Hear Matt Farmer’s top seven AI music generators for November 2026. Compare songs, stems, pricing and local options, then play “Velvet Orbit” from bonus pick Miya.

Suno is my first pick for a finished vocal song. ElevenLabs comes next when I want to pull a mix apart, and MiniMax is my pick for making a vocal track on my own hardware. Compare all seven, then hear “Velvet Orbit,” a song I made in Miya, the app I keep on in the background.

Matt Farmer’s personal ranking. The recordings are different songs and showcases, not a controlled listening test. Prices are in US dollars. Featured recordings are listening references and do not grant reuse rights.

## #1 Suno

Current release: v6 family / Studio 2.0. Best for: Finished vocal songs.

Suno sounds best to my ears. I’d start here for a song that feels finished from verse to chorus. The v6 family can build up to eight minutes from one prompt. Personas and your own voice give you a way to carry a vocal identity into another song.

Featured demo: [Studio 2.0 is live](https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?id=1797071024643271) — Suno · Studio 2.0 launch ad. This excerpt is from the Studio 2.0 promotion released before v6. Suno does not identify the model behind the soundtrack. [Play the example](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/suno.mp4).

- Access: Free personal tier. Free includes 50 daily credits. Pro is $10/month with 2,500 monthly credits and 20 song downloads. Premier is $30/month and adds Studio. Generation credits and approved exports are counted separately.
- Stems and editing: Replace a section, extend the arrangement or split a paid-plan mix into stems. Studio adds MIDI export, effects and automation when you want more control than a fresh prompt gives you.
- API and local use: Use the hosted app. I couldn’t verify a public self-service API or local v6 weights from Suno.
- Before publishing: Free output is for personal use. Suno ties paid commercial use to an approved download. A remix of another user’s song has its own noncommercial restriction.

## #2 ElevenLabs

Current release: Music v2.5. Best for: Vocal and instrumental stems.

What puts ElevenLabs second for me is the combination of natural-sounding instruments and a mix I can take apart. In ElevenMusic, Muse helps shape the song. Reusable Vocals and Styles let you keep a performance direction across takes.

Featured demo: [Music v2.5 launch soundtrack](https://elevenlabs.io/blog/music-v2-5-model) — ElevenLabs · Music v2.5. An excerpt from ElevenLabs’ model launch film. Listen for the layers in the arrangement. [Play the example](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/elevenlabs.mp3).

- Access: Free song plan. ElevenMusic Free lists 25 songs a day. Pro is $9.99/month with 1,000 songs a month. The launch post and current offer differ on Pro’s lossless download allowance, so check the allowance in your account before a large export.
- Stems and editing: Split the mix into stems to adjust the vocal independently. The separate creative platform also supports composition plans, references and section-level changes.
- API and local use: The hosted ElevenLabs Music API is a separate paid product with its own minute limits. No local Music v2.5 weights are offered in the cited documentation.
- Before publishing: In ElevenMusic, original New Songs can be used commercially on Free with credit. Distribution to streaming services requires creation on Pro. Adaptations stay in the service. ElevenCreative and API customers have separate media, distribution and download rules.

## #3 MiniMax

Current release: Music 3.0. Best for: Local vocal generation.

MiniMax is my pick if you want a full vocal song and the option to generate it yourself. Music 3.0 supports instrumentals too. You can specify what should happen in the verse and chorus, then use the same section labels when you change the lyrics.

Featured demo: [Playground](https://minimax-ai.github.io/music3-demo/) — MiniMax · Music 3.0. A passage from “Playground” in the official Music 3 gallery, paired with the cover for that track. [Play the example](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/minimax.mp3).

- Access: Web credits / open weights. MiniMax Audio may offer time-limited daily credits. Its published service terms list Starter at $5/month and Standard at $30/month. Those are web credit plans. Local generation uses your own compute.
- Stems and editing: Shape up to five minutes with section tags and descriptions of tempo, arrangement and vocal delivery. I couldn’t verify a Music 3.0 stem splitter or section-inpainting tool.
- API and local use: Run the open weights with compatible CUDA hardware via Diffusers or ComfyUI. The hosted music API closed to new users on August 20, 2026. Existing paying users retain access.
- Before publishing: The local weights use the MiniMax-Music3 Community License, with attribution and business eligibility conditions. The hosted music service has its own terms.

## #4 Google Flow

Current release: Lyria 3.5. Best for: Editing a song by conversation.

Flow Music is the one I’d try if you can describe the change you want more easily than you can make it in a timeline. Its Producer lets you talk through arrangement changes and remixes. There’s also a path from the song to a music video with Veo.

Featured demo: [Nao Tem Hora](https://deepmind.google/models/lyria/) — Google DeepMind · Lyria 3.5. DeepMind’s Brazilian funk carioca example uses a prompt that specifies 130–135 BPM. [Play the example](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/google.mp3).

- Access: Free daily top-ups. Free includes daily credit top-ups. Monthly billing lists Starter at $8, Plus at $24 and Member at $64. Google AI Pro includes Flow Music Plus for eligible subscribers. Its music credits are separate from other Google AI credits.
- Stems and editing: Use the conversational Producer to shape a track. Flow Music lists stem downloads alongside MP3, WAV and M4A exports.
- API and local use: Lyria 3.5 is hosted. Developers can generate songs through the Gemini API, billed separately from Flow Music. The consumer chat editor and a single API generation are different workflows.
- Before publishing: Google One documents commercial rights with the eligible Google AI Pro / Flow Music Plus benefit. Check the terms for your specific access route.

## #5 Treblo

Current release: Melodia v3. Best for: Free songwriting and exports.

Treblo, formerly Sonauto, is an easy place to experiment with lyrics and genre tags. It makes the jump from a sketch to an export unusually short. You can extend a take you like or take the stems into another editor.

Featured demo: [My Love](https://treblo.com/song/8d69bc3d-88fc-4169-8662-467b90bc0bd6) — zaptrem · Treblo v3-preview. Treblo staff picked this community song by zaptrem. The song page dates it October 17 and identifies the preview model. [Play the example](https://cdn.treblo.com/generations3/audio_8f161e53-cdaa-4b57-a7bc-0abe474be9a3_0.ogg).

- Access: Free consumer app. Treblo advertises unlimited free consumer generation. Developers get a separate card-verified trial of 3,000 credits. The API Starter plan is $11/month for 20,000 credits.
- Stems and editing: Try custom or generated lyrics, extend a song, replace a passage or split stems. Export formats include OGG, MP3, WAV, FLAC and M4A.
- API and local use: Melodia’s hosted API supports streaming, editing and stems. The cited developer offer is hosted, with no verified local v3 release.
- Before publishing: Consumer terms distinguish your own output from songs shared by other people. Developer terms separately require linked attribution in user-facing apps unless waived.

## #6 MusicGPT

Current release: v7 family. Best for: Remixes and audio utilities.

MusicGPT, now Wav, is the broadest audio toolkit on my list. It’s worth opening when the job moves between making a song, fixing part of it and creating sound effects. Audio-to-MIDI and mastering are useful after the first take.

Featured demo: [Music generation showcase](https://wav.com/) — Wav · official product showcase. The clip shows drum-and-bass and slap-house prompts. Wav does not identify which model made this soundtrack. [Play the example](https://cdn1.musicgpt.com/musicgpt_assets/toolshowcase/music.mp4).

- Access: Free entry / paid plans. Wav offers a free starting point plus Plus, Pro and Ultra plans. Pro adds stem tools. Check the billing period on Wav’s pricing page when comparing an annual offer to monthly plans.
- Stems and editing: Remix or extend a track, replace a section, separate stems on an eligible tier or convert audio to MIDI. Speech and effects tools share the workspace.
- API and local use: The official MusicGPT API documents generation and editing as separate operations with usage-based costs. No downloadable v7 weights were verified.
- Before publishing: Wav’s terms give paid plans commercial-use rights subject to their conditions. Tracks from Discover have a separate license from music you generate.

## #7 Mureka

Current release: V9.5. Best for: Taking a song into a DAW.

Mureka is the one I’d look at when the generated song is the start of a production session. Its Premier exports let you keep working on the arrangement inside a digital audio workstation instead of being stuck with a stereo mix.

Featured demo: [Hypnotic Retro Disco-Funk](https://www.mureka.ai/mureka-9-5) — Mureka · V9.5. A selection from Mureka’s V9.5 showcase built around a dance groove and processed vocals. [Play the example](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/mureka.mp3).

- Access: Free older model. Free uses v7.5-all. Pro is $10/month and adds V9.5. Premier is $30/month and unlocks the more detailed production exports.
- Stems and editing: Start with lyrics, a reference or a vocal input. Remix and edit sections, then use Premier for up to 12 stems, WAV, MIDI and DAW session exports.
- API and local use: Mureka has an official hosted API with a separate balance. No local V9.5 weights were verified.
- Before publishing: Free is for personal use with attribution. Paid plans add commercial permissions under Mureka’s terms. Check which exports your subscription includes.

## Bonus: Miya

Miya is my most-used music app. I always have it running in the background. What I love most is being able to make a whole playlist in one go.

You can ask Miya to generate a song or to put together a playlist. A playlist can also bring together songs that already exist.

[Velvet Orbit](https://mattfarmer.ai/media/ai-music/miya-velvet-orbit.mp3) — Matt Farmer · Made with Miya. I generated this song in Miya. The app doesn’t identify the exact music model behind the recording.

## Listening questions

### Which AI music generators made Matt’s top seven?

In order: #1 Suno, #2 ElevenLabs, #3 MiniMax, #4 Google Flow, #5 Treblo, #6 MusicGPT, #7 Mureka. Miya is a separate, unranked bonus.

### Which tool should I try for a vocal track I can edit?

Suno is my first pick for a finished vocal song. Try ElevenLabs if you want to turn the vocal up or down separately. For a project you’ll finish in a digital audio workstation, Mureka Premier can export up to 12 stems.

### Does Miya generate every song in a playlist?

Miya can generate an individual song, as it did for my track “Velvet Orbit.” It can also curate a whole playlist from existing songs.
