Lyria API: Google's Music Model, Prices and Limits

Rules Google applies
Every Lyria track carries an inaudible SynthID watermark that identifies it as AI-made. Google blocks prompts that ask for a specific artist's voice or for copyrighted lyrics, and the Gemini API has no free tier for Lyria.

Music under a video on Reviral
Reviral is a video tool, not a music API. In Cinema Studio you can add your own MP3 or WAV as a reference to Seedance 2.5, up to 10 audio files, so the motion follows your track, or choose Veo 3.1, which makes the sound with the picture; an 8-second Veo 3.1 Fast clip costs 24 credits (~$0.30).
