Our take

Last updated 14 October 2026

Stable Audio, from Stability AI, describes music and sound-effect generation in the browser, in a DAW plugin, and through an API. The homepage covers conversational edits, inpainting, and experimental stem export, with length from about a second up to six minutes. The pricing page returned only a title, so plan prices and license details are not stated here.

Best for Musicians and sound designers who want prompt-based music or effects in a browser or DAW.

Pros

  • Music and sound effects are both in the product, with audio-to-audio edits and section swaps.
  • A plugin is named for Ableton, Logic, and Pro Tools.
  • An API with pay-per-generation pricing is mentioned, though without numbers.

Cons

  • The pricing page did not render plans or dollar amounts.
  • Commercial-use terms were not on the homepage we could read.
  • Stem export is labeled experimental, and the site says you should not expect a final sound in one generation.
