Provider costs and privacy

With the one-time licence, you pay your provider for what you use, based on the model you pick and how much music you ask for. This page explains what that costs and where your key and music go.

What you pay your provider

Each request costs a small amount, depending on the model and the size of the beat. Most cost a few cents or less. Smaller models are cheaper; larger ones usually write more musical parts.

These cost nothing, because MIDI Genie does them on your computer:

• changing a sound, the tempo or the key
• renaming, muting or deleting parts
• anything you do in the piano roll

See what a session has cost

The top bar shows an estimate for the current session, such as ~$0.04. Hover over it to see the details. It's worked out from providers' list prices, so your provider's bill is the final word.

Keep costs down

• Use Fast in Options for quick sketches.
• Set Check and revise to fewer passes, since each pass is another request.
• Aim changes at one track with @, so only that part is rewritten.
• Set a monthly spending limit in your provider's dashboard.

Your key and your music

• Your key is kept in your computer's secure store, and only ever sent to your provider.
• Your prompts and files go straight from your computer to the provider you chose, under that provider's terms. We don't receive a copy.
• Your takes are saved on your computer.
