AIVA
Generates instrumental music from style presets and influence uploads for video, game and content creators, exporting MP3 and MIDI on lower tiers and WAV plus all formats on Pro.
- Up to
- 330 seconds
- Resolution
- MP3 and MIDI on Free and Standard; WAV high quality and all formats on Pro
- Weights
- Not released
- Commercial use
- The vendor keeps the copyright
Its distinguishing feature is that copyright ownership is explicitly tied to the plan: AIVA keeps the copyright on Free and Standard, and only Pro transfers it to the user.
AIVA publishes a per-tier ownership matrix. On Free and Standard the copyright is AIVA's and monetisation is either barred or limited to four social platforms. Only Pro assigns copyright to you.
Who owns the output: depends on your plan tier
- Depends on your plan tier. Free and Standard plans: copyright owned by AIVA. Pro plan: copyright owned by you.
- Attribution required. Free plan requires crediting AIVA.

Where the sources disagree
Recorded rather than resolved. Picking the tidier number would hide the fact that the vendor's own pages do not agree.
- No model version, release date, sample rate or API documentation was found on AIVA's pricing page; those fields are null.

Shotcraft hosts no sample output. Judging a model means watching its own showreel with your own eyes, and a clip re-hosted here would be a clip we chose.
