Control and editing Yes, a text-based editor for instruments, tempo, genre and mood; text, audio and video to music Yes, a conversational Producer session edits an existing track rather than regenerating it, with tempo and duration control, remixing of your own audio and audio effects
Sound effects Yes, maestro Sound Effects generates a single effect from a prompt No. The product generates full-length songs, and the plan comparison lists no sound effect or foley generation. What sits around the songs is remixing your own audio, audio effects and a stem splitter, which process material rather than create effects from a prompt

API Yes, Composition, Music Intelligence and AI Music Search No. Neither the product site nor the plan comparison carries a developer section, API or documentation. The one place code is written is the in-product vibe-coding area for audio plugins, music games and custom DAWs, which runs inside Flow Music rather than calling it from outside

The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

Beatoven.ai

Strengths

  • Purpose-built royalty-free background music for videos, podcasts and ads
  • Text, audio and video to music inputs
  • Lifetime non-exclusive license on generated tracks

Limitations

  • Instrumental only, no vocals or lyrics
  • Tracks may not be distributed on music streaming platforms
  • Downloads require a paid plan

Google Flow Music

Strengths

  • Songs are edited in conversation instead of regenerated, with tempo and duration under direct control
  • Downloads cover MP3, WAV and M4A, and stems can be split out
  • A free tier with daily credits, and paid plans start at $6 a month
  • Music videos and a build-your-own area for plugins and instruments sit in the same product

Limitations

  • Commercial use and licensing of the output are not spelled out on the product site, which links to Google's general Terms of Service
  • No public API is documented
  • The service has been renamed twice, so guides and links written for Riffusion or Producer.ai go stale quickly
