A Boomy alternative you actually own
Boomy made “generate music in 30 seconds” feel accessible — that’s genuinely worth something. The tradeoff is on the back end: a royalty share if you distribute through them, audio quality that’s ahead of 2021 but well behind current models, and very little control over what gets generated. Cadence AI is built for the producer who outgrew that tradeoff.
You keep 100% of every track
Cadence’s commercial license (included on every paid plan from $24/mo) covers monetized videos, ads, podcasts, games, and client work — and there’s no royalty share. If you upload to Spotify, YouTube, or your own album page, you keep the revenue. No distribution lock-in, no “we own a piece of every track you make” clause.
Real stems, not a baked clip
Every Cadence track ships with separated stems — vocals, drums, bass, and melody — inside a live mixer with EQ, reverb, and sections. Mute the vocal, swap the singer, re-roll the chorus, drop the bass for a breakdown. None of that is possible with Boomy’s fixed-clip output.

Where Boomy still wins — honestly
Boomy’s easiest sell is the distribution flow: generate, click, it shows up on streaming platforms. If you don’t care about audio quality, want zero editing, and like the royalty-share model, Boomy gets you there. Cadence isn’t trying to be that path — it’s for the moment you decide you want to grow past it.
Who switches to Cadence
Independent artists building a catalog under their own name. Content creators tired of distribution-share deals. Podcasters and YouTubers who need a track that fits a specific length and BPM. Anyone who tried Boomy, hit the quality or licensing wall, and started searching for an alternative that respects ownership.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Cadence AI a Boomy alternative?
- Yes. Cadence generates AI music from a prompt like Boomy, but ships separated stems, a live mixer, voice swap, and a clean commercial license — and you keep 100% of every track with no royalty share on distribution.
- Do I keep the royalties if I publish a Cadence track?
- Yes. Cadence's commercial license on paid plans covers commercial use including monetized streaming, YouTube, ads, podcasts, and games. There is no royalty share and no distribution-tie-in.
- Is the audio quality better than Boomy?
- Cadence uses current-generation models with separated-stem output, which generally produces noticeably better-sounding tracks than Boomy's fixed-clip pipeline. The bigger difference is post-generation control: stems, mixer, voice swap, and section re-rolls.
- Can I publish to Spotify or Apple Music?
- Yes — paid plans include commercial license for streaming distribution. You publish through your own distributor (e.g. DistroKid, Tunecore) and keep 100% of the revenue. Cadence does not take a royalty share.
- How much does Cadence cost compared to Boomy?
- Cadence is free to start with 5 generations a month. Creator at $24/mo includes 30 generations and full commercial license. Boomy's tiers vary but typically come with a royalty share on distributed tracks — Cadence does not.
