Suno pricing guide: what each plan actually includes
Suno sells music generation through three tiers built on daily and monthly credits. The practical question is how credits, download allowances, and commercial rights map to the number of usable songs your channel or studio can publish each month.

Quick answer
Suno's paid plans add commercial rights and monthly download allowances on top of generation credits: Pro is $8 per month billed yearly (2,500 credits and 20 downloads per month), Premier is $24 per month billed yearly (10,000 credits and 60 downloads per month), and the free plan offers 50 credits per day without commercial use. Credits do not roll over, and the free plan loses song downloads on September 3, 2026. Estimate your monthly usable-song output before choosing a tier.

Worth evaluating when
- Hobbyist musicians who want a daily free allowance for experimenting with prompts.
- Video and podcast producers who need clear commercial rights for background music and jingles.
- Channels that publish a steady stream of songs and can use 20 to 60 downloads per month.
- Songwriters comparing Suno's fixed monthly tiers against per-credit music services.
Check before paying
- The free plan is non-commercial and loses song downloads on September 3, 2026.
- Monthly credits and download allowances do not roll over into the next month.
- Commercial-use rights apply to songs created on paid plans; check the terms for limits.
- Older Suno models are retired when new models launch, so songs tied to a retired model may need to be regenerated.
How Suno charges: credits, not songs
Suno does not price per finished song. Every plan grants a credit allowance — 50 credits per day on the free plan, 2,500 per month on Pro, and 10,000 per month on Premier — and each generation attempt consumes credits whether the result is usable or not. That makes the real cost unit the number of attempts, not the number of songs you keep.
A practical way to budget is to count the generations behind one publishable track: prompt iterations, full-length takes, and rejected variants all draw from the same allowance. PremiumPeek's August 13, 2026 record lists these allowances as current on the official pricing page, and credits do not roll over, so unused allowance at month-end is simply lost.
The free plan: 50 credits per day, no commercial use
The free tier gives 50 credits per day, which suits testing prompts, personas, and styles before paying. The trade-offs are explicit: free generations are for non-commercial use, and from September 3, 2026 the free plan no longer includes song downloads.
For channels evaluating Suno as a production tool, the free plan is a discovery tier rather than a publishing tier. Any song you intend to monetize — in a YouTube video, podcast, or commercial project — needs the commercial rights that come with a paid plan.
Pro and Premier: what the subscription adds
Pro costs $8 per month billed yearly and includes 2,500 credits per month, 20 downloads per month, and commercial rights. Premier costs $24 per month billed yearly and raises the allowance to 10,000 credits and 60 downloads per month, also with commercial rights.
The jump from Pro to Premier is worthwhile only when monthly output exceeds the Pro download limit or when heavier iteration eats through 2,500 credits quickly. For a channel publishing a handful of songs a month, Pro's allowance is usually the closer fit; for high-volume soundtrack work, Premier's larger download and credit ceiling avoids hitting the cap mid-month.
Downloads and commercial rights, clarified
Download limits matter because a generated song only becomes usable in a project once you can export it. Pro's 20 downloads per month and Premier's 60 downloads per month are the allowances that support real publishing workflows, while the free plan's downloads are removed from September 3, 2026.
Commercial rights on paid plans cover the songs you create while subscribed, and the terms of service describe the limits of that use. Verify the current wording on the official terms and pricing pages before relying on any specific commercial scenario.
Model retirement and credit expiry
Two Suno policies shape planning. First, credits do not roll over: an allowance unused at the end of the billing period does not carry forward, so there is no benefit to stockpiling. Second, when Suno launches a new model it retires older ones, and songs generated with a retired model may need to be regenerated on the current model.
The practical consequence is to treat Suno as a month-to-month production tool: generate what you need within the billing cycle, keep downloads current, and recheck the official pricing and model pages because plans, allowances, and model availability can change after this review date.
Run a same-input test
Estimate your monthly song output
Count the finished songs you would actually publish in a month, then multiply by the average attempts per song, including failed and alternate takes, to estimate credits consumed.
Run a free-tier week
Use the daily 50-credit allowance for a week and log how many usable songs you produce, how many attempts each took, and whether the free plan's non-commercial limit blocks your intended use.
Match a paid tier to your output
Compare your logged usage against Pro's 2,500 credits and 20 downloads versus Premier's 10,000 credits and 60 downloads, and recheck the official pricing page before subscribing.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Suno plan?
Yes. The free plan provides 50 credits per day for non-commercial use, and from September 3, 2026 it no longer includes song downloads.
Do Suno credits roll over?
No. Unused monthly credits and download allowances expire at the end of the billing period and do not carry into the next month.
Can I use Suno songs commercially on a paid plan?
Pro and Premier include commercial rights for the songs you create on those plans. The terms of service describe the scope and any limits of that commercial use.
What happens when Suno retires a model?
When a new model launches, older models are retired. Songs generated with a retired model may need to be regenerated on the current model, which is a reason to keep credit and download allowances current.
