Doseedo vs ElevenLabs
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. ElevenLabs Music (video to music) is ElevenLabs' music model, whose video-to-music feature and API generate a track, and sound effects, for an uploaded video. 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
ElevenLabs reads a video and generates a mixed track for it, planned by section, with stems separated afterwards and millisecond-range inpainting to change a stretch. Doseedo writes the score as parts, one stem and one MIDI file per part, on a tempo map that puts the hits on downbeats, and delivers the film with an M&E and a DAW session. ElevenLabs is the broader developer API; for film and TV its self-serve terms exclude the use, and Doseedo's do not.
Side by side
| Doseedo | ElevenLabs Music (video to music) | |
|---|---|---|
| Watches your cut | Yes. Every cut to the frame, every scene change, camera movement and where people talk; MP4, MOV, M4V, WebM or MKV up to 2 GB | Yes. "Analyzes motion, color, pacing, and scene structure"; API up to 600 seconds and 200 MB |
| Lands on the cuts | Yes. A tempo map puts each hit on a downbeat; frames you mark with M become downbeats | Partly. "Tighter timing around cuts, transitions"; precise timing is claimed for sound effects |
| You control the notes | Yes. Its composer writes every part as notes; over MCP your agent writes them; MIDI and MusicXML play too | No. No notes or MIDI; a composition plan by section |
| An instrument per part | Yes. More than 60 instrument models, one per part, each checked against its notes | Not stated. Instruments are described in text per section |
| Stems: native per part, separated, or a mix | Yes. Native: every part is its own render and stem, with its MIDI | Partly. Separated after the fact (2 or 6 stems); music and effects as separate files |
| On the picture: printmaster, M&E, ducking | Yes. The scored film, a 24-bit printmaster, an M&E, dialogue / music / effects stems and a cue sheet; ducked under dialogue; −23, −16 or −14 LUFS | Partly. The editor exports the video and keeps or replaces its audio; ducking, M&E and loudness not stated |
| DAW project | Yes. Logic Pro, Ableton Live or REAPER, one button on the delivery at no credits; the film on a video track in Logic Pro and REAPER | Not stated. Not stated |
| Revise one part or bar, or regenerate | Yes. One part, one bar range or one cue; every other part keeps its take | Partly. Section or millisecond-range inpainting, not by bar |
| Agent access (MCP or API) | Yes. A hosted MCP server: the same loop from ChatGPT or Claude | Yes. A public API on paid plans, and an open-source MCP server with video to music |
| Rights on the free tier | Yes. You own what you make on every plan (Terms §6.3); uploads are not trained on (§6.2) | No. Free: non-commercial, attribution, downloads "Not permitted"; film, TV and radio only on Enterprise Music |
| Price per minute of score | $0.12 a minute for up to six parts; a mid-size orchestra is 60 to 140 credits a minute, $0.36 to $0.84 (Pro, $12 for 2,000 credits) | $0.18 a minute (Starter, $6 a month for about 33 minutes); film use needs Enterprise pricing |
| Free to try | The first film score is free (300 credits, verified email); then 120 credits a month | 10,000 credits, personal use only |
On the comparison's scoring (1 for documented, ½ for part of it, reading the cut and landing on it counted double), Doseedo scores 12 of 12 and ElevenLabs 5.5. The full ranking shows every tool on the same columns.
Where ElevenLabs is the better choice
The broadest music API: composition plans, millisecond inpainting, stems, video to music with sound effects. Choose it when you are building an app on an API, or need sound effects and voice from the same vendor, and the use is not film or TV.
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).
