FreeFree tier available
Creating an account gives you 50 free credits a day. Under the official terms, however, free users may use the songs they create for personal, non-commercial purposes only.
Free tier available
You can create an account and try making songs. However, per the official help page, audio, video, and stem downloads are suspended, so your results stay on the site.
KoreanAverage
Korean lyric input and Korean vocal generation are supported. Final consonants and long sentences can sound slurred, so shorter lyric lines work better. The interface is in English.
Limited
The interface is in English. You can create songs with Korean lyrics, but you can't download the results, so usability is blocked before quality even comes into question.

What it does well
  • One line of description becomes a finished song
  • You keep the rights to downloaded songs
  • Fix a song instead of discarding it
  • Refine a song section by section
  • Rebuilt its rights framework from the ground up
  • On the site itself, limits have actually loosened
WeaknessesUnder the terms, songs made on the free plan can be used only for personal, non-commercial purposes, so using one in a company video requires a paid subscription. Korean lyrics can sometimes sound slurred on final consonants or forced into the beat, so you'll need to break sentences into shorter lines. Imitating a specific singer's voice or a real song is prohibited by the terms.The biggest limitation right now is that you cannot download the songs you make. The official help page states that audio, video, and stem downloads are suspended, so it cannot be used to get tracks for internal videos or presentations. A new platform with downloads is in the works, but no date has been announced.
