Mubert is an AI service for generating background music. Rather than full songs, it produces instrumental music suited to video, podcasts, live streams, games or the mood of an app. You can get tracks from a text description, an image, or a chosen genre and mood, and for developers it has an API that generates or streams music directly inside an app.
What is Mubert good for?#
- Music under video: a creator makes a track of the length and mood they want.
- Non-stop live streaming: a streamer or online cafe gets continuous background music.
- In-app music: a developer uses the API for dynamic music in an app or game.
- Focus and relaxation music: build a sound environment for work, study or meditation.
- Ad previews: an agency gauges the mood before commissioning final music.
Strengths and weaknesses#
Strengths:
- Fast generation of instrumental music at the length you want.
- API and live streaming for integration into products.
- Suited to social content, with an emphasis on clear licensing.
- A simple start from a text description or a mood choice.
Weaknesses:
- No vocals or songs.
- Tracks are more ambient and don't create memorable artistic works.
- Commercial licensing and volume depend on the plan.
- Fine control over track structure is lower than in composing tools like AIVA.
Free version and pricing#
A limited free level exists for personal use, and commercial work or high volume needs a paid plan. The API is priced separately by usage or plan. Check the official site for current terms.
Language support and use from Iran#
Since the music is instrumental, language isn't a factor; write descriptions in English. We have no definite information about access from Iran.
Mubert alternatives#
- AIVA: an AI composer for cinematic music with MIDI output.
- Stable Audio: music and sound effects with open models.
- Suno: complete songs with vocals and lyrics.
- Udio: song generation with vocals and more control over style.
