The short version The pricing model has not moved on the continuum over the window.
The verdict
Udio was and remains a hard-allotment product. The subscription has held steady at Standard $10/mo and Pro $30/mo, with monthly credits as a non-rolling ceiling — run out and you're blocked until reset, with no auto-billed overage above the allotment. The only material change in the window was a capacity bump tied to the Universal Music Group licensing deal: per a February 17, 2026 help article, Standard rose 1,200 to 2,400 and Pro 4,800 to 6,000 credits/mo, plus a one-time 1,000-credit grant, while downloads were disabled. Dollar prices and the hard-ceiling mechanic were untouched. Non-expiring a-la-carte top-up packs are the only relief valve — the classic buy-another-pack hard stop.
