Udio pricing for AI music generation
A clear look at Udio's free and paid music generation tiers
Creating studio-quality music from text prompts
Great At
- High-fidelity music generation from prompts
- Unique evolving compositions
- Quick prototyping of musical ideas
- Studio-quality audio output
Not The Best For
- Heavy daily production (free tier too limited)
- Precise genre-specific fine-tuning
- Real-time live generation needs
Impressive audio quality that rivals human production. The free tier is a solid test drive, but serious use requires Standard or Pro.

🎶 Free Plan: Yes - 100 credits per month, 10/day limit
Udio offers a free tier so you can test the quality before committing. The main limitation is the 10 generation/day cap, which makes it more of a try-before-you-buy experience than a daily driver.
🔍 What Are Credits?
Each generation (creating a new track from a prompt) costs 1 credit. Extending or remixing existing tracks also costs credits. The Free tier gives 100 total credits per month, while Standard bumps to 2,400 and Pro to 6,000. Unused credits do not roll over.
