What Udio does
Udio is a service for making music from a written description. You describe the song you have in mind, such as a ballad, a party track or a calm lo-fi piece, and the service generates it. The official site presents it both for professional producers and for hobbyists.
Beyond creating new songs, the site lists tools to extend, inpaint and remix tracks, and to upload your own audio so the AI editing tools can work on it. Finished songs can be published on Udio, where you can follow other artists and listen to what the community shares.
Pricing is credit based and offered in a freemium structure. The Free plan costs $0 and gives 10 credits per day and 100 credits per month with no rollovers, plus a cap of 3 full length (2:10s) generations per day. Standard is $10 per month billed monthly, or $8 per month billed yearly, and includes 2400 credits per month. Pro is $30 per month billed monthly, or $24 per month billed yearly, with 6000 credits per month. Standard adds features such as Voice Control, lyrics and music editing, and custom cover art, while Pro includes all features from the other plans. Credit packs can be bought when you run out: 100 credits for $3.00 or 1000 credits for $25.00. A free trial is offered, though some Standard benefits are excluded from it, and a discounted student price is mentioned.

Our take
Udio suits people who want to turn a text idea into a song and then refine it with extend, remix and editing tools, whether they are hobbyists or working producers. The Free plan lets you try generation without a credit card, but its daily and monthly credit caps are tight and unused credits do not roll over. Paid plans lift those limits and unlock editing and voice features, yet they still run on monthly credit allowances, so heavy users may need extra credit packs. The official pages do not state platform support, an API, or the length of the free trial, so check those before committing to a workflow.
