Brain.fm vs Loudly

Brain.fm provides music for focus, sleep, relaxation, and meditation, with modes such as Deep Work, Creativity, Learning, Light Work, and Motivation. The company says its patented neural entrainment technology is designed to guide listeners toward a desired mental state, and that it reduces attention-grabbing elements so the music can remain in the background. Infinite, Timer, and Interval options track work and break periods. Brain.fm describes its music as designed for ADHD and offers a High Neural Effect mode. The maker says it evaluates music using attention tasks and placebo controls, as well as EEG and fMRI studies. The service works on the web, iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. Desktop downloads list macOS 12+ and Windows 10+, and an internet connection is required. Monthly access costs $14.99 a month; yearly access costs $99.99 a year. Both plans include Focus, Sleep, Relaxation, and Meditation modes across web, mobile, and desktop. A 14-day trial and student plan are available; there is no free plan.

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.
