Curated, honestly-ranked picks for generators, free tools and lyrics, organised by what you need to do.

Best AI music generators

The generators worth your time, ranked by what you actually need: finished songs, clean commercial rights, or an API to build on.

Genuinely free tools for analysing tracks and writing prompts, no credits required, plus where the free tiers of generators actually help.

Tools for writing song lyrics with AI, ranked by control, structure and how cleanly they hand off to a music generator.

If Suno is not the right fit, whether for rights, API access or sound, these are the alternatives worth trying.

The tools that turn a written description into audio, ranked by how well they listen to your prompt and what rights you get.

The safest generators for monetised video, ranked by commercial rights first, because a copyright claim costs more than a subscription.

Where to generate music without paying, what the free tiers actually allow, and the catch to watch for.
