Doseedo vs Sonilo
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. Sonilo is a web app and API that generates a soundtrack 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
Sonilo and Doseedo both read a video and return it with music on it. Sonilo generates one mixed track, with sound effects if you want them, and can split that track afterwards into drums, bass, vocals and other; you steer it with prompts per timestamp. Doseedo writes the score as parts, plays each part as its own stem with its notes, and delivers the film with a printmaster, an M&E, a cue sheet and a DAW session; a note on one part or one bar re-plays only that. Sonilo is quicker for a short bed with effects; Doseedo is for a score you keep editing.
Side by side
| Doseedo | Sonilo | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. Reads "scene changes, cuts, pacing, reveals, dialogue"; Free 3 minutes, Pro 8, Premium 30 (its homepage FAQ says "the visuals only") |
| Lands on the cuts | Yes. A tempo map puts each hit on a downbeat; frames you mark with M become downbeats | Partly. Changes "land on your scene changes"; "does not mean every beat must hit every visual event" |
| 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; per-timestamp prompts |
| An instrument per part | Yes. More than 60 instrument models, one per part, each checked against its notes | No. The prompt sets the instrumentation for the whole track |
| 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: drums, bass, vocals and other |
| 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 scored MP4 with "Preserve speech" ducking; M&E and loudness targets 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 | No. No DAW export; a Premiere Pro plugin |
| Revise one part or bar, or regenerate | Yes. One part, one bar range or one cue; every other part keeps its take | Partly. Regenerates a section or a timestamp with a direction; no part or note editing |
| Agent access (MCP or API) | Yes. A hosted MCP server: the same loop from ChatGPT or Claude | Yes. A REST API and a hosted MCP server |
| 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, credited "Music by Sonilo"; film, TV and broadcast need Premium; §6.3 licenses training on uploads |
| 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) | $0.41 a minute (Pro, $14.99 a month for about 37 minutes); $0.32 billed yearly; API $0.54 |
| Free to try | The first film score is free (300 credits, verified email); then 120 credits a month | 2,000 credits every two weeks, about 111 seconds of music, non-commercial |
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 Sonilo 5.5. The full ranking shows every tool on the same columns.
Where Sonilo is the better choice
Music, sound effects and speech-preserving ducking from one upload, a hosted MCP and API, and a licensed-training story. Choose it when you need a finished bed with sound effects on a short social or product video in a minute, and will not edit it part by part.
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).
