Mureka wins, 8.2 to 5.0
Mureka gives you ownership of what you make on any paid plan and allows commercial use from Pro up; Udio keeps ownership itself and forbids commercial use on every tier, including its paid ones. Udio has also switched off downloading entirely, on every plan, while Mureka lets paid users export mp3 or wav files. Both let you sing your own lyrics, but Udio's upload-to-start option needs a Standard or Pro plan and Mureka's needs Pro or Premier.
Pick Mureka if you want ownership, commercial use and downloads on a paid plan.
Pick Udio if you want sung vocals and don't need to own or download tracks.
