Suno Review: Pricing, Free Plan and Commercial Use

Text-to-song generator with a daily free credit allowance

Suno is an AI music generator: you describe a song, and it writes the lyrics, sings them and plays the backing. It is for anyone who wants a finished-sounding track without recording one, from hobbyists to creators who need music for videos. There are three plans: Free at $0, Pro at $8 a month and Premier at $24 a month.

Quick verdict

The free plan is real, but nothing you make on it can be used commercially, and the plan table hides a second condition. The Terms say a paid user may exploit a song commercially only if it was a permitted download under the tier's monthly download allowance. The other thing to weigh is the Privacy Notice, which says your uploads and prompts may be used to train Suno's models and describes no opt-out.

What is Suno used for?

Mainly for making complete songs from a short description. The homepage pitches it as a way to "make any song you can imagine", and lists newer models, a browser-based editor, stems, remixing and voices.

Song generation and models

You type a prompt and pick a style; Suno returns songs. The homepage names v6 as its newest model, "with fuller vocals, tighter arrangements and more of the detail you asked for". The pricing page ties models to plans: Free gets v6-mini, while Pro and Premier get v6 and v6-wild. The homepage FAQ still mentions v5.5 on Pro, so the model naming differs between Suno's own pages.

Stems, uploads and remixing

The homepage says you can pull a song apart into clean, time-aligned stems, and its FAQ lists vocal and instrument stem separation on Pro. It also lists audio uploads of up to 8 minutes on Pro, and a Remix function that changes a song's style, rewrites its lyrics or rebuilds it around your own recording. Be aware that the Terms treat remixes as jointly owned with the remixer and limit them to non-commercial use on every tier.

Suno Studio

The homepage describes Studio as a browser-based editor for arranging, editing and mixing every part of a song. The FAQ places it in Premier. The pricing page footnote adds that Premier includes the Pro features plus personas and advanced editing.

Voices

Suno also offers voice models. The Terms are explicit that a voice model must use your own voice: you agree not to create, or try to create, a voice model of another person. The Privacy Notice says speech analysed for voice models may be biometric data, and that such data is kept no more than three years after your last interaction.

Who Suno is for, and who should skip it

Suno suits people who want music quickly: a creator who needs a track for a video, someone sketching a song idea before recording it properly, or a person making songs for fun, since the free plan allows that without a card. The help article on commercial use says the free plan covers non-commercial use only.

Skip it, or stay on Free, if:

  • You need to release or sell music. Free outputs are for lawful personal and non-commercial purposes, per the Terms.
  • You need guaranteed copyright. The Terms say Suno makes no representation that any copyright will vest in an output, and the help article says AI-only music would not qualify for US copyright protection and that writing a prompt does not count as creating the song.
  • You are under 13. The Terms do not allow registration under 13, and ages 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian's consent.
  • You do not want your content used for training. The Privacy Notice describes no opt-out.

How much does Suno cost?

Suno has three plans. We read the figures on the Suno pricing page on 13 October 2026; taxes are calculated at checkout.

USD, read 13 October 2026, from Suno pricing (suno.com/pricing)

PlanPriceCreditsModels and features
Free$0 a month50 a dayv6-mini; shared creation queue; no commercial rights; no credit top-ups
Pro$8 a month2,500 a monthv6 and v6-wild; commercial use rights; priority queue, up to 10 songs at once; can buy extra credits
Premier$24 a month10,000 a monthEverything in Pro, plus personas and advanced editing; Studio per the FAQ

The pricing page says yearly billing saves $24 on Pro and $72 on Premier, but it does not print the annual prices. That implies about $72 and $216 a year, which is our arithmetic. The homepage FAQ instead mentions a 20% discount on both paid plans for annual billing. Those two statements do not match, so check what checkout shows.

The conditions matter as much as the prices. Per the pricing page, credits included in a subscription do not carry over from day to day or month to month. Purchased top-up credits do not expire, but you need an active subscription to use them. The Terms say payments are final and non-refundable unless Suno decides otherwise, subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current rate, and cancelling keeps paid access to the end of the period you paid for.

Is Suno free?

Yes. The Free plan costs $0 and, according to the pricing page, gives 50 credits a day with the v6-mini model. The homepage says up to 10 songs a day with no credit card required. The limits are the shared queue, no top-ups, and above all no commercial rights. Free is a good way to find out whether the output suits you, not a way to produce music you plan to publish for money.

How Suno handles your content

The Suno Privacy Notice lists contact details, account and subscription information, usage logs, uploads and outputs, and chat prompts among what it collects. Payment details are handled by payment processors and, it says, are not collected or stored by Suno.

  • Training. The notice says Suno may use content and chat inputs to train and enhance the models behind the service. It describes no opt-out.
  • License. The Terms say you keep ownership of your submissions but grant Suno a license to use your content to improve the service and its AI models. They also say you may not use the service or its output to train other AI models.
  • Selling data. Suno says it does not sell personal information. Analytics and advertising providers such as Google Analytics use cookies.
  • Deletion. You can ask for deletion by email, with exceptions for data needed for an active account, a contract, legal proceedings or compliance.

The Terms name Suno Inc., 17 Dunster Street, Floor 4, Cambridge, MA 02138, and are governed by Massachusetts law.

Where Suno's own pages disagree

  • The pricing page lists v6 and v6-wild for Pro, while the homepage FAQ mentions v5.5 on Pro.
  • The pricing page says 50 credits a day on Free, which the homepage turns into up to 10 songs a day. Pro is 2,500 credits a month on the pricing page and 500 songs a month on the homepage, so a song costs 5 credits.
  • Yearly billing is a $24 and $72 saving on the pricing page and a 20% discount on the homepage.
  • The pricing page says Pro and Premier have commercial use rights. The Terms add that commercial exploitation depends on a permitted download under your tier's monthly download allowance, and the pricing page itself points to the Terms for limits.

How Suno compares with other tools reviewed here

We have not reviewed another music generator yet, so there is nothing on this site to line Suno up against price for price. The closest overlap is with voice and audio tools, which do a different job: they record, transcribe or clean up sound rather than compose it. Judge Suno on its own terms: a free daily allowance for trying it, $8 for commercial rights and a bigger credit pool, and $24 for 10,000 credits and the editor.
