Verdicts

fal music models

Lyria, ElevenLabs, MiniMax, Stable Audio, Beatoven and open-weights models behind one queue API. Billing units differ per model (per track, per second, per minute rounded up).

Mubert API

Hosted MCP server with 21 tools and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, in the official registry under com.mubert. Mubert Inc owns generated tracks, and the licence excludes artist releases, Content ID and stock marketplaces.

Before you call either

fal music models

  1. Submit to queue.fal.run and poll or use a webhook. Synchronous fal.run calls went down for 30 minutes on 2026-09-04
  2. Check the unit on the model page. ElevenLabs v2.5 bills a whole minute for a 30-second clip
  3. Pin the versioned endpoint, for example fal-ai/elevenlabs/music/v2.5
  4. Use an API-scope key for agents, never an ADMIN key
  5. For stems, run fal-ai/demucs on the output

Mubert API

  1. Search the library before generating. A match costs no generation
  2. Pick a pre-rendered duration (5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60, 180, 240 or 300 seconds) for a one-request result
  3. Download tracks straight away. URLs expire after 900 seconds by default
  4. Treat stream URLs as secrets. They carry the customer access token
