Boomy is one of the oldest AI music tools you can use without any musical training. You pick a style, it generates a song in seconds, and you can release the result to streaming services from the same account. That mix of creation and distribution is what made Boomy popular, and it is also what got it into trouble in 2023.
This Boomy AI review covers how the tool works, what it costs, how the royalty split works, what went wrong with Spotify, and who should still consider it. If you are comparing music generators, our guides to Google's Lyria 3 Pro and to Suno and Higgsfield for AI music videos are useful next reads.
What Is Boomy AI?
Boomy is an AI music generation platform launched in the United States in 2019. Select a genre or mood, and the system composes the piece; you can edit and record vocals before putting it up for streaming. Boomy says it is compatible with 40+ platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok.
The fact that Boomy has been very good at claiming huge volumes as well. Its own website in May 2023 claimed that users have produced 14.4 million songs, numbering 13.78% of the world's recorded music. If it's Boomy's marketing number for 2023, it's not a stand-alone number, and that's how it uses it to explain the number.
How Boomy Works?
You pick a style (lo-fi, hip-hop, electronic, or ambient) and Boomy builds a complete track. Only then can things be altered, such as tempo, instrumentation, and structure – and if you have one, you can layer in your own vocals!
The cost to you is control. You're not creating a song from scratch; two people creating the same style can often be in the same area. It's OK for background music and for brief demos, but it's not OK when you're looking for something unique.
Boomy Pricing
Boomy has a free tier and paid plans, and the exact limits have changed several times. The Creator plan is $9.99/month, and the Pro plan is $29.99/month, according to the listings from 2025. Before you buy anything, see the plans page of Boomy's official site.
It's not just about the price tag but what each plan allows you to do. The download formats and release limits will be the paid portion.
Royalties and Distribution
Boomy's share of streaming royalties is taken from your Boomy track. A comparison published by a third party reports that you receive 80 per cent and Boomy keeps 20 per cent. Boomy's terms are the final word, so confirm the split on its site.
Be realistic about the income. Reviewers consistently note that streaming royalties on AI-generated music are very low unless you put real effort into promotion. Boomy gets you onto the platforms quickly. It does not get you listeners.
The 2023 Spotify Removals
In May 2023, Spotify removed a batch of Boomy tracks and stopped accepting new releases from the service for a time. According to the Financial Times, nearly 7 per cent of the tracks Boomy had uploaded to Spotify were taken down, which was described as tens of thousands of songs.
The reason is often misreported. Spotify said it acted on artificial streaming, meaning bots inflating play counts, and told Music Ally that tracks were removed because of that activity, not because the music was AI-generated. Boomy said it opposes any manipulation of streams and began resubmitting tracks. You can read the original reporting from Music Ally and Music Business Worldwide.
The episode is worth knowing about because it shows the main risk of AI music at scale: when anyone can release thousands of tracks, streaming services get strict about abuse.
Boomy vs Suno and Other Alternatives
The two big differences are distribution and audio quality. Boomy handles releasing to streaming platforms for you. Suno puts more weight on how the music sounds, and one comparison reports that Suno V5 outputs 44.1 kHz audio that clearly beats Boomy's quality. With Suno, you also need a separate distributor if you want to release music.
Tool | Strength | Trade-off |
Boomy | Create and release in one place | Less control over the sound; Boomy keeps a share of royalties |
Suno | Higher audio quality and more control | You arrange distribution yourself |
Soundful | Royalty-free tracks for content creators | Built around background music, not artist releases |
If you mainly need background music for videos, a royalty-free generator may suit you better than a release platform. For voice work rather than music, see our guide to MiniMax Audio.
Limitations to Know About
Sound variety: Generated tracks can feel repetitive, and some genres are handled better than others.
Creative control: You steer a generated track instead of building one from nothing.
Low royalties: Releasing is easy, but earning real money from AI tracks is hard.
Rights and copyright: The rules around AI music keep changing. Our overview of the AI copyright debate explains why you should read the license terms for anything you plan to sell.
Who Should Use Boomy?
Boomy suits beginners who want to try AI music, creators who need quick background tracks, and hobbyists who like the idea of releasing something under their own name. It suits professional producers and serious artists less, because they will want more control and better audio.
Conclusion
Boomy is a quick, low-effort way to make and release AI music, and it is a fair first tool if you are curious. It will not replace a producer, and the money in AI streaming is small. Try the free plan, read the royalty and rights terms, and decide from there.
