About Riffusion
Riffusion started out as an independent AI music project, but if you visit flowmusic.app today, the page tells a different story about who's behind it. The site is branded Google Flow Music, it runs on Google's Lyria 3.5 music model, and its video tool uses Google's Veo. The scraped page doesn't explain how or when the Riffusion name gave way to Google branding, so we won't guess. What's clear is that the product you're signing up for is now a Google-backed music studio, not a scrappy side project.
That shift shows up in how much the tool is trying to do. The core is still song generation: you chat with a "Producer" the way you'd talk to someone in a real studio, and it builds full-length tracks with vocals. Around that, Google has bolted on music video creation with Veo, a "Vibe-code" area where you can build audio plugins, music games or custom DAWs in your own space, plus remixing, stem splitting, audio effects and a social layer for publishing songs and following artists. The onboarding asks whether you're a video creator, an artist, a producer or just here for fun, which tells you who they're courting: everyone.
Pricing is friendly at the bottom. The Free plan costs $0 with daily top-up credits, 2 concurrent generations and all core features, and no credit card is required to start. Paid plans run $6, $18 and $48 a month for 3,000, 10,000 and 30,000 credits, which the page pegs at roughly 600, 2,000 and 6,000 songs. If you want a song generator with video and coding tools attached, it's one of the more ambitious options out there. If you need clear answers on licensing or a long track record under this brand, the page doesn't give you much to go on yet.
Key features
Chat with Producer
You describe what you want in a chat interface that's pitched as working with a producer in a studio, and it generates full-length songs with vocals.
Lyria 3.5 music model
Generation runs on Lyria 3.5, which the site calls its latest frontier music model, available on every plan including Free.
AI music videos with Veo
The video tool uses Google's Veo model so you can direct characters and aesthetics for a music video without a camera crew.
Vibe-code spaces
You get your own space, like flowmusic.app/space/piano, where you can build audio plugins, music games or custom DAWs by describing them.
Remix, stems and effects
You can remix your own audio, split tracks into stems, apply audio effects and download in mp3, wav or m4a.
Publishing and playlists
There's a built-in social layer where you can publish songs, create playlists, follow artists and discover new music daily.
Best for
- hobbyists making songs just for fun
- video creators who need custom background tracks
- singers who want backing tracks for their own vocals
- tinkerers who want to vibe-code music toys and plugins
- heavy generators who'll use hundreds of songs a month
Skip if
- Skip this if you need clear commercial licensing terms upfront, since the scraped pages don't mention rights or usage for the songs you generate.
- Skip this if you want to buy credits without subscribing, because extra credit packs are only available on paid plans while your subscription is active.
- Skip this if you want a focused, single-purpose tool, since songs, videos, coding and a social feed all compete for space in one product.
Pros & cons
Pros
- The free tier is real: $0, no credit card, daily top-up credits and all core features including Lyria models and downloads.
- Paid credits are cheap per song: $6 a month gets you 3,000 credits, roughly 600 songs.
- Stem downloads and mp3, wav and m4a exports are listed as included features, which matters if you're taking tracks into a DAW.
- Veo-powered music videos mean you can go from song to video without leaving the app.
- The Vibe-code spaces for building audio plugins and custom DAWs are something you won't find in most song generators.
Cons
- The free plan caps you at 2 concurrent generations versus 8 on Starter, so batch experimenting feels slow.
- The pricing page shows a "Save 25%" label but doesn't make it clear whether the listed $6, $18 and $48 figures reflect monthly or yearly billing.
- Source documentation is thin. There's nothing on licensing, song length limits or how the Riffusion name relates to the Google Flow Music branding.

Frequently asked questions
Is Riffusion the same thing as Google Flow Music?
The listing is Riffusion, but flowmusic.app is now branded Google Flow Music and runs on Google's Lyria 3.5 and Veo models. The site doesn't explain the transition.
How much does it cost?
There's a Free plan at $0, then Starter at $6, Plus at $18 and Member at $48 per month. Paid tiers include 3,000, 10,000 and 30,000 monthly credits respectively.
How many songs can I make on a paid plan?
The pricing page estimates about 600 songs on Starter, 2,000 on Plus and 6,000 on Member, which works out to roughly 5 credits per song. Every plan also gets daily top-up credits.
How does it compare to Suno?
Like Suno, it generates full songs with vocals from prompts, but it adds Veo music videos and Vibe-code spaces for building plugins and music games. Suno is the simpler pick if you only want songs.
Can I export stems for my DAW?
Yes, stem downloads are listed as a feature alongside mp3, wav and m4a exports. That makes it easier to pull tracks into Ableton, Logic or a custom DAW you build in a Space.
How Riffusion compares
Riffusion vs Suno
Suno is the better-known prompt-to-song tool, but Flow Music gives you more beyond the song itself, with Veo videos and coding spaces built in.
Riffusion vs Udio
Udio covers similar full-song generation with vocals, so the choice comes down to whether you value Flow Music's video and remix extras or prefer a narrower music-only tool.
