Soundraw vs Mubert: Stems, WAV Downloads and Free Plans Compared
Soundraw scores 57 and Mubert 47 under our export-first method. Soundraw wins on stems; Mubert wins on its free allowance and on how fully it states distribution rules.
Verdict first. Under our method, Soundraw scores 57 out of 100 and Mubert scores 47. The basis is the export and rights fields on each vendor’s pricing page, read on 2026-10-16. Soundraw is the stronger pick for a paid producer who needs stems and WAV files in one download list. Mubert is the stronger pick for someone who needs a free plan with downloads and a clear statement of what the output may not be used for. The comparison covers export and rights only. It does not cover vocal songs or audio quality. Here “free” means a vendor’s free plan, not royalty-free, and a “track” is one finished audio file the tool produces.
The scorecard
Each row uses only fields stated on the official pricing page read on 2026-10-16. The weights are the published method weights.
| Dimension | Weight | Soundraw | Mubert | What the page says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D8 free-tier allowance | 20% | 0 | 50 | Soundraw lists no free plan. Mubert lists 25 tracks a month and 5 downloads, without a card statement |
| D5 stem export | 25% | 100 | 0 | Soundraw lists downloadable stems on Artist Pro and Artist Unlimited. Mubert lists stem regeneration and removal in its editor, with no stem file |
| D9 export formats | 20% | 100 | 100 | Soundraw lists wav on Artist Pro. Mubert lists lossless WAV on Creator and above |
| D10 local or open-source | 15% | 0 | 0 | Both are hosted services with no local option on the page |
| D11 distribution disclosure | 10% | 50 | 100 | Soundraw states streaming distribution on Creator, with no Content ID line. Mubert bars streaming and Content ID registration |
| D6 commercial-rights tier | 10% | 70 | 70 | Soundraw lists commercial use on paid plans. Mubert lists commercial usage on Pro; its disclaimer bars sale, so the line is in conflict (see below) |
| Total | 100 | 57 | 47 |
Soundraw’s Creator plan costs $16.99 a month, or $11.04 a month billed yearly. Its Artist Pro costs $35.99 a month, or $23.39 billed yearly, and Artist Unlimited costs $50 a month, or $32.50 billed yearly. Mubert’s Creator costs $14 a month, or $11.69 billed yearly, and its Pro costs $39 a month, or $32.49 billed yearly. Price does not enter the score, so these figures are context only.
Where Soundraw pulls ahead
The stem line is the largest gap. Soundraw’s Artist Pro and Artist Unlimited plans list the download formats as mp3, wav, stems. That gives a paid user a finished file, a lossless file and the separate parts of the track in one list. Mubert’s stem features are real, but they are controls inside its editor. The page does not describe a stem file leaving the service, so the method scores that row at zero.
On format the two are tied. Each lists lossless WAV on a paid tier and keeps MP3 on the cheaper plan. The difference is which tier holds the WAV line, which matters for a budget, not for the product’s quality.
Where Mubert pulls ahead
Mubert has the free allowance. Its Ambassador plan gives 25 tracks a month with 5 downloads, which is a usable trial for one project, although the output is MP3 and non-commercial. Soundraw has no free plan, so it loses the full 20 points in that dimension.
Mubert also states its distribution rules more fully. Its disclaimer covers streaming platforms, Content ID registration and sale, which earns 100 on D11. Soundraw’s Creator plan permits distribution to streaming services, a clear statement, but it names no Content ID rule. A page that states one rule and stays silent on the other scores 50.
The Mubert page also lists “Commercial Usage” on Pro. Its disclaimer says tracks cannot be sold or commercially distributed. The page does not reconcile the two. This comparison keeps Mubert’s Pro at 70 on D6, as the method does, and flags the conflict for review rather than resolving it.
Who each product suits
A paid producer who wants stems and WAV in one download list fits Soundraw’s Artist Pro page. The cost is real, and there is no free tier to try it first.
A creator who wants to start at no cost, and whose use is strictly non-commercial, fits Mubert’s free plan. The output stays MP3. Any move toward monetization means Pro, and Pro’s commercial line sits beside a disclaimer that bars sale, so read its terms before you monetize.
Anyone planning to publish to streaming services should read the licence text of whichever product they choose, not the feature list. Mubert’s disclaimer bars streaming. Soundraw’s Creator page lists distribution to streaming services, and its terms should be checked for any further conditions.
What the scores leave out
The scores measure export and rights fields. They do not measure how either tool sounds, how well a prompt is followed, or how easily the editor works. This comparison does not include any listening or output check.
Evidence and method
Sources: the Soundraw pricing page and the Mubert pricing page, both read on 2026-10-16 from the official sites. The method page lists each rule behind the numbers. Limits: pricing and terms change, the Soundraw licence detail pages were not opened for this comparison, and a line missing from a page is scored as missing, not as a prohibition. This comparison is not legal advice, so read each licence before you publish a track. The full ranking is on the home page.
FAQ
Which scores higher under the method?
Soundraw scores 57 out of 100 and Mubert scores 47. The 10-point gap is net. Stem export adds 25 points for Soundraw, Mubert takes back 10 on its free allowance, and Mubert takes back 5 on its fuller distribution statement.
Does Mubert's free plan allow commercial use?
No. The Ambassador plan is labelled Non-Commercial, and the disclaimer on the pricing page says tracks cannot be sold or commercially distributed. Commercial usage starts on Pro, although the same disclaimer still bars sale.
Why does Soundraw get only 50 on distribution if it allows streaming?
The distribution score measures how completely a page states the rule. Soundraw states the streaming line on Creator but does not state a Content ID line, so it earns 50. That is a disclosure score, not a verdict that the service forbids anything.
