AI music generator that creates complete songs with vocals and lyrics from text prompts. Credit-based plans: the free tier grants 50 credits daily (about 10 songs/day, non-commercial); Pro at $8/month (billed yearly) includes 2,500 monthly credits and commercial use rights.

Profile

Suno is an AI music generator that creates complete songs — vocals, lyrics and instrumentation — from a text prompt, aimed at hobbyists, content creators and musicians who want to write and release original music without playing an instrument. It runs on a credit-based freemium model: a free plan for non-commercial experimentation, and paid Pro/Premier subscriptions that unlock commercial rights on new songs, higher monthly credit allowances, and production features like stem separation.

Who builds it

Suno is built by Suno, Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based AI music company. Users type a genre, mood, lyrics or theme, generate multiple full-length song variations, and can then edit, extend or separate the result into stems for further production.

Core features

  • Full song generation (vocals, lyrics and instrumentation) from a text prompt, with the current v5.5 model available on paid plans and v4.5-all on Free
  • Daily credit renewal on Free (50 credits/day) versus monthly credit pools on paid plans (2,500 on Pro, 10,000 on Premier)
  • Stem separation for pulling apart vocals and instrumentation, with more stem types unlocked on Premier
  • Custom voice recording and advanced editing tools on paid plans, plus up to 30 minutes of audio upload (vs 8 minutes on Free)
  • Suno Studio, a more advanced production workspace included on the Premier plan
  • No official self-serve developer API yet — Suno announced a curated API partner program via an application form on July 1, 2026

Pricing

  • Free: $0/month — 50 credits/day, no commercial use, ~10 songs/day in a shared queue, 4 concurrent generations
  • Pro: $8/month ($6.40/month billed annually) — 2,500 credits/month, commercial use rights on new songs made while subscribed, ~500 songs/month, 10 concurrent generations in a priority queue, stem separation
  • Premier: $24/month ($19.20/month billed annually) — 10,000 credits/month, commercial rights, ~2,000 songs/month, Suno Studio access, additional stem-separation types
  • Credits included in a subscription do not carry over month to month; purchased add-on credits don't expire but require an active subscription to use
  • Check suno.com/pricing for current rates, since plans and credit allowances can change

Who it's for

Casual users experimenting with AI-generated music for fun, without needing to publish or monetize it, fit the Free plan. Independent musicians, YouTubers and podcasters who want to release or monetize their tracks need at least the Pro plan for commercial rights, while creators producing higher volumes or wanting Suno Studio's deeper editing should look at Premier. Developers wanting programmatic access currently have no official self-serve API and must apply to Suno's new partner program instead.

Frequently asked questions

What does Suno cost?

Suno runs a free plan plus two paid tiers: Pro at $8/month ($6.40/month billed annually) with 2,500 credits/month, and Premier at $24/month ($19.20/month billed annually) with 10,000 credits/month. Both paid tiers include commercial rights on songs created while subscribed; the free plan does not. Check suno.com/pricing directly, since credit allowances and pricing can change.

Is Suno free?

Yes, Suno has a genuine free plan with 50 credits renewing daily, allowing roughly 10 songs/day in a shared generation queue with 4 concurrent slots. The free plan explicitly excludes commercial use rights — songs made on it are for non-commercial use only — and caps audio upload length at 8 minutes versus 30 on paid plans.

Can I use Suno's music commercially?

Only if you're on a paid plan — Suno's Free plan explicitly states "no commercial use," while both Pro ($8/month) and Premier ($24/month) grant commercial use rights for new songs made while subscribed. This means commercial rights are tied to your subscription status at creation time, not retroactive, so downgrading or canceling can affect rights on future (not necessarily past) songs — check Suno's current terms of service for the precise scope before relying on it for monetized releases.

Does Suno support custom voice recording?

Yes, paid Suno plans (Pro and Premier) include a custom voice recording feature for incorporating your own vocal input into generated songs, alongside advanced editing tools not available on the Free plan. This sits alongside stem separation, which lets you pull vocals and instrumentation apart after generation for further mixing.

Does Suno have an API?

Not as a public self-serve product yet. Suno's Chief Product Officer announced on July 1, 2026 that the company is opening a curated developer API partner program, inviting applications via an intake form rather than offering instant self-serve API keys. Third-party, unofficial API wrappers exist around Suno's platform, but they are not operated or endorsed by Suno itself.

Suno vs Udio — what's the difference?

Suno keeps user downloads and stem exports on its paid plans, so you can extract and release the songs you create, and it grants commercial rights starting at its $8/month Pro tier. Udio, after its October 2025 settlement and licensing partnership with Universal Music Group, disabled downloads of audio, video and stems entirely, turning it into a "walled garden" where creations stay inside the platform; a new licensed version built around UMG/Warner/Merlin catalog music is planned to launch sometime in 2026, expected to restore some form of export. In mid-2026, Suno remains the platform you can actually release music from, while Udio offers a more legally settled licensing story but no way to take your song off the platform.
