If you're looking for a Udio alternative, it's almost certainly because of downloads. Udio switched them off for every user on October 30, 2025, after its settlement with Universal, and they were still off when we checked. You can make and share songs inside Udio, but you can't take them out to release.
The closest alternative is Suno: the same kind of full-song generator, singing your own lyrics, with downloads on paid plans. If licensing matters most, ElevenLabs Music. If you want free and unlimited, Treblo. The full table below covers every option, checked against each company's own pages on the date at the top.
We build Session Sheet, a prompt studio for Suno that also converts prompts for Mureka, Udio and Google Flow Music. It doesn't make music, so it isn't on this list, and we're not neutral about Suno: every claim here is a fact you can check at the source.
Why people are leaving Udio
Udio still runs, still sells Standard ($10 a month) and Pro ($30) plans, and settled with Universal in October 2025 and Warner in November 2025. Its licence covers playing and sharing songs in Udio. With downloads off, there's no release use. A licensed relaunch was announced for 2026; as of our check date it hadn't arrived.
If you only make songs for yourself and share them inside Udio, nothing has to change. If you want to release, you need somewhere else.
The closest alternatives for full songs
Suno works the way Udio users expect: your lyrics with section tags, a style prompt, an Exclude list, Extend, Replace Section, Cover and stems. Songs run up to eight minutes a generation. Paid plans download 20 songs a month on Pro ($8 billed yearly) and 60 on Premier, and commercial use covers songs downloaded within that allowance. There are no downloads on Free.
ElevenLabs Music is licensed with Merlin, Kobalt and Believe, makes songs up to five minutes, and regenerates one section while keeping the rest. Paid plans from $6 a month download MP3 or WAV, up to a monthly limit in minutes; commercial use excludes film, TV, radio and games below Enterprise.
Mureka lets you upload a reference track or hum a melody on its Pro plan, which also adds WAV and stem downloads, and its site claims full commercial rights.
Google Flow Music, what Riffusion became, edits songs by conversation, with covers, section replacement and stems, from $6 a month billed yearly. Downloads are on every plan, Free included, but commercial use isn't spelled out beyond Google's general terms, so read them first.
Mozart AI downloads are unlimited on every plan, and it has a browser DAW to split and edit the song. Commercial use needs a paid plan.
Tad AI includes a commercial download licence on every plan, at $7.99 for up to 50 songs a month.
Free Udio alternatives
Treblo, formerly Sonauto, makes unlimited songs with vocals with no credits, and downloads are included. 
ACE-Step is an open-weight song model you run on your own GPU, in under 4 GB of video memory; check the model licence before you release.
Moving your Udio prompts
You don't have to start from scratch. A Udio prompt and lyrics carry over to Suno with a few changes: genre and production words first, the vocal described in its own sentence, negatives moved to Exclude, and a bracketed cue on every section header. Paste one into our free prompt upgrader to clean it into Suno v6 form, and the Styles checker flags what v6 trips on. Going the other way, the prompt converter rewrites a Suno prompt for Mureka or Flow Music.
