Why Abandoned
Humtap's consumer app and original website no longer present a clearly maintained product, while the company behind it rebranded as MWM and moved toward enterprise generative media. A definitive official shutdown date could not be verified.

Suno
🟢ActiveSuno launched in late 2023 as a text-to-song generator that creates full vocal tracks with melody, lyrics, and instrumentation from short prompts. It raised $125M at a $500M valuation in May 2024 and crossed 12M users by mid-2024. In June 2024 the RIAA sued Suno (and competitor Udio) for copyright infringement on behalf of Sony, Universal, and Warner. The product keeps shipping new versions and signups remain open while the litigation runs.
Udio
🟢ActiveUdio launched in April 2024 from ex-DeepMind researchers and raised $10M from a16z, will.i.am, and Common. It generates studio-quality vocal tracks from text prompts and quickly became Suno's closest competitor. The RIAA sued Udio in June 2024 over alleged training on copyrighted recordings. Despite the litigation, Udio has continued shipping new models, including v1.5 with full-song generation and remixing.
