Best for
Style-consistent game art and marketing creatives
Sound effects and ambience synced to trailer or gameplay video
What it does
Generative content platform aimed at game studios: style-trained models, concept art, marketing creatives and asset variations with team workflows.
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 studios that want style-trained generation with no per-seat fees; the pricing page lists a commercial licence for all users.
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.
