The verdict

Suno turns a two-sentence description into a complete song with vocals, instrumentation, and mastering in under a minute. The free tier gives 50 credits per day for non-commercial use, while the $8/mo Pro plan unlocks commercial rights and 2,500 monthly credits (roughly 50 full tracks). Custom Mode accepts user-written lyrics alongside detailed style prompts covering genre, tempo, and vocal character, and accuracy is strong for pop, lo-fi, and hip-hop. Audio quality degrades noticeably in genres that demand precise instrumental technique, such as classical or jazz. Best suited for indie creators, game developers, and marketers who need original background music without hiring a composer.

What works

  • Generates a complete 2-4 minute song with vocals in under 60 seconds
  • Custom Mode accepts user-written lyrics and detailed style descriptors
  • Free tier includes 50 credits per day with no credit card required
  • Commercial license included from the $8/mo Pro plan upward

What doesn't

  • Genre accuracy drops sharply for classical, jazz, and acoustic folk
  • No stem export or DAW-compatible project files on any plan
  • Generated lyrics occasionally fall back on generic phrasing despite specific prompts
