MusicGen weights are CC-BY-NC 4.0, so no commercial use.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### MusicGPT API\n\n1. Send the key as the raw `Authorization` header value. The docs show no `Bearer` prefix\n2. Budget two songs for each music request. `POST /v2/MusicAI` returns two versions and the price is per song\n3. Save `task_id` and poll `GET /v1/byId` with `conversionType`, or set `webhook_url`. Music AI V2 sends up to seven webhooks a request\n4. Pass `model` explicitly. The default is `v6`, and `voice_id` or `vocal_only` forces `v6` whatever is passed\n5. Do not retry a create blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented, so a retry may bill again\n\n### MusicGen on Replicate\n\n1. Set `duration` (default 8 seconds) and `model_version`. The default is stereo-melody-large\n2. Use `Prefer: wait` for short clips and webhooks for long ones\n3. On a 429, wait the reset time in the message, about 30 seconds\n4. Switch to `google/lyria-2` or `minimax/music-2.5` when output must be commercial\n5. Add a payment method first, or you're held to 6 requests a minute\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MusicGPT API or MusicGen on Replicate?\n\nMusicGen on Replicate scores 54.3 (C) on agent readiness against MusicGPT API's 45.9 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. MusicGPT API leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Which is cheaper for music generation, MusicGPT API or MusicGen on Replicate?\n\nMusicGPT API, at $0.035 per call against $0.15 per call for MusicGen on Replicate. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Can an agent call MusicGPT API and MusicGen on Replicate without installing anything?\n\nYes.
