The best alternatives to Loudly
Loudly might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Loudly alternative
Loudly still offers music generation with built-in distribution and a limited free plan, with better mastering since the VEGA-2 model, but it keeps accumulating 2026 complaints about difficult cancellations and a strict no-refund policy.
What its own users repeat in the August 7, 2026 sweep:
- Distribution must go through Loudly (strong theme)
- Unpublished files lose commercial use in new projects after cancellation (present theme)
- Recurring 2026 complaints of difficult cancellation and a strict no-refund policy, with users reporting unexpected charges (strong theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Beatoven.ai 4.6/5 · Free
Beatoven remains a background music generator with a clear sync-to-video licence, from free up to $20 a month on Visionary, but you never own the track and cannot upload it alone to Spotify.
Where it wins: Video-to-music and exact duration Where it slips: You cannot distribute the standalone track on Spotify
SOUNDRAW 4.3/5 · Free trial · from $11.04
Soundraw remains licensed background music you can monetise on YouTube and social, but the cheap plan cannot be released as your own song and Spotify distribution requires a pricier plan plus modifying the track.
Where it wins: Visual control over energy and structure Where it slips: Creator cannot release the track as a song
Soundful 4.1/5 · Free
Soundful remains free to start but keeps the master rights to every track by default, and monetising outside SoundCloud requires buying copyright separately from $50 per track, with plan naming that varies across the company's own official pages.
Where it wins: Fast workflow for non-musicians Where it slips: The platform retains the master by default
