AetherWave Music Studio vs Loudly

AetherWave Music Studio is a browser-based tool for generating a finished AI song from a prompt, alongside a multitrack DAW for recording, arranging, generating, and mixing audio. The DAW includes track editing, a MIDI piano roll, per-track controls and automation, and effects such as EQ and reverb. Its AI-Engineer can make mix changes that can be undone. Full mixes export as lossless WAV at 44.1 kHz/16-bit stereo or compressed MP3. AetherWave also offers an MCP server for Claude, Cursor, Continue, scripts, and other MCP clients, accessed with OAuth or an API key; generations use the website’s credit balance, with no separate API plan or surcharge. The free plan starts with zero monthly credits, though credits can be earned through daily login streaks and one-time community quests. Newer accounts may need a card verified with a $0 check before generating. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month. The DAW is desktop-only and displays a desktop-required message below 900 pixels wide.

Loudly is a web-based AI music generator from a maker headquartered in Berlin, Germany. It supports vocal generation, audio uploads and stem export, with downloads in MP3 and WAV formats. Commercial use is supported, so listed rights cover commercial projects. The Free plan costs nothing and limits generated tracks to 30 seconds. Personal includes AI music generation, downloads and commercial licensing. Pro lists higher generation, download and stem allowances, also with commercial licensing. Because the listed platform is web, the service is accessed through a browser rather than a separately listed desktop or mobile application. Audio upload and stem export provide ways to incorporate existing material and separate generated parts. The defined free-track duration gives the no-cost option a clear boundary, while the paid plan descriptions indicate expanded allowances and licensing for users who need more output.
