Cyanite review
Catalog-focused music analysis with metadata tagging, natural-language descriptions and search.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cyanite analyzes music tracks and turns their audio into searchable metadata, including genre, mood, instruments, vocal characteristics, tempo and key. It also generates natural-language song descriptions and supports similarity search based on audio. Music publishers, production libraries, streaming services, distributors and other businesses managing music catalogs are the clearest fit. The product is available through a browser-based web app, an API and integrations with catalog-management systems, with a free plan for trying the web app.
Its value is in making a catalog easier to organize and query, rather than judging a song’s commercial potential. Teams can search using free text or find tracks by audio similarity, and businesses can export tagging results as CSV or spreadsheets. The API documentation describes track uploads, analysis-completion webhooks and result retrieval; Cyanite also describes API access for free accounts, with credentials requested from the company. Integrations include Source Audio, Cadenza Box, Harvest Media, Music Master, Reprtoir, Synchtank, Tune Bud and DISCO. These options make it relevant for teams whose catalog workflows already depend on management systems or custom API processes.
The free web app allows five song uploads per month. The FAQ separately refers to a 20-track monthly subscription, but business pricing depends on catalog size and requested services. This makes Cyanite worth considering for teams that need structured metadata, catalog search or larger-scale analysis, while buyers should clarify the appropriate business plan for their catalog and workflow. It is less suited to users seeking market-fit scoring or a tool centered on commercial song evaluation. Cyanite lists email and documentation as support channels and GDPR as a compliance posture.
