Summary
Overview
AIVA composes cinematic and orchestral music, and its main caveat is copyright: on the free and Standard plans AIVA keeps the copyright, and only Pro gives you ownership. That matters for anyone releasing music commercially, so read the plan terms. It is a better fit for game and film composers than for quick social background tracks. Check AIVA’s pricing page for current figures.
Who it's for
A good fit if you are…
- Game, film and content creators who want generated orchestral music
- Creators who want ownership of the result (Pro plan)
Another tool may suit you better if you are…
- People who do not want to read the copyright terms per plan
