Overview
Udio is a generative AI music platform launched as a free beta in April 2024 by a team of former Google DeepMind researchers. It creates songs with vocals and instrumentation from text prompts, and each generation produces two tracks that can be remixed or extended. After an October 2025 legal settlement, Udio agreed to license and train only on authorized music and has shifted toward a streaming-based model, offering subscribers advanced tools such as audio inpainting. This review read the pricing page, which now renders and names Free, Standard and Pro tiers alongside a free trial; no price figures are recorded here. One limitation is that commercial rights and the advanced editing tools sit on the paid tiers.
