Which AI music generator is licensed for paid advertising?
Three of the six AI music generators we read, Suno, Soundraw and Sonilo, label their cheapest paid plan commercial on their own pricing page. The other three, Musicfy, Mubert and AIVA, put commercial use one paid tier up, and that gap is where ad buyers under-license by buying the cheaper plan. The table reads each vendor's pricing page as it stood on 19 October 2026.
| Vendor | Cheapest paid plan | Licence on it | First commercial plan | What else the page says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suno | Pro, $8/mo billed yearly | Commercial | Pro, $8/mo | Free tier: "No commercial rights". Pro: 20 song downloads a month. Suno adds: "See the terms of service for limitations on commercial use." |
| Soundraw | Creator, $11.04/mo yearly ($16.99 monthly) | Commercial | Creator, $11.04/mo | For individuals and small companies (under 10 employees); unlimited monthly downloads; 10+ employees go to Enterprise, priced on request. |
| Sonilo | Pro, $11.99/mo yearly ($20 monthly) | Commercial | Pro, $11.99/mo | Commercial license certificate to download. Premium ($23.99) widens the scope to film, TV, broadcast and studio games. |
| Musicfy | Starter, $8/mo yearly ($95.99/yr) | None listed | Professional, $20/mo | Professional and Studio list a "Commercial License"; Starter does not. Prices shown under a "SUMMER SALE · 60% OFF" banner on 19 October. |
| Mubert | Creator, $11.69/mo yearly ($14 struck) | Non-commercial | Pro, $32.49/mo | "Creator is intended for non-commercial content." Business ($149.29) "is designed for client work, agencies, apps, games and broader commercial use." |
| AIVA | Standard, €11/mo yearly + VAT | Limited | Pro, €33/mo + VAT | Standard: monetise "only on Youtube, Twitch, Tik Tok and Instagram", copyright owned by AIVA. Pro: "Copyright owned by YOU", full monetisation. |
Personal, creator and commercial tiers: where ad use starts on each plan
Ad use starts at a different rung on every AI music price ladder, and the diagram puts all six ladders on one scale so the rung is visible. Suno, Soundraw and Sonilo start commercial at their first paid plan. Musicfy, Mubert and AIVA each sell a cheaper paid plan below the commercial line, which is the plan an ad buyer is most likely to pick by mistake.
Above the commercial line there is a second line that matters to advertisers: who the buyer is and where the ad runs. Soundraw's Creator plan stops at companies under 10 employees, Mubert reserves client and agency work for Business, and Sonilo names film, TV and broadcast only on Premium. Those three rungs, coloured violet, are where agency and broadcast campaigns belong.
- Non-commercial
- Limited or none listed
- Commercial use
- Agency, broadcast or enterprise
Brand-safe tracks: exclusivity, Content ID and claims on ad platforms
An AI-generated ad track is licensed, not exclusive, unless a vendor's terms say otherwise, because copyright in the US follows human authorship. The US Copyright Office's Part 2 report on copyrightability concludes that material generated by AI without sufficient human control is not protected, and the Office's AI policy hub tracks the guidance as it changes. In practice the advertiser's protection is the contract: the plan's licence, the invoice and any certificate the vendor issues.
Two vendors here put that contract in writing on the pricing page. AIVA's Pro plan says "Copyright owned by YOU", the strongest ownership language of the six, while its Free and Standard plans keep copyright with AIVA. Sonilo issues a commercial license certificate to download from Pro upward, which is the document an advertiser can show a platform or a client.
Content ID claims are a separate risk from the licence. YouTube's copyright policy explains that Content ID matches uploads against reference files submitted by rights holders, so a claim can arrive on a licensed track if someone else has registered similar audio. Keep the licence record per track, because a dispute is decided on evidence, not on which plan you meant to buy.
Does a commercial plan make an AI music track exclusive to my brand?
No vendor of the six describes its standard commercial plan as exclusive on its pricing page. Treat every track as non-exclusive unless the vendor's terms grant exclusivity in writing.
Price per usable track at ad volumes
Per included track, Sonilo Pro is the cheapest commercial plan we could compute, at about 8 cents for each 15-second soundtrack, because its $11.99 plan includes 148 of them a month. AIVA Pro works out at about 11 euro cents a download (300 a month for €33), and Suno Pro at 40 cents (20 song downloads for $8). Soundraw Creator lists unlimited monthly downloads, so its per-track cost falls with every extra ad you cut.
The per-track figure only holds on the plan that is cleared for ads. AIVA Standard looks cheap per month but costs about 73 euro cents a download and limits monetisation to four platforms, so the cheaper line on the chart is not the cheaper ad licence. Mubert and Musicfy do not print a monthly track count on the pricing pages we read, so they are not charted.
Which to buy, by campaign type
The right AI music plan for advertising depends on who is buying and where the ad runs, and each of the six vendors wins one of those cases on its own published terms. Pick the row that describes you, then run the checklist below against that vendor's pricing page on the day the campaign launches.
Solo marketer, paid social
Suno Pro, $8/mo billed yearly
The cheapest plan of the six that lists commercial use rights, with 20 song downloads a month for testing variants. Read the limitations Suno points to in its terms.
Small brand, many video ads
Soundraw Creator, $11.04/mo
Commercial use, background-music use and unlimited monthly downloads, built for exactly this, as long as the company has fewer than 10 employees.
Agency, client campaigns
Mubert Business, $149.29/mo
The only plan here whose vendor says it is designed for client work and agencies, which removes the question of whose licence covers the client.
TV, broadcast or cinema spot
Sonilo Premium, $23.99/mo
Its licence names film, TV, broadcast and studio games, and every paid Sonilo plan comes with a certificate to download.
Brand that wants to own the score
AIVA Pro, €33/mo + VAT
The one plan that says "Copyright owned by YOU", with 300 downloads a month and no attribution required.
Jingle built from your own voice
Musicfy Professional, $20/mo
Musicfy creates music with your voice and lists a commercial licence from Professional up. The price shown on 19 October was a sale price.
Ad music licence check: run it before a track goes live
- The tier you pay for names commercial use on its own pricing page (not only a higher tier).
- Your company size fits the tier (Soundraw Creator: under 10 employees).
- The work is for you, not a client. Client or agency work: look for an agency tier such as Mubert Business.
- The channel is covered: paid social, web, TV or broadcast (Sonilo names broadcast only on Premium).
- You saved the licence certificate or invoice and the date the track was generated.
- You read what happens to tracks made while subscribed if you cancel.
- You re-read the vendor terms page on launch day; plan terms change.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Suno music in a paid ad?
On a paid plan, yes by Suno's own pricing page: Pro ($8 a month billed yearly) and Premier list "Commercial use rights", while the Free plan lists "No commercial rights". Suno also says to see its terms of service for limitations on commercial use, so read them before a campaign runs.
Is Mubert music cleared for advertising on the Creator plan?
No. Mubert labels its free Ambassador plan and its Creator plan ($11.69 a month billed annually) non-commercial. Commercial usage starts at Pro ($32.49), and Mubert says Business ($149.29) is designed for client work, agencies, apps and games.
Does AIVA's Standard plan cover ads?
AIVA describes Standard (€11 a month billed annually plus VAT) as for creators who monetise only on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram, with copyright owned by AIVA. For unrestricted monetisation and copyright in your name, AIVA sells Pro at €33 a month plus VAT.
Can a large company use Soundraw's Creator plan for ads?
Soundraw sells Creator ($11.04 a month billed yearly) to individuals and small companies with fewer than 10 employees. Companies of 10 or more employees are pointed to its Enterprise plan, which is priced on request.
Who owns the copyright in AI-generated ad music?
Under US Copyright Office guidance, material generated by AI without sufficient human authorship is not protected by copyright, so your rights usually come from the vendor's licence rather than from copyright. AIVA's Pro plan is the one plan here whose pricing page says the copyright is owned by the customer.
Can an AI music track still get a Content ID claim on my ad?
Yes. YouTube's Content ID matches uploads against reference files that rights holders submit, so a claim can arrive even on a licensed track. Keep the licence certificate or invoice for each track so you can dispute a mistaken claim.
