# ElevenLabs releases Music v2.5 with free and paid tiers

*2026-09-13 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/elevenlabs-makes-music-v2-5-available-via-app-and-api-with-free-and-pro-tier-options/)*

ElevenLabs launched Music v2.5, its AI music generation model, available through its app and API with free and pro tiers. In a blind test of nearly 48,000 comparison pairs, listeners preferred the new version over its predecessor, and the company says the model was trained only on licensed music.

**Why it matters:** The licensed-only training claim reflects mounting legal pressure on AI music generators, several of which face lawsuits from major labels, positioning ElevenLabs as a lower-legal-risk option for commercial use. A free tier also pressures rival AI music tools to match on price.
