Soundverse v9, Lyria 3.5 and ElevenMusic v2.5: which plan gets which
Every music and video model in Soundverse as of November 2026, from Soundverse v6 to v9, Lyria 3.5 and ElevenMusic v2.5 to Veo and Seedance, by plan.
Quick answer: In October 2026 Soundverse put Soundverse v9 at the top of its Model menu and added two outside song models, Google Lyria 3.5 and ElevenMusic v2.5, next to the video models Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0 and 2.5, and Gemini Omni Flash 1.1. Soundverse v9 is on Pro and Max. Creator ($12.49 a month) adds Soundverse v7 and v8, Lyria 3.5, ElevenMusic v2.5 and video generation. Free runs Soundverse v6, so artists and creators can start free and pick a model per song or shot as they grow.
What changed in October 2026
Three things changed. First, Soundverse v9 arrived at the top of the Model menu, above v8, v7 and v6; v6 is where the Free plan starts.
Second, on 22 October two outside song models went live: Google Lyria 3.5 and ElevenMusic v2.5. Third, AI Video Generator now holds video models from Google and ByteDance in one menu.
Soundverse orchestrates leading third-party models rather than training its own foundation music models. The point of the line-up is choice.
"You get the leading models in one place, so you can choose the right one for each job, compare results and keep creating without switching apps." (Soundverse, 22 October 2026)

Soundverse v6 to v9: the song versions
Soundverse v9 makes full songs with vocals, or instrumentals, from a description, your lyrics, a hummed melody, a MIDI file or a reference song, each with a title and cover art. Pro and Max accounts start on it, and Agent One uses it for their songs. It has two limits: it can't extend a song, and it has no length setting.
Soundverse v8 is where Creator accounts start, and it's the newest version Extend Music's Extend Song mode offers. To lengthen a v9 song, extend it with v8.
Soundverse v7 is also on Creator and costs the same as v8, but no plan starts on it. Pick it yourself when you want a second take to compare.
Soundverse v6 is on every plan. New accounts get 1,000 tokens, enough for about three v6 songs.
As of November 2026, a song costs about 300 tokens on v6, about 400 on v7 or v8 and about 500 on v9. The panel shows the price before you generate.
Four Soundverse versions in one Model menu: v6 on Free, v7 and v8 on Creator, v9 on Pro.
Google Lyria 3.5: text in, one complete track
Lyria 3.5 is Google DeepMind's music model. In Soundverse it's in the Model menu of AI Song Generator, for songs with vocals, and AI Music Generator, for instrumentals. It works from text alone: describe the genre, mood and instruments, then paste up to 3,000 characters of your lyrics in Custom mode, or let it write them.
It can't follow a reference track or sing in your voice clone, it has no length setting, and it isn't offered in Extend Music or Inpainting. Prompts that name a real artist or paste copyrighted lyrics are refused. A track costs about 500 tokens. In an Agent One chat, name it: "make a 90s R&B slow jam with Lyria". More on the Lyria 3.5 page.
Lyria 3.5 is the text-only choice: a description and optional lyrics in, one song out.
ElevenMusic v2.5: your lyrics as written, at the length you set
ElevenMusic v2.5 is ElevenLabs' music model (ElevenLabs' announcement), offered in AI Song Generator, AI Music Generator and Inpainting. In Custom mode, each tag such as [Verse] or [Chorus] becomes its own section, and your lines are sung in order, as written.
You can set a length from 15 seconds to five minutes, follow up to 30 seconds of a reference track, make loops and ambience, or score a video. It can't sing in your voice clone. It's priced by length, and the panel shows the cost before you generate. Agent One uses it only when you ask, for example "with ElevenLabs". See the ElevenMusic v2.5 page.
The video models
- Seedance 2.0, ByteDance's model and the default in AI Video Generator: 4 to 15 second clips at up to 1080p in six aspect ratios, and a character can lip-sync to a vocal.
- Seedance 2.5: clips up to 30 seconds at 480p or 720p, guided by up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips. Seedance 2.5 Edit re-renders a clip you already have with the change you describe, such as turning day to night.
- Veo 3.1, Google's model with native sound: 4, 6 or 8 second clips at 720p or 1080p, plus lower-cost Veo 3.1 Fast and lowest-cost Veo 3.1 Lite.
- Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, also from Google: any whole length from 3 to 10 seconds, always with sound. Through Agent One it can also extend or edit a clip of up to 10 seconds.
Video is priced per second, and AI Video Generator shows the estimate before you generate. For music videos and lip sync, read From song to video.

How to compare models on one brief
- Open the tool: AI Song Generator, AI Music Generator, AI Video Generator or AI Music Video Generator.
- Pick a model from the Model menu.
- Write your prompt, or reuse the same brief across models.
- Generate, compare and keep the take you like best.
- Open it in AI Studio to edit, arrange and mix.
Or ask Agent One: it picks the model for the task, or uses the one you name, such as "with Lyria" or "with ElevenLabs".
The Soundverse v9 vs Suno v6 blind test
On 24 October Soundverse posted a blind test on its own YouTube channel. Eight pairs were made from the same prompts, with the same lyrics for the vocal songs, and only the first take was kept, unedited. Every clip runs 17 seconds, is loudness-matched to −14 LUFS and plays as Track A or Track B in a mixed order.
The pairs cover pop ("Golden Hour"), hip-hop, rock, R&B, a Hindi duet ("Baarish Ki Baatein") and three instrumentals: cinematic, lo-fi and house. The video gives no scores. You pick a favourite, then it reveals which was which.
It's Soundverse's own channel, and Suno is a trademark of its owner. Soundverse publishes no sound-quality score for v9, so treat this as a listening test, not a benchmark.
Eight pairs, same prompt, first take only: can you tell which is which?
FAQ
Which model should I start with?
The newest Soundverse version your plan includes, which AI Song Generator and Agent One pick for you. To extend a song, use Soundverse v8 or earlier. Try Lyria 3.5 for a text-only take, and ElevenMusic v2.5 when every lyric must be sung as written at a set length.
Is Soundverse v9 on the Free plan?
No. Soundverse v9 is on Pro and Max. Free runs Soundverse v6, and Creator adds v7 and v8.
Can I release songs made with these models?
It depends on your plan's licence. Creator has a "Royalty Free license — monetize your content", Pro a "Sample license — flip & release derivatives", and Max a "Distribution license — collect streaming revenue", with distribution itself coming to Max. Free is non-commercial. You need the rights to any reference, melody or voice you add, so check the Terms before you release. This isn't legal advice.
