Mureka 9.5 API Pricing: $0.3215 per Song

On HiAPI, Mureka 9.5 costs a flat $0.3215 per song — 643 credits, the same for a full vocal song on lyrics-to-song and for an instrumental track. Lyric length and output length do not change the price. $10 buys about 31 songs, enough to run one set of lyrics through several style directions and both vocal genders.

What does one song cost?

Item	Value
Price per generation (both routes)	$0.3215
Credits	643 (2,000 credits = $1)
Songs per $10	about 31
New-account credits	200 credits = $0.10, not enough for one song

Billing is per successful generation; failed tasks are refunded automatically, and neither lyric length nor output duration adds to the price.

First test budget: $10, about 31 songs. Getting from finished lyrics to a version you actually keep usually takes two or three style passes plus a male/female comparison. Thirty-one songs covers that.

What does a batch of songs cost?

Songs	Budget
10	$3.215
100	$32.15
1,000	$321.5

Both routes share the price, so mixing vocal songs and instrumentals still adds up per track. For a playlist or a series of short videos, multiply the number of tracks by $0.3215.

Why does per-second math not apply here?

Mureka 9.5 has no duration parameter. The model decides how long the track runs from the lyric structure and the style direction. The three vocal cases on the model pages run 1:49, 3:02 and 3:30; the three instrumentals run 3:12, 3:08 and 3:03. All six cost $0.3215.

City Night Drive runs 1:49 for $0.3215 — listen to the full track. The same charge also returns a 3:30 song.

That means you never shorten a song to save money. A full three-and-a-half-minute track and a ninety-second sketch bill the same. Only per-second routes need length budgeting; with Mureka 9.5 you count tracks.

How does it compare with other music models on HiAPI?

Model	HiAPI price	Billing unit
Mureka 9.5 (lyrics-to-song / instrumental)	$0.3215	per generation
MiniMax Music 2.6	$0.21	per song
MiniMax Music 1.5	$0.07	per song
MiniMax Music 3	$0.0026	per second
Lyria 3 Pro	$0.14	per song
Lyria 3.5	$0.09	per song

The units differ, so convert before comparing: what does one finished song or one usable score cost in total? Per-song routes give you that number directly. MiniMax Music 3 bills by output second, so decide how long the cue needs to be first.

Pick by output, not by price alone. If you write your own lyrics and need a full vocal song, Mureka 9.5 and MiniMax Music 2.6 are the two to compare — see the side-by-side run in Mureka 9.5 vs MiniMax Music 2.6.

Which route should you use?

Lyrics to song: lyrics required (1–5,000 characters), optional prompt (1–2,000 characters) for genre, mood, instruments, tempo and vocal character, optional gender of female or male. One finished vocal song per request.
Instrumental: prompt only (1–1,024 characters). No sung vocals, no duration parameter.
Same price, same endpoint. Model IDs are mureka-9.5/lyrics-to-song and mureka-9.5/instrumental.

Start with the smallest possible input: one style direction plus a short lyric, or one instrumental description. The style direction below, paired with the lyrics underneath it, returns the full 3:44 (223.7 seconds) version:

Warm indie-folk song with a gentle female lead vocal, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft brushed drums and a light string pad, unhurried, hopeful early-morning mood.

[Verse 1]
Streetlights hum along the empty lane
Coffee steam is drawing on the pane
Every window holds a quiet room
Every quiet room is waking soon
[Chorus]
Morning comes in slow
Like a song we used to know
Hold the light a little longer
Let the city find its glow
