Suno Pricing (2026): Free vs Pro vs Premier, Credits, and the New Download Limits

How we checked: prices and plan limits come from Suno's official pricing page, its Help Center, and its Terms of Service (dated August 10, 2026, effective September 3, 2026), all checked on October 20, 2026. Sources are listed at the end. We have no affiliate relationship with Suno. Suno changed its download rules and models in September 2026, so older guides you find may be out of date.

The short answer

Free ($0): 50 credits a day (about 10 songs) on the v6-mini model. It's for trying Suno and personal listening only: no commercial rights and no monthly downloads.
Pro ($10/month, or $96/year = $8/month): 2,500 credits a month, the v6 and v6-wild models, commercial use rights, and 20 song downloads a month.
Premier ($30/month, or $288/year = $24/month): 10,000 credits a month, 60 song downloads a month, and Suno Studio, whose downloads aren't subject to the monthly limit.

The most important thing to know: since September 3, 2026, generating songs is cheap, but downloading them is limited. Pro credits are enough for about 500 songs a month, but you can download only 20. Under Suno's terms, the download is also what unlocks commercial use. Pick your plan by how many finished tracks you need to take off Suno each month, not by credits.

Suno plans at a glance

*Suno's v6 FAQ says a standard generation creates two songs for 10 credits, so about 5 credits per song. Max Mode and prompts with many image or video inputs cost more. Suno doesn't publish a fixed figure for those.

Annual billing saves 20%: $24 a year on Pro and $72 a year on Premier. Annual subscribers still receive their credits and downloads monthly, not as one yearly lump.

How Suno credits work

Generations cost credits. Suno launched its v6 models on September 9, 2026 and has retired all earlier models. Under v6, each standard generation costs 10 credits and returns two songs. Suno's FAQ says v6 generations cost the same as the previous models did.

Free: up to 50 credits are replenished once a day (Suno uses UTC for the daily reset). Unused credits don't carry over. If you use 10 credits today, you start tomorrow with 50, not 90.
Pro and Premier: credits refill once a month at the time of your original purchase, and unused monthly credits don't carry over. Whether you used 10 credits or all 2,500, the next cycle starts at 2,500.
When you run out mid-cycle: paid subscribers automatically get 50 bonus credits a day until the cycle renews. Suno's Help Center says songs made with those daily credits keep commercial-use eligibility as long as you're still subscribed.
Top-up credits: Pro and Premier can buy extra credits (Free can't). Purchased top-up credits don't expire, but you need an active subscription to use them.

In practice, very few people run out of credits on Pro. A creator generating 20 versions of every track they keep would still use only about 100 credits per kept track, so 2,500 credits covers roughly 25 kept tracks. That's already more than Pro's 20 downloads.

The download limits: what you're really paying for

Suno introduced download limits on September 3, 2026, together with new Terms of Service. The rules, from Suno's Help Center:

Pro: 20 downloads a month. Premier: 60 a month. They reset on your billing date, and unused downloads don't roll over.
One song = one download, whatever the format. Downloading the same song again (for example MP3 and then WAV) doesn't count twice. A song's stems are included in that song's single download. Failed or interrupted downloads don't count.
Suno Studio is the exception. Premier subscribers can download their Studio work without it counting against the limit.
Purchased downloads roll over. You can buy individual downloads or download packs when you hit your limit, and those don't expire at the end of the month like plan downloads do. Suno shows the price in your account, not on its public pricing page, so check it there before buying.
The limits apply to your whole library, including songs made before September 3. Listening and sharing songs on Suno stay unlimited on every plan, including Free.
Free plan: the pricing page lists "No monthly song downloads." Free accounts created before September 3, 2026 got up to 7 lifetime trial downloads. Suno says accounts created on or after that date "may occasionally receive trial downloads." Trial downloads are for personal, non-commercial use only.
WAV files are available only to Pro and Premier, and only from suno.com. Mobile downloads default to MP3.

Cost per downloaded song

Dividing the plan price by the included downloads gives:

Plan	Monthly billing	Annual billing
Pro (20 downloads)	$0.50 per download	$0.40 per download
Premier (60 downloads)	$0.50 per download	$0.40 per download

So Premier isn't cheaper per song. It costs $20 a month more than Pro for 40 more downloads, 7,500 more credits, and Suno Studio. If you regularly need more than 20 tracks a month, compare the in-app price of extra downloads with Premier's effective rate of $0.50 per download before buying packs.

Commercial rights: the rules that changed

Free plan songs are personal, non-commercial only. You can't monetize them. Suno's Help Center says that on the Free plan, Suno retains ownership of the songs, and you may use them for non-commercial purposes.

On Pro and Premier, the download is what grants commercial use. Suno's current Terms of Service allow commercial use of a song only if you obtained "a permitted download" of it within your plan's download allowance. They explicitly prohibit commercializing output that wasn't downloaded through an approved channel, such as by recording or stream-ripping it. Once you've made a permitted download, the terms say those commercial rights are perpetual and survive cancellation or downgrade. With them, Suno's Help Center says you can distribute to streaming platforms, use the songs in film, TV, or games, and sell them, without Suno taking a share.

That has two practical consequences:

Download your keepers before you cancel. After cancelling, your library stays playable on Suno, but downloads follow Free-tier limits.
A short subscription can be enough. If you need only a few tracks, such as a podcast intro and a couple of stingers, one month of Pro covers you. Make the songs while subscribed, download them within your 20, and the rights stay with those downloads.

Songs made before you subscribed: Suno's older Help Center article (last edited December 2025) says subscribing doesn't grant retroactive commercial rights to Free-plan songs by default. A newer article on remixes (edited October 6, 2026) says songs you made while not subscribed "can now qualify by using one of your paid download credits." Because the two articles point in different directions, confirm with Suno support before you monetize anything made on the Free plan.

Remixes of other people's songs aren't eligible for monetization on any plan, according to the same October 2026 article and Suno's terms.

Copyright is a separate question. Suno says it makes no warranty that copyright will exist in AI output. Its Help Center notes that in the US, music made 100% with AI may not qualify for copyright protection, while lyrics you wrote yourself are yours. Some music distributors exclude songs that can't be copyrighted, so check your distributor's rules.

Which plan should you pick?

You're curious, or making songs for fun and sharing links: Free. Ten songs a day is plenty, and streaming or sharing on Suno is unlimited.
A podcaster, streamer, or small YouTube channel that needs a few original tracks a month: Pro. Twenty downloads a month covers a new background track for most weekly or twice-weekly publishing schedules, with commercial rights.
A daily short-form creator, or anyone shipping more than 20 finished tracks a month: Premier. You get 60 downloads, and if most of your work happens in Suno Studio, those downloads aren't capped.
A producer who wants stems, MIDI, and effects: Premier, for Suno Studio and the third stem-separation mode (Advanced split).
You need one or two tracks for a single project: one month of Pro, then cancel. Download everything you need first.

Billing details worth knowing

Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing cycle.
Refunds: Suno's terms say payments are final and non-refundable unless Suno decides otherwise (statutory refund rights still apply). Its Help Center lists case-by-case examples where it would help, such as accidentally choosing yearly instead of monthly billing, or a subscription that was never used.
App store subscriptions: if you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel there, not on suno.com.
Local currencies: Suno bills in USD and several other currencies, and taxes such as EU VAT are added at checkout. The price you pay may differ from the USD figures above.

If the download cap doesn't fit your workflow

If you mainly need background music for videos and already pay for AI voice, ElevenLabs also generates music. It charges music by length from the same credit pool as its other tools: its pricing FAQ lists Eleven Music at about 900 credits per minute. Its $6 Starter plan includes 30,000 credits a month and lists music commercial use (checked October 20, 2026). That's roughly 33 minutes of generated music a month if you spend the whole allowance on it. The trade-off is a different kind of tool. Suno is built around full songs with vocals and has its own editing workflow, while ElevenLabs is a voice platform with music as one feature. See our ElevenLabs review for how its credits work, or browse more tools in AI Voice & Music.
