Best for
Editable soundtrack-style music with MIDI
Sound effects and ambience synced to trailer or gameplay video
What it does
AI composer for soundtrack-style music with MIDI and audio export, editable in its built-in editor.
Video-to-sound model (SFX 2.0) that generates sound effects, foley and ambience synced to a video while keeping its dialogue; also text-to-SFX, via a web studio, API and MCP server.
Verdict
For soundtrack-style game music; only the Pro plan gives you the copyright, and the free plan is non-commercial.
For sound effects synced to trailer or gameplay footage; the free plan is non-commercial and watermarked, so anything you ship needs a paid plan.
