Ask how much a custom song costs and you will get answers ranging from €5 to €300 and beyond. The spread is not random: it reflects three very different ways of making the same thing, and the price mostly follows who holds the microphone.
Three families of service, three budgets
- Bespoke human work: a songwriter writes and records your song. Expect upwards of €150, often a good deal more, with delivery taking days or weeks.
- Self-serve generation tools: you write the lyrics yourself and drive the machine. The cost is low, sometimes nothing, but all the work stays on your plate.
- Done-for-you with AI: you tell the story, the service writes, composes and delivers. That is where Tubissime sits, between €5 and €13 depending on the plan.
What the price actually covers
A high price buys human hours: an interview, the writing, a studio vocal take, rounds of revisions. That is irreplaceable when you want a named artist with their own signature on the track.
A low price does not buy less song: it buys fewer hours. So the useful question is not why so expensive or why so cheap, but rather: what do I receive at the end, and how soon.
Delivery time, the forgotten variable
This is what usually decides it. A song written by an artist takes time, and rush delivery is billed as an extra. If the party is on Saturday and today is Thursday, half the market becomes irrelevant regardless of price.
Delivery in minutes changes the nature of the gift entirely: you can decide the night before, listen, and start again if the result does not land.
The extras that push the bill up
- Rush fees, sometimes as expensive as the song itself.
- Revisions billed one by one when the lyrics miss the mark.
- A file delivered with no clear usage rights, or at reduced quality.
- Options that look included and are not: cover art, karaoke, download.
How to decide without regret
Work backwards from the end: your date, your budget, and what the person will actually receive. If a service will not let you hear a complete example before paying, that is an answer in itself.
At Tubissime the demo is public: the whole song, synced karaoke and cover art, with no account and no payment. That tells you more about value for money than any pricing table.
