Elevenlabs makes Music v2.5 available via app and API with free and pro tier options

Elevenlabs has released Music v2.5 for ElevenMusic. The company says generated songs now sound fuller and more natural. In a blind test with 47,885 comparison pairs, listeners preferred v2.5 most of the time, especially for R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rock, and orchestral music. Users retain the rights to their tracks. The free tier includes five lossless downloads per day and the Pro tier 400 per month.

Commercial useis allowed depending on industry and purpose, though the free tier requires attribution. Downloads of tracks based on other artists' songs are blocked, and imitating existing musicians isn't allowed. Music v2.5 is also available through Elevenlabs' API, while v2 remains accessible.

Elevenlabs recently signed alicensing deal with Universal Music Group, but says it only applies to future, separate products, not Music v2.5. The company says it trained its existing Music models on "licensed stems and music" without detailing the data. That still sets it apart from competitor Suno, whichwas suedfor training on copyrighted content without rights holders' consent. Suno alsoreleased new models this week. Ad Ad
