“You'll get 4 different 45-second previews in about 5 minutes.”
Hear it before you pay
You hear a sample before you pay. Free 45-second previews before paying; the full 3–4 minute song unlocks after payment. The site contradicts itself on how many previews: the create page says '2 free previews at the end', the homepage FAQ says '4 different 45-second previews'.
“Listen to 45-second previews completely free”
What arrives

Voice input

“Choose the musical style, voice, and share details about the special person.”
Revisions
No revision policy stated on the site. The help page lists 'I paid for a song but I want to add or modify lyrics' and 'There's a pronunciation issue with a name in my song' as support topics. Terms: full refund within 14 days only in listed cases (the list did not render) and 'Refunds are not granted for personal preferences regarding musical style or generated lyrics.' On Trustpilot the company replied it will 'happily remake more full songs for you, until you are 100% satisfied'.
“Refunds are not granted for personal preferences regarding musical style or generated lyrics.”
Streaming release
Not stated. One Trustpilot reviewer (Apr 2026) says they 'purchased the bit at a later date so it goes on Spotify etc' and it was still processing three months later; that is a reviewer's claim, not a site offer.
