Google Flow Music, formerly Riffusion
Flow Music is Google music product, sitting on the Riffusion domain, and it is the only tool in this category that hands you the output in mp3, wav and m4a plus separated stems on all four plans, free included. It carries no rank in our table because Google publishes no track length and its current model has no row on any leaderboard.
- downloads and stems on every plan
- from $6 a month
- Lyria 3.5 model
Last checked: This is a reference page. It is re-checked against the vendor sources and updated when a new version ships. What changed
How Riffusion became a Google product
Open riffusion.com and what loads is Google Flow Music, and flowmusic.app serves exactly the same page. Two things make that solid rather than a branding guess: the terms link on both domains resolves to policies.google.com, so this product runs under Google own terms of service; and the documentation link goes to support.google.com/flow, an official Google help centre with eight articles.
One older trace is still visible and is interesting in itself: the flowmusic.app sitemap points at the producer.ai domain, and the Artificial Analysis music board still lists FUZZ rows under the creator name Producer.ai. The product moved from a startup into Google without anybody tidying the old names away.
The plans, and how they meet a Google AI subscription
Four plans: Free with daily top-up credits, Starter at $6 with 3,000 monthly credits which they annotate as roughly 600 songs, Plus at $18 with 10,000 and Member at $48 with 30,000. Concurrent generations run 2, 8, 12 and 16 across the same four.
Like Suno pricing page, this one opens on the yearly view with a save 25 percent badge beside it, so paying month to month costs more. The monthly figure itself is not printed and we have not calculated one.
Something the Google help centre states and nobody repeats: if you already pay for Google AI, you do not pay again. AI Plus carries the benefits of the Starter plan, AI Pro those of Plus, and AI Ultra those of Member. For an existing subscriber this tool is effectively already bought.
The thing only this one does
The file. In this category Udio gives you no download at all and Suno caps yours by month; Flow Music offers mp3, wav and m4a on all four plans, offers separated stems too, and the Google help centre even explains selecting several songs to receive them as one zip. For anyone laying music under video, separate stems mean you can pull the drums down without regenerating the whole piece.
It also makes music videos using the Veo model, and has a section called Spaces where you describe an instrument, a game or a plugin and it builds it. Those are documented on their own pages; we have read them, we have not tested them.
Why it carries no rank
Two of the table five columns are empty for it, and the emptiness is not ours. First, nowhere in Google documentation does it say how long a Flow Music song can be. Second, the model its home page announces is Lyria 3.5, and no such row exists on the Artificial Analysis music boards.
We could have lifted the Lyria 3 Pro number and dropped it in here. We did not, because that model is the API one and this is the consumer product, and borrowing a sibling model score is exactly what makes a table quietly untrue. So it goes unranked, with the reason written down.
From Iran
The Google help article says you must be located in one of our supported regions, and that you must be eighteen or over. The link that should list those regions resolves back to the same article. So we know a restriction exists and we do not know what it covers. We have not imported the Gemini country list here either, because that list is about a different product.
Using it from Iran
This column carries a date and says how it was checked, because most listicles guess it. Where we have only read a vendor policy page, the note below says exactly that.
- Reachable
- not checked
- Payment
- not checked
- Free tier
- yes
- Measured on
How we checked: Google own help article says you must be located in one of our supported regions, and the link on that phrase resolves back to the same article. So we know a regional restriction exists and we do not know what is on the list. The country list for Gemini or for the Google API is not the right source for this product and we have not borrowed it.
What it is good at
- Downloads in three formats plus separated stems, on every plan including the free one
- The cheapest entry in this category, and no extra cost at all for Google AI subscribers
- Music videos generated with the Veo model, inside the same workspace
- Official Google documentation, which is scarce in this category
Where it falls short
- No maximum track length is published anywhere.
- Its current model, Lyria 3.5, has no row on any leaderboard, so quality is not comparable.
- The month to month price is not printed and the page defaults to the yearly rate.
- There is a regional restriction and the list of supported regions is not reachable.
- The plans page says nothing about commercial rights to the output.
Our take
If your work is music under video or under a podcast and the file has to be delivered, this is today the only tool that does that on every plan. If you are chasing the best sounding vocal, take the missing rank seriously: no row on a board means nobody outside Google has measured it, not that it is bad.
Questions people actually ask
Is Google Flow Music the same thing as Riffusion
It is the same address. riffusion.com and flowmusic.app serve one app and the terms link on both goes to policies.google.com. The name on the page today is Google Flow Music.
Can you download songs from Flow Music
Yes, in mp3, wav and m4a, with separated stems, on all four plans including the free one. Several songs can also be downloaded together as a zip.
Do I pay again if I already subscribe to Google AI
No. The Google help centre states that AI Plus carries the Starter plan benefits, AI Pro carries the Plus benefits and AI Ultra carries the Member benefits.
