StemForge vs Moises vs LALAL.AI

You're producing. You need stems. Here's the actual difference between the three tools producers use most — features, pricing, and what each one can't do.

Only on StemForge

6-Stem Drum Separation

Every other tool gives you a single "drums" stem. StemForge goes further — break that drum stem into six individual components, all in the same browser session. No other web-based separator does this.

Questions
Frequently Asked
Is StemForge really free to use without an account?
Yes. Open /app, upload your audio, and get stems — no sign-up, no email, no credit card. The free tier has a daily usage limit per IP. Pro removes it for $9/month.
What makes StemForge's drum separation different?
After the standard 4-stem separation, StemForge runs a second AI pass on the drums stem using the SFXMR model to isolate kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, ride, and cymbals as individual audio files. Moises and LALAL.AI both deliver a single combined drums stem with no further breakdown.
Which is more accurate — StemForge or LALAL.AI?
StemForge uses Meta's open-source Demucs model, which benchmarks competitively on standard stem separation tasks. LALAL.AI uses a proprietary model. Accuracy varies by track genre and production style — for most hip-hop, pop, and electronic music, results are comparable.
Does StemForge have a mobile app?
Not yet — StemForge is web-only. If you need iOS or Android, Moises is the better choice. For desktop workflows where drum precision matters, StemForge is the pick.
How does StemForge Pro compare in price?
StemForge Pro is $9/month for unlimited separations. Moises ranges from $4–$25/month depending on usage tier. LALAL.AI starts at around $15/month. For frequent use with drum detail needs, StemForge is the lowest cost-per-stem option.
