ElevenLabs Launches ElevenMusic IOS App For AI-Generated Music

Expanding Beyond Voice AI

ElevenLabs launched ElevenMusic, an iOS app for AI-generated music, entering the consumer music creation market. The release expands the company’s product suite beyond voice synthesis and positions it against platforms such as Suno and Udio.

A Strategic Counter To Commoditization

ElevenMusic launched on April 1 and allows users to generate up to 7 songs per day using text prompts. The app includes controls for track length, lyrics and writing style. The launch reflects efforts to expand use cases for audio models as competition increases and similar tools become more widely available. Product diversification may support longer-term revenue growth.

Innovative Features And User Engagement

The app includes features for music discovery and playback, alongside content-generation tools. Users can access live stations, curated albums and daily mixes across categories such as Focus, Energy and Chill. Interface elements include charts, trending tracks and new releases, similar to existing streaming platforms. These features aim to increase user retention within the app ecosystem.

Subscription Model And Professional Offerings

ElevenLabs offers a paid tier priced at $9.99 per month or $95.90 per year. Subscribers can generate up to 500 tracks per month and access expanded storage and content options. The pricing model introduces a recurring revenue stream tied to usage volume and feature access. Additional functionality may support professional and commercial use cases.

Consolidating A Market-Leading Vision

ElevenLabs raised $500 million in a Series C round at an $11 billion valuation, according to company disclosures. The company has since expanded its product portfolio across multiple audio formats. Recent initiatives include music generation tools, audiobook services and consumer applications such as ElevenReader. These developments indicate a broader strategy focused on audio-based AI products.

The Road Ahead

Further adoption of ElevenMusic will depend on user growth and engagement across both free and paid tiers. Competition in AI-generated music is increasing as new platforms enter the market. Product performance and monetization metrics will determine the role of music tools within ElevenLabs’ broader business model.

Robust Cyprus Construction Activity Bolsters Vassilico Cement’s 2025 Performance

Vassilico Cement Works Public Company Ltd reported a net profit of €35.52 million for 2025, supported by strong construction activity in Cyprus. Company profit reached €34.99 million, reflecting higher revenues and improved operating performance.

Domestic Market Growth Driven By Cyprus Construction

Group revenue rose to €152.75 million, while company revenue reached €152.66 million, up 11% year on year. Growth was driven by increased sales volumes in the domestic market, where construction activity remained strong throughout the year.

Enhanced Production Efficiency And Cost Management

Gross profit increased to €50.30 million at group level and €50.21 million at company level, compared with €42.49 million in 2024.
