ElevenLabs expands into AI music generation with ElevenMusic
ElevenLabs has released an iOS app called ElevenMusic that lets users create music with AI and discover AI-generated tracks. The app puts the company into direct competition with platforms such as Suno and Udio.
The release also signals a broader push beyond voice models. ElevenLabs appears to be positioning itself as more than a voice AI company, using tools for music creation and other media formats as a way to grow and defend its position as AI audio models become more commoditized.
ElevenMusic app features for AI song creation
Natural language prompts power music generation
ElevenMusic allows users to generate songs through natural language prompts. That makes the creation process simple and prompt-driven rather than heavily technical.
Users can also control several parts of the output, including:
- Song length
- Whether the song includes lyrics
- Writing style
Daily song generation limits in the free version
The app is currently free to use. Free users can generate up to seven songs per day.
Remixes also count toward that daily cap, so users need to balance original generations with edits to tracks made by others.
AI music discovery and remix features in ElevenMusic
Users can discover and remix tracks made by others
ElevenMusic is not just a music generation tool. It also includes discovery features that let users explore songs created by other people and remix them with text prompts.
That gives the app a more social and interactive feel. Instead of only generating songs from scratch, users can also build on existing AI-created material inside the platform.
Built-in listening experiences mirror music streaming apps
The app includes several listening and discovery surfaces that resemble mainstream music-streaming products. These include:
- Live stations
- Pre-created albums
- Daily mixes
The daily mixes are organized around moods such as:
- Focus
- Energy
- Relax
- Late Night
- Cosmic
- Chill
ElevenMusic also includes familiar browsing sections like top charts, trending now, and new releases. That structure makes the product feel like a blend of an AI music creation tool and a streaming app.
ElevenMusic pricing and Pro subscription details
Free plan usage
The free version gives users access to music generation with a limit of seven songs per day.
Pro plan cost and included benefits
ElevenLabs also offers a Pro tier priced at $9.99 per month or $95.90 per year.
This subscription includes:
- Up to 500 tracks per month
- More than 500 GB of storage
- Access to all kinds of styles and moods
The paid tier is clearly aimed at users who want much higher output volume and broader creative flexibility.
Why ElevenLabs launched an AI music app
The company is building beyond voice AI
The launch of ElevenMusic suggests ElevenLabs is extending its product line well beyond voice generation. The company sees AI tools for music and other media as part of a larger growth strategy.
That matters because the company is also thinking ahead about the long-term value of AI audio products. Expanding into music creation appears tied to protecting its business as underlying audio models become less differentiated.
ElevenLabs has been adding more creative tools
ElevenLabs has been steadily building out creative products and models over the last few months.
Last August, the company released its first music-generation model, which it said was commercially safe. Earlier this year, it also partnered with top music producers to release an album created with the help of AI.
More recently, the company released a broader creative tool that can handle:
- Ad generation
- Voice-overs
- Translation
- Image generation
- Video making
- Voice cloning
- Sound creation
Taken together, these releases show a clear move toward a wider creative AI platform.
ElevenLabs consumer product strategy and music vertical growth
ElevenMusic adds to existing consumer tools
Before this launch, ElevenLabs already had consumer-facing products such as its voice generator and ElevenReader.
The company also started a program last year that lets authors earn royalties to convert and distribute their books on the ElevenReader platform. That detail matters because it shows ElevenLabs has already explored incentive systems tied to user-created or user-contributed content.
Royalty incentives may become part of the music platform
ElevenLabs is also hiring for a consumer marketing role focused on growing its music vertical. That points to a more deliberate push into consumer music products.
The company could eventually offer royalties or other incentives to encourage users to create more music on the platform. While that has not been presented as a current feature of ElevenMusic, it is described as a possible path tied to growth in the music category.
ElevenLabs momentum behind the ElevenMusic launch
In February, ElevenLabs raised a $500 million Series C at an $11 billion valuation. That funding adds context to the launch of ElevenMusic and the company’s broader expansion into creative AI products.
The app itself had been listed on the App Store for a few weeks before its release on April 1, indicating a quiet rollout rather than a loud debut.
