Free Lyric Generator — What You Get Free and What You Do Not
Quick answer
Melody Genie's free plan gives 14 shared credits per calendar month, with no credit card and no time limit, and the allowance resets on the 1st. The credits spend across almost every tool: a Classic lyric or a Rewrite costs 3, Weak Lines 2, Auto-Lyric 3, Beat Matcher or DNA Mixer 4, Pro 2.0 costs 12, and a full AI song costs 4 — enough for up to 3 full songs, 4 Classic lyrics, or any mix. Manual editing and browsing 100+ artist-inspired profiles are unlimited. The limits worth knowing before signing up: MP3 downloads, commercial use, Speak, the Custom Lyricist builder and the advanced writing controls need a paid plan, free generations run a smaller model than paid plans, and free accounts see sponsored reveal ads.
What exactly is free?
Free includes 14 credits per calendar month, enough for up to 3 full AI songs, 4 Classic 1.0 lyrics, or any mix, with no card required. Manual editing and browsing all 100+ artist-inspired profiles are unlimited and never metered. The allowance resets on the 1st.
Which tools can a free account use?
Almost all of them, spending the same shared credit pool: a Classic lyric or a Rewrite costs 3 credits, Weak Lines costs 2, Auto-Lyric costs 3, Beat Matcher or DNA Mixer costs 4, Pro 2.0 costs 12, and a full AI song costs 4 where available. Only Speak, the Custom Lyricist builder and the advanced writing controls require a paid plan.
What spends credits?
AI actions spend credits from the same pool: Classic 1.0 lyrics cost 3, Pro 2.0 costs 12, a full AI song costs 4 where available, Rewriter costs 3, Weak Lines 2, Auto-Lyric 3, and Beat Matcher or DNA Mixer 4. Editing text by hand, reading artist profiles and keeping drafts cost nothing.
Is the free model the same as the paid one?
No. Free generations run a smaller, faster model; paid plans run a larger one. The artist prompts, originality guard and output contracts are identical, but the engine behind them is not. This is the honest reason the free allowance costs nothing.
Can you get more free credits in a month?
Yes, in limited ways. A useful community action can add 3 credits for that month, and a qualified referral adds 6 credits to both accounts. If your allowance is spent and you return at least seven days after your last generation, a one-time monthly comeback reward can add 3 credits.
