How Much Does a Custom Song Cost in India? Full Pricing Breakdown

The first question in almost every enquiry email we receive is some version of “how much will it cost”. It is a fair question, and the answer should be simple. We are going to lay out our pricing in full, explain exactly what each rupee buys, and compare honestly against the wider market so you know whether ₹1,499 sounds right for what you are imagining.

Our Base Pricing

A custom song from DiCustomSong starts at ₹1,499. That is the full base price, not a misleading “starting from” with hidden upsells.

What that ₹1,499 includes:

• A custom song of two to three minutes
• Your choice of Hindi, English, or Hinglish lyrics
• Male, female, or team’s choice vocals
• Genre from Bollywood, Romantic, Pop, Acoustic, Rock, Classical, Devotional, Folk, Rap, or Jazz
• One lyric revision after the first draft
• Standard delivery in seven days
• A private listening link with lifetime access plus a high-quality MP3 download
• Customer ownership for personal use, with strict confidentiality of your brief

No hidden charges. No “premium quality” upsells for the actual song production.

The Delivery Speed Add-Ons

The only true add-ons we offer are delivery speed upgrades, because faster delivery genuinely costs us more in studio time and producer availability.

• Standard delivery: 7 days, included in the ₹1,499 base. Best for planning ahead.
• Express delivery: 3 days, adds ₹500. Total ₹1,999. Best when you have a week and want some buffer.
• Rush delivery: 24 hours, adds ₹1,000. Total ₹2,499. Best for forgotten anniversaries and last-minute proposals.

The price difference between tiers reflects real production costs. Rush means a vocalist on standby, a producer dropping other work, and a mixing engineer working through the night. The quality stays the same; the schedule changes.

What Is Genuinely Not Included

We want to be upfront about what the base price does not cover.

• Commercial use licensing. Your song is licensed for personal use. If you want to use it in advertising, on a YouTube channel monetised at scale, in a film, or any other commercial setting, you need separate licensing. Talk to us about commercial terms; the pricing depends on the use case.
• Additional revisions beyond the first lyric revision. One lyric revision is included. Further changes can be discussed, often for a modest additional fee, but in practice the first revision plus the original draft usually nails it.
• Live recording with multiple session musicians. Our standard production uses a combination of AI-assisted composition and human vocalists, mixed with virtual instruments where appropriate. Fully bespoke live-recorded versions with multiple session players would cost dramatically more, and we generally do not offer that tier because the value-to-cost ratio does not work for personal gifting.
• Music videos or visual content. We deliver audio only. If you want a music video, you would need to commission a separate videographer.

How This Compares to the Market

Indian custom song providers fall roughly into three tiers.

• Cheap AI-only services: ₹299-799. Entirely AI-generated lyrics and AI-synthesised vocals. Fast and cheap, but vocals sound synthetic and production is flat. Fine for a gag gift, not a milestone.
• Hybrid services like ours: ₹1,499-3,500. AI-assisted composition with human vocalists, writers, and mixing engineers. The sweet spot for gifts that need to feel professional without costing a fortune.
• Fully bespoke human production: ₹25,000-2,00,000+. Session writer, vocal artist, live musicians, full studio mix. Exceptional quality, priced for professional or wedding-event use.

Our pricing sits at the affordable end of the hybrid tier because we have optimised the workflow heavily.

Possible Add-Ons by Request

We occasionally do things outside the standard package on a case-by-case basis through /contact: duet versions with two vocalists, slightly longer running times, karaoke instrumentals, or formatted lyric sheets for printing. Not advertised tiers, just things we have done for clients who asked with enough lead time.

Is ₹1,499 the Right Spend?

Whether ₹1,499 is the right number depends entirely on the occasion.

• For a milestone anniversary (10th, 25th, 50th), it is genuinely underpriced for the impact. Couples often spend ₹5,000+ on dinner alone, and a custom song outlasts the meal by years.
• For a regular birthday of a sentimental friend or family member, it hits the sweet spot. Higher than a card, lower than fine jewellery, more memorable than either.
• For a casual occasion or someone you do not know well, it is probably more than needed. A simpler gift fits better.
• For a wedding, engagement, or proposal, it is a tiny fraction of the event budget and produces an asset that often becomes the couple’s “our song” for life.

How to Pay and What to Expect

Pricing is shown clearly during the brief submission at /create. You pay once, in full, and the production timer starts. You will hear from our team within hours acknowledging the brief, and the song delivers on the timeline of your chosen tier.
