Stab Cloud plans

Stab Cloud keeps your songs online, on every device and the web, with their history, share links and published pages. A free account comes with Stab Cloud’s free plan; the Stab Cloud subscription lifts its limits, and while it runs it also unlocks every Stab app you sign in to, so you don’t need a licence as well. Both are for people 15 and over; Stab itself works without an account.

Stab Cloud plans

Available on every platform.

Free and Stab Cloud

A free account’s three cloud songs are part of your three free songs, with the ones on your devices. Songs in Stab Cloud’s Trash count among them until they’re deleted for good: emptying the Trash (Delete All in Recently Deleted) frees their places. A desktop licence unlocks the songs on your devices, but doesn’t change Stab Cloud’s plan: a licensed account still holds three cloud songs.

What the subscription gives

• Stab unlocked wherever you sign in. Every tool, on as many songs as you like, on this device and in the cloud, in the apps for Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android, with or without a licence. Your cloud songs work offline in the apps.
• The web editor at app.stab.audio, without the free plan’s limit.
• The plan’s room in the table above.
• More people in Play Together: a session you host takes up to seven people (free, it takes one).
• 600 credits a month for the Assistant. They’re spent before any you bought, and what’s left doesn’t carry over to the next month. See Credits.
• Connect an AI app in Stab on your computer, as a licence gives it: see the Assistant.

The subscription works on every platform you sign in on, whichever store you bought it through. If a device can’t reach Stab Cloud for a while, it keeps the last plan it saw until about a week after the paid period ends. A licence and the subscription work together: holding both, only the plan’s limits apply.

If Stab Cloud was given to you, the home’s Stab Cloud card says until when. It ends by itself and nothing is charged; when it ends, your account goes back to the free plan, as when Stab Cloud ends.
