Can I download my songs from Udio?

Not right now. Udio turned off downloads for every plan, and its terms say you may not download copies of anything it makes. Chillframe lets you export every video you make.

Can I use Udio music on YouTube?

Not under Udio's current terms. They limit its songs to personal, non-commercial use and name YouTube as a platform you can't post them to. Chillframe videos are yours to post and monetize on every plan.

On Udio, Udio and its licensors own what it makes. On Chillframe, you own the videos, and the music in each one comes with a license that never runs out.

Can I make money from Chillframe videos?

Yes, on every plan. You own the videos Chillframe makes and can monetize them through the YouTube Partner Program.

Which one costs less?

Udio. Standard is $10 a month, or $8 a month billed yearly. But under its current terms, its songs can't go on a YouTube channel. Chillframe plans start at $19 a month and cover the music, the scenes, the video and the posting.

Chillframe vs Udio
