Detailed Review
The AIVA privacy policy names Aiva Technologies Sarl as the operator, and the contact page gives 28 Boulevard d'Avranches, Luxembourg, L-1160. The site calls AIVA an AI music generation assistant.
It generates songs rather than licensing a recorded catalogue. Output can be downloaded as MP3 or MIDI and edited afterwards.
Generation workflow
AIVA offers more than 250 styles, custom style models and an upload for an audio or MIDI influence. Generated tracks can be edited and downloaded in any file format.
The site lists over 150 tracks generated by AIVA and arranged by humans.
Plans and rights
The free plan has no monetisation, requires credit to AIVA, and allows 3 downloads a month up to 3 minutes. Standard allows monetisation on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram, 15 downloads a month and 5 minutes.
Pro at EUR 33 a month (billed annually, plus VAT) is the plan for owning the copyright and monetising without restrictions.
Against Pond5
AIVA replaces the search-and-buy step with generation. It does not offer footage or a human-recorded catalogue.
Monthly download caps apply on all tiers we read.
Limitations to Consider
Generated music is a different product from licensed recordings. Download limits per month apply. The pages show both Aiva Technologies Sarl and the wording AIVA Limited, which we could not reconcile. Alternative with human catalogue: Music Vine.
Who Should Use AIVA
Creators who want custom background tracks and MIDI to rework, and accept AI generation.
