Aiva pricing turns on rights more than generation. Free costs €0 but bans monetization. Standard costs €11 a month on the annual plan shown by AIVA, plus VAT. Pro costs €33 a month on that annual plan, plus VAT. Standard gives limited platform monetization. Pro gives full copyright and 300 downloads a month.
Aiva pricing at a glance
| Plan | Published annual-plan price | Downloads | Maximum duration | Rights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | 3 a month | 3 minutes | AIVA copyright; no monetization; credit required |
| Standard Annually | €11 a month plus VAT, billed annually | 15 a month | 5 minutes | AIVA copyright; limited platform monetization; no credit required |
| Pro Annually | €33 a month plus VAT, billed annually | 300 a month | 5 minutes 30 seconds | Your copyright; full monetization; no credit required |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Separate agreement |
The annual arithmetic is simple. Standard totals €132 plus VAT for a year at the published monthly equivalent. Pro totals €396 plus VAT for a year. AIVA marks Standard Annually as 26% off. The official page extraction used for this guide displayed the annual view. It did not display the month-to-month price figures. AIVA's agreement confirms monthly variants exist. Do not rely on a monthly price until AIVA's live pricing view shows it to you.
Standard: lower price, narrower rights
Standard is designed for creators who publish on a limited set of platforms. AIVA names YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Instagram. The license allows monetization there. It does not transfer copyright. AIVA remains the copyright owner. You do not need to credit AIVA.
The usage allowance is 15 downloads a month. Tracks can last up to five minutes. Downloads are MP3 and MIDI. That makes Standard a practical tier for a creator with a steady posting rhythm. It is less useful for a composer delivering masters to outside clients. It is also a poor fit when the buyer expects ownership of the finished cue.
Read the platform limit literally. A track cleared for a monetized YouTube upload is not automatically cleared for every commercial setting. AIVA's agreement calls this a Limited Commercial License. The limit is the product. If your project falls outside those platforms, Standard is not the safe tier merely because it is paid.
Pro: the ownership tier
Pro is the tier for professional delivery. It gives 300 downloads a month. It raises duration to five minutes and 30 seconds. It unlocks all file formats. It includes high-quality WAV export. It also removes the attribution duty.
The decisive feature is copyright. AIVA says Pro users own the full copyright of their compositions. Its agreement calls this Full Copyright. It assigns the copyrights in the MIDI and audio compositions to the licensee. That is materially different from a broad usage license. It affects client handover, catalogue control, and future licensing decisions.
Pro still has operating limits. The download cap is large but not unlimited. The duration cap remains under six minutes. AIVA's general service rules also cap simultaneous and stored compositions. Pro solves the ownership problem, not every scale problem. High-volume or automated production belongs in an enterprise discussion.
Who counts as an individual or enterprise?
AIVA's agreement defines an Individual narrowly. It can be a person. It can also be a small business with fewer than three employees. A small business under $300,000 in revenue over the past year can also qualify. An Enterprise has three or more employees and generated more than $300,000 in the past year. Enterprise customers are told to contact AIVA for a custom plan.
Students and schools sit outside the public price table. AIVA says discounts exist for students and schools. It directs readers to use a contact form or live chat. No public student price is shown in the extracted pricing view. Do not budget a guessed discount.
Taxes also matter. Every paid individual price shown here excludes VAT. AIVA's agreement makes the buyer responsible for the correct billing address and applicable local tax. The checkout total can therefore exceed the headline plan price. Compare AIVA with dollar-priced tools only after tax and currency conversion.
Refunds and the free-plan test
AIVA tells customers to use Free to judge whether a paid plan fits. Its refund clause is restrictive. Customers are eligible only if they have not used premium features from the subscribed plan. Using those features acts as a waiver of the withdrawal right under the clause. A forgotten renewal is not refunded under the stated term. Test first. Set a cancellation reminder if you subscribe.
The desktop app is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Access channel does not change the plan economics. The same download and license rules should drive the choice.
How to choose
- Choose Free for evaluation and non-commercial drafts.
- Choose Standard for up to 15 downloads a month on the four named platforms.
- Choose Pro for WAV files, high download volume, unrestricted monetization, or copyright transfer.
- Choose Enterprise when your organisation meets AIVA's enterprise definition or needs a separate agreement.
- Confirm the live monthly-billing price inside AIVA before choosing monthly over annual.
Bottom line
Standard is a platform license. Pro is an ownership product. That is the cleanest way to read Aiva pricing. Buy Standard for a bounded creator workflow. Buy Pro when the composition itself becomes an asset you must own.
