How much does Melody ML cost?
Updated
Melody ML gives you 2 free songs, then charges $0.50 per song. You pay by buying credit packages: 10 songs for $5 USD, 20 songs for $10 USD, or 50 songs for $20 USD. All three packages work out to the same $0.50-per-song rate, so the choice is about how much you want to commit upfront rather than about getting a volume discount. Payment is accepted by Visa/debit card and PayPal, with Stripe and PayPal handling payment details.
Pricing at a glance
| Package | Price | Cost per song |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 | 2 songs included |
| 10 songs | $5 USD | $0.50 |
| 20 songs | $10 USD | $0.50 |
| 50 songs | $20 USD | $0.50 |
Because the per-song rate never changes, there is no financial reason to buy the larger package unless you already know you will process many tracks. If you only need a handful of separations, the 10-song package carries the least upfront cost.
What counts as a song
Each upload that you process consumes one credit, and a single upload can produce multiple stems. Melody ML separates tracks into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments, and also offers instrumental and vocal-only outputs. So one credit covers the full set of stems generated from one song, not one stem.
Free tier and its limits
The first 2 songs are free, which is enough to test whether the output quality suits your material before spending anything. Note the constraints that apply to every upload, free or paid:
- Maximum file size: 100 MB
- Maximum song length: 10 minutes
- Supported formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, Ogg/Vorbis
If your file exceeds the length or size limit, or uses an unsupported format, the song shows an error instead of processing.
How credits work
Credits are added to your account and drawn down as you upload songs. Melody ML states that credits go toward development and server costs to keep the service running. You need an account to hold credits and to download your results — you can create one with an email address or with Google.
Processing is not instant: the page tells you a song can take 1–20 minutes. You can refresh the page or come back later to download your stems, and processed files stay available for 1 month.
Practical cost examples
- Separating 2 songs: free.
- Separating 10 songs total: 2 free, then the remaining 8 would require a package — the smallest is 10 songs for $5, leaving you 2 credits in reserve.
- Separating 50 songs: $20 for the 50-song package, or $25 if bought as five 10-song packages.
What the price does not include
The published pricing covers separation credits only. Melody ML states it does not own, share, or take authorship of uploaded songs, and that users take copyright and legal responsibility for their uploads. It stores your email address for basic functionality, and Stripe and PayPal collect payment information. No information in the source indicates a subscription, refund policy, or expiry date on purchased credits beyond the 1-month download window for processed files.
Is it worth it for your case
At $0.50 per song with no subscription, Melody ML suits occasional or project-based use — a few remixes, practice tracks, or stem extraction for a small catalog. If you need to process a large library regularly, the flat per-song rate means cost scales linearly, so budget accordingly.
