Try Free — 5 Songs on SignupYes, Suno offers a free tier with 50 credits per day, which equals about 10 song generations. Free tier is perfect for learning the platform and experimenting with prompts. However, free tier tracks are for non-commercial personal use only. If you want to sell, stream, or monetize your music, you need to upgrade to the Pro or Premier plan for commercial usage rights.
Suno Pro costs $10 per month and includes 2500 credits (about 500 generations), commercial usage rights for all tracks you create, priority generation queue for faster results, and access to custom covers. This is the minimum tier needed for any commercial music creation. Most casual to moderate creators find Pro sufficient for their needs and it represents excellent value.
Suno Premier at $30 per month gives you 10000 credits (about 2000 generations), all Pro features, and priority generation. If you create music daily, produce full albums, or run a content creation business that needs regular music, Premier is excellent value. At roughly $0.003 per generation, it is significantly cheaper than any alternative music production method available today.
The biggest credit saver is writing better prompts. Use HookGenius to generate detailed, specific style prompts that nail your target sound in fewer attempts. Write custom lyrics instead of relying on AI generation for more predictable results. Use the extend feature to build on successful generations rather than starting from scratch. Each credit saved through better prompting compounds over your entire subscription.
Free tier Suno tracks are intended for non-commercial personal use. Using them in monetized YouTube videos may violate terms of service. For content creation, the Pro plan at $10 per month provides commercial rights that cover YouTube usage. Given that YouTube monetization can easily exceed $10 per month in revenue, upgrading to Pro for commercial rights is a worthwhile investment for any content creator.
