AI Studio — the multitrack, audio-visual studio with plugins and real-time collaboration, included on every plan.
How good is the separation?
LALAL.AI's separation is excellent and that deserves saying plainly — vocals, drums, bass, piano, guitar and more, with a fast queue on paid plans. Soundverse's Stem Separator produces vocal and instrumental stems and finer splits that are good enough to remix with, and it is one of about 140 tools rather than the product.
What does a year of splitting cost?
LALAL.AI meters minutes: $18 for 90 minutes, $25 for 300, $35 for 500 as one-time packs, or $7.50/mo billed annually with a fast-queue allowance, as listed in October 2026. Soundverse's Stem Separator is available on the free plan, and Creator ($12/mo, $10 billed annually) adds WAV and stem exports; separation runs on tokens alongside everything else.
What do you do with the stems?
On LALAL.AI you download them. On Soundverse they land in AI Studio — multitrack, plugins, real-time collaboration — or in DJ One, Soundverse's two-deck booth with live stems, and from there into remixes, extensions, inpainting and a release through Max.
What about rights?
Both leave the rights to your own uploads with you. Soundverse additionally attributes and watermarks what you generate with TRACE, grades clearance with the Spectrum of Creation framework and runs Copyright and Watermark Checkers before release — relevant the moment a stem becomes part of a new track.
Where LALAL.AI is a fit
LALAL.AI is a fit for producers, DJs and engineers who split a large volume of audio and want the best standalone separation quality with a fast queue, and who already have a DAW and a release process.
Best for producers and DJs who split stems often, and want to do something with them afterwards: Soundverse
Stems on every plan, inside the studio and DJ booth where you use them.
Full-song generation, remixing, inpainting and extension built around the stems.
TRACE, Spectrum of Creation and Distribute on Max for the track you make with them.
