AIVA

AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist, AIVA Technologies, Luxembourg 2016)

Status: Active (founded 2016; SACEM-recognized composer AI since 2017; 250+ styles; 2026-08 定价页 Free/Standard/Pro 欧元计价有效). Category ai-productivity-data; pipeline_stage=none. Not a vocal-song generator (→ Suno/Udio), not a bar-loop BGM tool (→ Soundraw), not an ambient stream (→ Mubert)​ — it is the composition-first orchestral/cinematic AI: pick style/key/tempo/emotion → AI arranges multi-instrument score → edit note-by-note in built-in score editor → export MP3+MIDI（全档） / WAV+STEMS（Pro）​ →Finish it in a DAW. The licensing ladder is the core selling point: Free = copyright stays with AIVA, Standard = monetization limited to social platforms, Pro = full copyright transfers to you. MIDI export on every tier is what sets it apart from all prompt-to-song tools.

1. English Introduction

AIVA is “the AI composer that hands back an editable score, not just a rendered track.” No lyrics, no vocals: you choose from 250+ style presets (Modern Cinematic, Symphonic, Chinese, Jazz, Ambient, Electronic, Tango…) or upload a reference MIDI/audio to train a custom style model, set key/tempo/length/emotion, and it composes a full multi-section arrangement. The built-in editor shows piano-roll score — move a note, change velocity, re-voice the brass, swap instruments — then export MIDI to finish in Logic/Cubase/Pro Tools, or WAV+STEMS on Pro for direct-to-media. 2017 it became the first AI registered as a composer by SACEM, which is why its copyright ladder (Free→Standard→Pro) reads like a music-publishing contract, not a SaaS EULA. Pitch: Suno writes the sung single; AIVA drafts the film/game score you own and can re-orchestrate by hand.

3. Pricing (2026-08, EUR, per seat, annual billed)

pricing_type=per-seat-subscription-eur-no-usd; starting_price=€0; downloads are monthly caps, no rollover; annual ≈ 26% off Standard / 33% off Pro; Pro is buying the copyright, not buying download quota — client deliverables, game soundtracks, ads, and sold sample packs all require Pro; using Standard tracks anywhere outside the four social platforms (YouTube / Twitch / TikTok / Instagram) is a license breach.

4. Access Type

5. Reviews (2026)

• Aggregate ~4.1–4.4/5​ (ToolRadar 4.1/17, AI Tool Index 4.4/540, G2 5/5 1, Capterra 3.9/5 16).
• Praise: orchestral/cinematic quality best-in-price-band, MIDI export on every tier, SACEM-backed copyright clarity on Pro, custom style training, score editor note-level control.
• Complaints: no vocals (vs Suno/Udio), free tier too tight to evaluate (3/mo), Standard 15 downloads cramps high-volume, pop/EDM weaker than cinematic, transitions can be stiff → needs human DAW pass, Pro €33–49/mo steep if you only need BG loops, no API for app devs (vs Mubert).
• Verdict: best editable instrumental score generator for film/game/trailer/commercial composers; wrong for vocal songs (Suno), royalty-safe YT loops (Soundful/Soundraw), ambient streaming (Mubert).
