Suno plans: free has no commercial rights; Pro $8 vs Sume per track

On Suno's pricing page the free plan carries no commercial rights, and the paid plans are priced by credits and song downloads: Pro at $8 a month with 20 downloads, Premier at $24 with 60. Sume's Music Router has no plan for music at all in the docs; you pay a flat $0.125 for each accepted generation. Here are the two models side by side, read on 2026-10-03.

What does each Suno plan include?

The page lists three plans. Free is $0 with 50 credits per day, the free model (v6-mini), a shared queue, no monthly song downloads, no commercial rights and no add-on credits. Pro lists $8 per month, 2,500 credits, 20 song downloads, commercial use rights and a priority queue of up to 10 songs. Premier lists $24 per month, 10,000 credits and 60 song downloads, plus Suno Studio. The page notes the Pro and Premier prices save money when billed yearly, so check which billing cadence the displayed figure assumes before you budget.

What does credit expiry mean for a budget?

The page says credits included in subscriptions do not carry over from day to day or month to month. Purchased top-up credits do not expire, but they require an active subscription to use. A plan you use lightly therefore wastes its allowance, and a month with a burst of work can hit the 20 or 60 download cap before the credits run out.

What does Sume charge instead?

The Music 1.0 page states a fixed $0.125 per accepted generation, unaffected by prompt length or optional image conditioning, and the Music Router page says every router model charges that fixed Music price. Routing today means sume/music-auto picking Lyria 3.5, with lyria-3.5 and lyria-3-pro as other routable ids.

The arithmetic is simple. At Pro's 20 downloads for $8 the downloaded-song cost is $0.40 each; at Sume's rate 20 tracks cost $2.50. Neither figure is the whole story, because Suno's plan also bundles Studio-style features, stems and voice tools that the Sume docs do not describe for music, and Sume bills accepted generations rather than downloads, so a track you discard still costs $0.125.

Which should you use?

If you want to compose in an app, remix and extend songs, and download a handful per month with commercial rights, the Suno plan is built for that. If a program needs tracks on demand with no monthly commitment, a per-generation price is easier to budget. For any paid ad, read the terms of whichever service you use for the exact rights you get; this page does not interpret either set of terms.
