How much does Soundraw cost?
Some prices not published · checked
- $16.99Creator
- $29.99Artist Starter
- $35.99Artist Pro
- $50Artist Unlimited
Regional prices: USD figures are the US view of the pricing page read on 2026-10-30; the page shows prices in local currency (euros when read from Europe) and has an Annual/Monthly toggle.
The page text lists two prices per plan with a constant 35% gap; we read the higher one as monthly billing and the lower as the annual plan, which the Help Center describes as a 12-month commitment charged monthly. Cancelling an annual plan early charges the remaining months in one payment, and after the term downloads stop and the account reverts to Free. The pricing card text lists streaming distribution under Creator too, while the license page gives it to Artist plans; we could not confirm Creator distribution rights. The FAQ says songs downloaded while subscribed stay licensed, but the license page says meditation, lo-fi and relaxation content using unmodified tracks stays published only while subscribed. Enterprise and API pricing are by contact.

How far does it go?
- What a year of Creator costsTwelve payments at the annual-plan rate of $11.04 come to $132.48; twelve months at the monthly rate of $16.99 come to $203.88, a $71.40 gap. Creator downloads are unlimited, so 15 tracks a month costs the same as 1. On Artist Starter, 10 downloads a month cover 10 tracks; a creator needing 15 would need Artist Pro (20).

Is Soundraw free?
Partly. The Help Center says there is no free trial of the license, but a free account lets you generate, customize and favorite songs. The license to download and use songs comes with a paid plan. The homepage also offers SOUNDRAW Grid loops to start free.
What do the Soundraw plans cost?
The pricing page shows two prices per plan. Creator is $16.99 a month on monthly billing and $11.04 on the annual plan; Artist Starter $29.99 and $19.49; Artist Pro $35.99 and $23.39; Artist Unlimited $50 and $32.50. Which price belongs to which period is our reading of the page, not a label we could see. The annual plan is a 12-month commitment charged monthly. Companies with 10 or more employees are routed to Enterprise, which is by quote.
Can you release Soundraw music on Spotify?
The license page allows streaming distribution on Artist plans only if you modify the beat first, for example by adding your vocals or an instrument you played. Distributing the download unchanged, registering content ID and selling the modified beat on stock audio sites are listed as not allowed.
Do the provider pages agree?
Not fully. The cancellation FAQ says songs downloaded while subscribed stay licensed for good, while the license page says meditation, lo-fi and relaxation content using unmodified tracks stays published only while you subscribe. The pricing card text also lists streaming distribution under Creator, which the license page gives to Artist plans. Ask support before relying on either case.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a license to use Soundraw music?
Yes. The license to download and use tracks comes with a paid plan; all plans cover personal and commercial projects, with streaming release limited to Artist plans. The Help Center says a free account has no license.
Can I put Soundraw songs on Spotify?
Only on Artist plans, and only if you modify the beat first, for example with your vocals or an instrument you played. Distributing the download unchanged is not allowed, and neither is registering content ID.
What happens to my tracks if I cancel Soundraw?
You can download until the end of the billing cycle, and the FAQ says songs downloaded while subscribed stay licensed for monetizing. The license page limits unmodified meditation, lo-fi and relaxation content to the subscription period, so check it for those uses.
What does Soundraw train its AI on?
The provider says it trains only on music produced by its own in-house team and uses no scraped data. We could not verify this independently.

Official pages read on 2026-10-30: homepage, pricing page, license page, Terms of Service (2025-06-12), API page, SOUNDRAW Grid page and three Help Center articles (free vs paid, annual plan, cancelling). The old /terms_of_use and /faq addresses returned 404. We did not create an account or generate a track, so music quality, speed and the free account's limits were not observed. The Schedule that defines the Free Plan is a linked Google Drive file we did not read.
