What Suno does

Who it’s for: people who need music for a video, an internal event, or a presentation, with no budget and no musician.

A song from a description

You write the style, the mood, and the subject in one or two sentences. Suno writes the lyrics, composes the music, and sings it. Each request gives two songs.

Your own lyrics and your choice of voice

In “Custom” mode, you paste your lyrics, describe the music style, and give a title. In “Advanced Options,” “Vocal Gender” lets you choose a male or female voice, and “Exclude” lets you leave out an instrument.

Start from a sound, a photo, or a video

You record or upload a sound, and Suno turns it into a complete song. On a phone, you can also start from a photo or a video and get music from it.

Also

  • Extend or fix a section
  • Change a song’s style (“Cover”)
  • Separate the voice and the instruments
  • Have your own voice sing
  • Suno Studio: the editing desk

Suno pricing

Suno lists its prices in dollars, excl. tax. Checked on October 4, 2026: the pricing page shows the yearly price ($8 and $24 per month) and the savings, $24 per year for Pro and $72 for Premier, or 20%. Billed monthly, that comes to $10 and $30 per month. Audio upload: the same page gives 8 minutes on Free and 30 minutes with Premier; a help article, updated May 30, 2025, still states 60 seconds on Free and 8 minutes with Pro and Premier. In the iPhone app in France, the App Store shows €10 per month for Pro and €35 per month for Premier.

What the free plan includes

50 credits per day, or ten songs, with the lightest version of Suno’s AI model. No monthly downloads and no commercial use rights: songs are for personal use only and are shared by link.

Nova’s advice

For a team song or a trial, stay on the free account. As soon as the music is for your company (video, ad, broadcast event), get Pro before you create: commercial use rights apply only to songs made during the subscription. Premier is worth it only if you edit your tracks yourself.

Free or paid: how usage is counted

Every request creates two songs and costs 10 credits. The free plan refills 50 every day.

What it does less well

  • With the free account, Suno remains the owner of the songs and you are not allowed to use them for your company. Subscribing later does not give you that right for songs already made.
  • Even when you pay, downloads are counted: 20 songs per month with Pro, 60 with Premier. Other songs can be played and shared by link.

An upbeat pop song, in English, with a female voice, for Dominique’s retirement after twenty years in the accounting department. Warm and funny tone. Mention the month-end spreadsheets, the 9 am coffee, and her good mood.
