Suno cost per downloadable song: $0.40 monthly, $0.32 annual
Suno Pro allows 20 song downloads a month for $8 and Premier 60 for $24: $0.40 a song monthly or $0.32 annual. Sume Music is $0.125 per generation.
On Suno's pricing page the paid plans cap downloads, so the cost of a song you can keep is the plan price over the download allowance: $0.40 on Pro and $0.40 on Premier billed monthly, $0.32 on either billed annually. Read 2026-10-03. Sume Music bills $0.125 per accepted generation, so eight tracks cost $1.00.
The two numbers do not measure the same thing: Suno counts downloads, Sume counts generations. That difference is the useful part of the comparison.
What Suno's page says
Free is 50 credits a day with no downloads and no commercial use. Pro is $8 a month ($6.40 billed annually) with 2,500 credits a month, 20 downloaded songs a month, advanced models and commercial use. Premier is $24 ($19.20 annually) with 10,000 credits, 60 downloads and Suno Studio. The page says all paid plans can buy extra credits and downloads, and that included credits do not carry over.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) | Downloads per month | Monthly $/song | Annual $/song |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro | $8 | $6.40 | 20 | $0.40 | $0.32 |
| Premier | $24 | $19.20 | 60 | $0.40 | $0.32 |
Why the plans have the same cost per song
Pro and Premier land on the same unit price, $0.40 monthly. Premier buys three times the downloads for three times the money, and what changes is credits (10,000 versus 2,500) and tools. If you only need downloads, the plans are linear; if you need to audition many takes before keeping one, credits are the constraint.
Suno does not say on the page how many credits a song costs, so I cannot translate credits into generations. That is the missing number for a full comparison.
Sume's per-generation view
Sume Music 1.0 is a flat $0.125 USD per accepted generation, regardless of length or prompt, per the Music docs. So 20 tracks cost $2.50 and 60 cost $7.50. If you generate three takes for every one you keep, the cost of a kept track is $0.375.
The same arithmetic on Suno: generation is limited by the credits you hold, and kept songs are limited by the download allowance. Auditioning draws on credits rather than dollars; on Sume every take is billed.
Limits
Price per kept song is only one of three costs. The other two are time spent auditioning and the cost of a licensing mistake.
- Licence terms differ and are not priced here; read both before using music commercially.
- Suno's credit cost per song is not on the page.
- Quality and style control are not comparable from a price table.
