans — AI Suite, Artlist Max, Max Business and Enterprise — which also unlock the rest of the toolkit and a commercial license.

Can I use the music commercially and do I own it?

Music is royalty-free forever and cleared for commercial use under clear Terms of Use. Artlist does not claim ownership of what you generate, and where permitted by law you retain the rights. Licensing and ownership rules vary by territory, so review the current terms.

What inputs and controls are available?

Start from a text prompt or up to ten image prompts, with reference image and video input so a track feels composed for your footage. You get full song composition over intros, verses, choruses and endings, and a Standard mode or an AI Agent chat mode.

What genres, languages and lengths are supported?

Any genre from cinematic scores to pop, instrumental or vocals with clear lyrics in any major language, with durations from a 30-second clip up to a full 3-minute song.

How is it different from Artlist's stock music catalog?

The stock catalog is curated music created by real artists and cleared for professional use. The AI music generator creates original tracks from your prompts. Both come with clear licenses inside the same platform, so you can mix approaches per project.

How long can tracks be?

Generated tracks run from 30 seconds up to about 3 minutes with Lyria 3 Pro. That suits most video and social use, but is shorter than some standalone generators that offer longer songs.

How it works

Prompt to cleared track

Inside the AI Toolkit — no technical complexity, commercial-ready out.

Open the toolkit

Pick the AI Music tool in the Artlist AI Toolkit — Standard mode for control, or AI Agent chat mode.

Prompt it

Describe mood, genre, tempo and language, or feed up to 10 image prompts so the track fits your footage.

Generate & ship

Lyria 3 Pro composes a 30-second to 3-minute song. Refine, then export — royalty-free and commercial-cleared.

The whole point

Cleared to publish, by design

Most generators leave licensing fuzzy. Artlist's pitch is clearance: music is royalty-free forever and cleared for commercial use under clear Terms of Use, Artlist doesn't claim ownership of what you make, and where permitted by law you keep the rights — built for global campaigns, social and commercial film.

Licensing & the honest limits

Royalty-free forever, commercial-cleared, Artlist doesn't claim ownership. Be clear-eyed: there's no permanent free tier (paid plans only, premium-priced), tracks cap around 3 minutes, ownership depends on territory, and it's a creative assistant for video — not a replacement for high-end music production.

Honest comparison

Where Artlist wins — and where it doesn't

Premium clearance and an ecosystem, but paid-only and shorter tracks. None is best at everything.

What users say

Real reactions, mixed ones included

★★★★★

"Lyria 3 Pro quality is the real thing, and having it cleared for client campaigns in the same place as my stock and video tools removed a whole licensing headache."

— agency editor

★★★★★

"Feeding reference frames and getting a track that matched the footage's mood was genuinely impressive for fast turnarounds."

— filmmaker

★★★★☆

"Quality and licensing are top-tier, but there's no real free tier, it's a premium subscription, and 3-minute max is short for longer pieces."

— creator, mixed review

The honest take

Premium clearance, in an ecosystem

Artlist AI Music, from artlist.io, bets on two things: Google Lyria 3 / Lyria 3 Pro quality, and airtight licensing inside one toolkit with video, image, voice and a stock catalog. For pros who can't risk fuzzy rights on a client campaign, that clearance-plus-ecosystem framing genuinely matters.

It isn't for everyone, and pretending otherwise wouldn't help you. There's no permanent free tier — AI Music sits behind paid plans (AI Suite, Max, Max Business, Enterprise), and Artlist is a premium-priced ecosystem. Tracks cap at about 3 minutes, shorter than standalone generators offering up to 8; ownership depends on territory and law ("where permitted"), not an unconditional grant; and Artlist itself frames the tool as a creative assistant for video workflows, not a replacement for high-end music production.

What it nails: top-tier model quality plus the cleanest commercial-clearance story in the category, bundled with a full creative toolkit.

Read that way, Artlist AI is a premium, clearance-first music engine for professional video teams — best when licensing certainty and an integrated ecosystem outweigh price or track length.
