AIVA vs Boomy
Updated Jul 18, 2026 · pricing verified for both tools
AIVA Pro at €33/month is the only one of these two that transfers copyright to you; Boomy grants commercial rights from $9.99/month but keeps ownership. Pick Boomy for cheap volume — Pro at $29.99/month allows 250 downloads a month, and those rights survive cancellation. Pick AIVA when you must own what you make, or need MIDI export to keep editing in a DAW. Both free tiers are near-unusable: AIVA allows 3 downloads a month with no monetization, Boomy allows zero.

When to pick AIVA
- You need to own the music outright. AIVA Pro at €33/month transfers full copyright and unrestricted monetization rights to you — Boomy never transfers ownership at any subscription tier, and a buyout requires a manual rights request by email.
- You want to keep working on the track. AIVA exports MIDI on every plan, so a generated composition can go into a DAW and be edited note by note; Boomy offers no MIDI export.
- You are composing to a brief. AIVA covers 250+ styles and lets you upload audio or MIDI as influences to build a custom style, which suits scoring a specific scene or mood.
When to pick Boomy
- Throughput at low cost is the goal. Creator is $9.99/month for 25 downloads and Pro is $29.99/month for 250, with full commercial rights on everything you download — and those rights continue even after you cancel.
- You want a vocal on the track. Boomy’s Custom Vocals lets you record or upload your own top-line over the generated instrumental, with an Auto Vocals beta on top; AIVA is instrumental-only.
- You do not want to think about music theory. Boomy generates from style presets and returns several finished options per run, with individual instrument editing on paid tiers, so there is no prompt-writing to learn.
Bottom line
The deciding question is not price, it is ownership. AIVA Pro at €33/month is the only plan here that makes you the copyright holder; Boomy retains copyright by default and grants commercial usage rights instead, which is enough for YouTube background music and stock libraries but not for anything you need to license onward or defend. Volume slightly favours AIVA at the top (300 downloads a month against Boomy’s 250) and Boomy at the entry point (25 downloads for $9.99 against AIVA’s 15 for €11). Neither free tier is worth planning around — AIVA’s 3 monthly downloads forbid monetization and require crediting AIVA, and Boomy’s free tier permits no downloads at all. One more thing to factor in if streaming is your goal: Boomy discontinued its own distribution in April 2025, so reaching Spotify or Apple Music now means paying a third-party distributor separately.
