Udio

Udio generates songs from prompts describing a style, mood, or theme, with vocal generation and audio upload listed among its capabilities. Each prompt creates two songs, with listed clip lengths of 32 seconds or 2 minutes 10 seconds. Creation tools include sliders and fields for adjusting tracks, experimenting, and producing variations. The library provides search, filters, favorites, playlists, and a trash bin for recovering deleted songs, and its player can share songs. Paid subscribers can upload audio to extend, inpaint, remix, stylize, or edit it in a waveform-based Session editor; uploaders must own the audio rights, and commercial or copyrighted tracks are not allowed. Udio is available on the web and iOS, but its iOS app does not support uploading, remixing, inpainting, styling, or searching by song title. Downloads of audio, video, and stems are disabled. Plans include a free option, Standard at $10.00 per month, and Pro at $30.00 per month. A seven-day Standard trial is available; an uncanceled trial is charged at the annual price unless changed to monthly.

Udio combines prompt-based song generation with library tools and paid audio editing on supported plans. Compare the free credit limits and paid plan allowances, and take care with the trial’s billing terms.

Udio suits people looking to generate songs from text prompts on the web or iOS. Those considering the iOS app should note its listed creation limitations, and prospective trial users should check the billing terms.

Udio is a prompt-driven song generator with vocal creation and tools for reshaping audio. It suits creators developing short song ideas who can work in a browser or on iPhone. Its generation and library tools are useful, but disabled downloads and no stem export limit its role in finished production.

Overview

Describe a style, mood, or theme and each prompt produces two songs. You can generate clips of 32 seconds or 2 minutes 10 seconds, which is also the maximum track length. That range works for trying compact ideas, while creators needing longer songs in a single generation will hit the ceiling quickly.

The Create page provides sliders and fields for refining tracks and generating variations. Search, filters, favorites, playlists, and a trash bin help keep a growing library in order, and the player can share songs. Together, these features make Udio more useful for iterating on ideas than a generator with no tools for managing its output.

Key features

Udio supports vocals and audio uploads. Paid subscribers can extend, inpaint, remix, stylize, or edit uploaded audio in a waveform-centric Session editor, giving them several ways to work with source material. Uploads must be audio the user owns; commercial and copyrighted tracks are not allowed.

The iPhone app supports track extension, but not audio uploading, remixing, inpainting, styling, or searching for songs by title. That makes the app a narrower companion to the web workflow. Udio has no Android app, and downloads of audio, video, and stems are disabled. With no stem export either, creators who need files for production outside Udio should look elsewhere.

Pricing

The free plan is a sensible way to try generation, but its credit caps and daily song limit constrain regular use. Standard is the lower-cost paid option for creators who want a larger monthly allowance. Pro suits heavier users who can make use of its higher credit cap and simultaneous generation. Both paid plans are monthly; the stated allowances are credits, so the plan names alone do not tell you how many finished songs they will yield.

One free Standard trial lasts up to seven days and does not add credits or raise the cap of three 2-minute songs per day. Cancel before it ends or change it to monthly: otherwise, Udio says it charges the annual price. That billing condition matters for anyone trying the service before choosing a subscription.

Platforms

Udio is available on the web and iPhone. Google, Discord, X, Apple, and email are supported for account signup. The iPhone app's missing upload and editing functions make the web the better choice for paid audio work; Android users cannot use a Udio app.

Who it's for

Udio is best suited to people exploring vocal song ideas, generating short clips, and organizing or sharing them in a library. Paid users who own audio they want to reshape may also value the Session editor. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs downloadable audio or stems, longer single generations, or a complete mobile editing workflow.

Pros and cons

• Each prompt yields two songs, with adjustable controls and variations for exploring a direction.
• Library search, filters, playlists, favorites, and recovery from the trash bin support ongoing idea development.
• Paid audio tools cover extension, inpainting, remixing, styling, and waveform editing.

Cons

• Downloads of audio, video, and stems are disabled, and stem export is unavailable, limiting use in external production.
• The maximum track length is 2 minutes 10 seconds.
• The iPhone app lacks upload, remix, inpainting, styling, and title search; there is no Android app.
• The trial keeps the usual credit limits and can renew at the annual price if not canceled or changed to monthly.

Verdict

Choose Udio if you want to develop short, vocal song ideas with prompt controls, a useful library, and paid tools for reshaping audio you own. Its free tier makes exploration accessible, but the track ceiling, narrow iPhone workflow, and disabled downloads make it a poor choice for anyone who needs exportable material or a production-ready mobile app.
