Mubert
Generates royalty-free AI music from text prompts, images or a taxonomy of 200+ moods and themes, sold as a consumer 'Render' subscription and as a developer API with per-generation and streaming-minute quotas.
- Resolution
- High quality on Trial; lossless on Startup and above (formats and sample rates not documented)
- Weights
- Not released
- API
- Yes
- Commercial use
- The vendor's own terms contradict each other
Higher API tiers add webhooks, lossless output and access to a curated library of 12,000+ tracks. Each download comes with a licence certificate tied to the purchased plan.
Mubert's site footer says AI-generated music is owned by Mubert and licensed for personal use only, while its API plan page says all API plans include monetised-content licensing. These cannot both be read as governing. Read the certificate shipped with your plan.
Who owns the output: the vendor, by their own terms
- May not be released on streaming platforms. Tracks on all plans are not licensed for Content ID, standalone release on streaming platforms, or stock music sites.
- Depends on your plan tier. Each download includes a licence certificate for your plan.

All API plans include monetised-content licensing and sub-licensing rights. Consumer Render subscription prices could not be retrieved - the pricing page is JavaScript-rendered.
- Released or updated
- not established
Maximum duration is not established here. That means no page we could retrieve stated it, not that the model lacks one.
Strengths
- Clear per-generation API quotas and published API prices
- Sub-licensing rights on API plans, useful for embedding in a product
- Image-to-music as well as text-to-music
- Curated library alongside generation on higher tiers
- Long-standing generative-audio API
Weaknesses
- Mubert retains ownership; the footer describes the licence as personal use only, contradicting the monetisation claims
- No Content ID, streaming release or stock resale on any plan
- API entry price is high at $49/month for 100 generations
- Consumer Render pricing not retrievable
- No documented track length, sample rate or output format
- Non-refundable purchases
Best for
- Apps, games and streams needing continuous generated background music via API
- Products that need sub-licensing rights
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.
- The site footer says generated music is 'licensed by Mubert Inc only for personal use' while the API plans page says all plans include monetised-content and sub-licensing rights. Unresolved - check the licence certificate for your plan.
- Consumer Render plan prices and track limits could not be verified because mubert.com/render/pricing is JavaScript-rendered.

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.
