1 to 190 seconds. You choose the length before you press go, and the price follows it.

How is it different from Stable Audio 3 Medium and Stable Audio 3 Small SFX?

Stable Audio 2.5: Instrumental music and sound up to three minutes long. Stable Audio 3 Medium: Stereo music up to six minutes long, trained on licensed data. Stable Audio 3 Small SFX: A small, fast sound-effects model, trained on licensed data. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.

How much does a run cost?

A track costs $0.27. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.

Is Stable Audio 2.5 free to try?

No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.27 (a track), so $5 covers 18 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.

Can I use what I make commercially?

Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.

Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as stability-ai/stable-audio-2.5, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.

Do I need a Stability AI account?

No. Leap sends your request to Stability AI's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Stable Audio 2.5 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
