The Udio Alternative You Can Actually Download and Keep
Looking for a Udio alternative you can actually download? Udio makes full-length songs with real vocals and editable lyrics, and its audio fidelity is genuinely strong. But since its label settlements in late 2025, Udio is a walled garden — as of 2026 you cannot export or distribute your tracks on any plan. Neume takes one prompt and returns a finished, mixed vocal song in about a minute — plus a 320 kbps MP3 that is yours to keep and use commercially. Your first song is free, no card. Add one-time top-ups from $4.99, with no subscription, on web, iOS, Android, and an MCP server.

Works with your agent

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Neume lets you make your first song free with no credit card, and offers a free option for lower-quality songs. Udio has a free plan too, but its 10 credits a day are best for testing and its output stays in-app.

No. As of 2026, Udio no longer offers downloads or exports — no MP3, WAV, or stems — on any plan, and you cannot upload tracks to Spotify or YouTube. Neume gives you a downloadable MP3 plus separate vocal and instrumental stems.
Udio is often praised for the highest raw audio fidelity, and that strength is real. The trade-off is that you cannot take that audio with you. Neume focuses on finished, mixed vocal songs you can actually download, keep, and use.
Neume's Remix rewrites the lyrics in just one section you pick, rather than regenerating the whole song. You can paste your own lyrics, give a few sentences of direction, or let Neume write the lines for you.
