Soundraw is an AI music generator for royalty-free instrumental tracks. You choose a genre and mood, then use a browser mixer to switch instruments on and off and adjust intensity, tempo and length before downloading. The Creator plan targets background music for videos, podcasts and social posts, while Artist plans add beats to build songs on, with WAV and stems on higher tiers. Soundraw says its AI is trained only on music made in-house.
Soundraw is an AI music generator for royalty-free instrumental tracks. You choose a genre and mood, then adjust instruments, intensity, tempo and length in a browser mixer before downloading. The Creator plan is listed at $16.99 a month on yearly billing with unlimited mp3 downloads for background music, and Artist plans start at $29.99 a month, with WAV and stems on higher tiers. Paid plans allow commercial use including YouTube and Twitch monetization, but registering tracks with Content ID is not allowed. Soundraw says tracks downloaded and used while subscribed stay usable after you cancel, except music channels, lo-fi and meditation content and hold music. Prices on Soundraw's own pages disagree, no free plan is described on the pricing page, and refunds are limited to one week after renewal with no downloads since. A straightforward pick for background music with a clear license, and a weaker fit for anyone who wants AI vocals or a free plan. This review is based on Soundraw's official pages; no first-hand testing is claimed.
Rating: 3.6/5 · Pricing: Creator from $16.99/month billed yearly; Artist plans from $29.99/month
Soundraw has a Try for free link that leads to the generator, but its pricing page lists only paid plans and describes no free plan or trial. Its terms mention a Free Plan that covers a portion of the service. We could not confirm what it includes, so test the generator before paying.
Soundraw's licensing guide lists Creator at $16.99 a month and Artist plans at $29.99, $35.99 and about $50 a month, all on yearly billing. The Creator plan page shows $19.99 on monthly billing. The pricing page also shows lower figures such as $11.04 for Creator without labeling them, so confirm the checkout total.
Yes. Soundraw says paid plans allow commercial use, including monetizing YouTube and Twitch content. Registering tracks with Content ID is not allowed, and Soundraw says you can dispute a claim by providing your subscription details. Video content you do not own, such as movies or TV, needs a separate sync license.
Soundraw says tracks you downloaded and used while subscribed stay usable and can still be monetized. The exceptions are music channels, lo-fi and meditation content and hold music, which must be removed when you unsubscribe. You lose new downloads, and unused credit works only until the renewal date.
Rarely. Its terms say paid plans auto-renew and cannot be cancelled mid-term, and a refund is offered only if you cancel within one week of the auto-renewal date and have not downloaded music since. Ending an annual plan early means paying the remaining fees, so stop auto-renewal before the renewal date if you do not want to continue.
