How to choose

How will I use the generated melody?

Start with the workflow you need: compare MIDI export, standalone app availability and VST/AU plugin support. MIDI is a file format for musical notes; a VST or AU plugin works inside compatible music software.

Check chord progression input and chord or scale awareness if you want to guide melodies with harmony.

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a tool that supports the device or operating system you plan to use. The board lists web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android support.

If you move between a browser and a desktop app, check the supported-platform details before choosing.

Can I try it before paying?

Check whether a tool has a free plan or a free trial; they are different options. A trial may be time-limited, while a free plan is listed separately.

Pricing examples include Hookpad at $7.99 per month, Initial Audio AI Melody Generator at $49, and Lemonaide Seeds at $9.99 per month. The listed pricing notes may instead say pricing is on request or provide no paid price.

Can I set the key or scale?

Compare key/scale lock, chord/scale awareness and chord progression input. These are separate controls, so look for the one that matches how much guidance you want to give the generator.
