Pros and cons

Melyx AI

Pros

  • Simple studio with text, custom-lyrics and instrumental modes
  • Two variations per 10-credit request
  • Free credits to try before paying
  • Failed tasks are refunded automatically
  • Monthly list prices and add-on pack prices are published

Cons

  • The underlying music model is not named
  • The operating company is not publicly disclosed; the footer and terms name only "Melyx AI"
  • The pricing page opens on the Yearly tab with a "Flash Sale 50%" label and "Billed Annually" shown next to the monthly rate, which makes the monthly cost unclear
  • Pricing FAQ (3 days) and refund policy (14 days) disagree on the refund window
  • Subscription credits do not roll over, and add-on packs are for subscribers only
  • Extension, stems, music video and remix features are only announced; no API or mobile app

Recraft

Pros

  • Generates editable SVG vectors on every plan, including Free
  • Custom styles and color palettes keep output consistent with a brand
  • Single workspace for generation, vector editing, upscaling, background removal and mockups
  • Gives access to external models such as Flux, GPT Image, Imagen and Nano Banana
  • Paid plans include private images and full commercial rights
  • Apps for iOS and Android, Figma and other plugins, and a public API and MCP server

Cons

  • Free plan images are public and not licensed for commercial use
  • Monthly credits expire each cycle, and costs per image vary by model (for example 2 credits for V4.1 and 10 for V4.1 Pro)
  • Video generation is not available on Free or Basic plans
  • Plan prices depend on credit tier, so cost rises quickly for heavy use
