Doseedo vs AIVA
Published November 2026 · Updated November 5, 2026
Doseedo is an AI film scorer in your browser: upload your film and an AI composer watches the cut, then writes, plays and mixes an original score that lands on the cuts. Every part is its own native stem with its MIDI, so one part, one bar or one cue can be changed without regenerating the rest. AIVA is an AI composer that writes music as MIDI from a style, a preset or an influence you upload, with a piano roll and stems. Both are compared here from their own pages, checked November 5, 2026, with a source for every line.
Your first film score is free: sign up with a verified email and it is on us, up to 300 credits.
The difference
AIVA writes in notes too, and its MIDI can be imported, edited and regenerated by section or layer, which makes it the closest prompt tool to a composer's workflow. But it never sees your film: you choose a style and a length, then fit the result to the picture yourself. Doseedo watches the cut and writes to it, lands the hits on downbeats, plays every part as its own stem, mixes the score under the dialogue and delivers the film with an M&E and a DAW session. On AIVA the copyright passes to you on Pro only; on Doseedo you own what you make on every plan.

Where AIVA is the better choice
Composition in notes: MIDI in and out, a piano roll, an instrument per layer, more than 250 styles. Choose it when you want orchestral MIDI sketches to edit yourself, and will fit them to the picture by hand.
Where Doseedo is
- The music has to follow this cut. Every cut is found to the frame and the hits land on downbeats; frames you mark become downbeats.
- You will give notes. Every part is its own stem with its notes, so "the horns in bar 12" re-plays only those bars of that part.
- Someone will finish it in a DAW. The whole score opens in Logic Pro, Ableton Live or REAPER, every part a track with its audio and MIDI. See the session.
- It has to be delivered. The scored film, a printmaster, an M&E and a cue sheet, at broadcast, streaming or web loudness.
- You want to own it from the free plan. Your first film score is free with a verified email, and you own what you make on every plan (Terms §6.3).
What it costs
Your first film score is free. A free account with a verified email gets a one-time 300 credits for its first score, on top of the 120 a month, and the composer plans that score to fit them, so a long film is scored where it matters most.
After that, watching the film, mixing and delivery stay free. The performances use credits, like any render on Doseedo: 10 credits for every 30 seconds of music for each group of up to six parts, and a flat 20 to split the film's own soundtrack. A one-minute scene with a mid-size orchestra is usually 60 to 140 credits; the panel shows the estimate for your film before you start, beside what you have left.
A free account comes with 120 credits a month. Pro is $12 a month with 2,000. You own what you make, to the extent the law allows (Terms §6.3).

Does AIVA give stems and MIDI?
Stems: Native: stems rendered from its own MIDI, grouped by instrument, section or layer. Notes: Imports any MIDI file into its piano roll; orchestrated and reduced MIDI out.
