Suno, the AI songwriting tool
Suno builds a complete song, vocals and instruments, from one line of description, and goes up to eight minutes in a single generation. It sits first on both Artificial Analysis music boards, but its paid plans cap how many songs you may download each month, and that is the part most buyers discover after paying.
- first on both music boards
- up to eight minutes in one pass
- monthly download cap
Last checked: This is a reference page. It is re-checked against the vendor sources and updated when a new version ships. What changed
The number on the pricing page is not the monthly price
Suno pricing page opens on annual billing by default. We did not infer that from the layout, we read it in the markup: the Annual radio carries the checked state and Monthly does not. So the $8 for Pro and $24 for Premier are the per month rate for somebody paying a year up front.
Billed monthly, the same two plans are $10 and $30. The page holds both figures in the data it ships, along with the annual totals of $96 and $288, and the 20 percent saving printed on the toggle matches them exactly. Decide which cycle you want before you subscribe: month by month costs 25 percent more than the number you read on the page.
Plenty of credits, few downloads
Pro gives 2,500 credits a month and Premier gives 10,000. Lower down the same page sits a second number: twenty downloads a month on Pro, sixty on Premier and none at all on the free plan, all from a date they print as 9/3/26, which in the US convention is 3 September 2026.
Those two numbers are not the same thing, and the difference is where people misspend. Ten thousand credits means hundreds of attempts. Sixty downloads means sixty files leave the building. If your work is handing finished tracks to a client, the second column is the one to count.
Credits also do not carry over, day to day or month to month. The one exception is top-up credit you buy separately: that never expires, but you need a live subscription to spend it.
Which model, and how long
Paid plans reach v5.5 while the free plan stays on v4.5-all. That is more than a version number. On the vocals board the V5.5 row scores 1,171 and the V4.5 row scores 1,089, so what you hear free is three rows below what you hear in the marketing.
On length, Suno own guide says 4.5 and 5 generate up to eight minutes in the first pass, and Extend adds more afterwards. Nothing is published for v5.5, so we print nothing for it. Worth noticing: that same model timeline still ends at v5 and does not mention v5.5 at all, while the pricing page and another help article both do. The vendor list has fallen behind the vendor own models, which is not the first time this reference has run into that.
Custom models, and who owns the song
On v5.5 you can build a personal model: upload at least six songs you hold the rights to and Suno will train up to three of them for you. The guide says it takes two to five minutes and that a custom model stays private and cannot be shared between users.
Commercial rights come only with a paid plan, and only for songs made while subscribed. Output from the free plan carries no commercial rights at all, so the track you made while testing cannot go into a client video.
Persian, and Iran
Suno own site is translated into fourteen languages and Persian is not one of them. On whether the model sings in Persian, its documentation publishes no list and no figure, so neither do we. If you have read somewhere that Suno sings in Persian, ask for the source.
There is no supported-countries list either. What exists is the export-control clause in the terms: they state that Suno is headquartered in the United States and that complying with the law where you are is your responsibility alone. Payment is by international card. We sell no accounts, refer no resellers and recommend no circumvention.
Using it from Iran
This column carries a date and says how it was checked, because most listicles guess it. Where we have only read a vendor policy page, the note below says exactly that.
- Reachable
- not checked
- Payment
- no working route
- Free tier
- yes
- Measured on
How we checked: Suno publishes no supported-countries list and we have run no network test from inside Iran, so the reachability column reads as unknown. What we did read is the export-control clause in their own terms: they state that Suno is headquartered in the United States and that compliance with the law of your jurisdiction is entirely your responsibility. Payment is by international card only.
What it is good at
- First on both Artificial Analysis music boards, with vocals and without
- Up to eight minutes in one generation, the longest figure among the tools we measured
- Custom models trained on your own songs, up to three on the paid plans
- A free plan good enough to judge the quality, even though its model is a lower one
Where it falls short
- Downloads are capped monthly: twenty songs on Pro, sixty on Premier, none on free.
- The headline price is the annual rate; billed monthly the plans are $10 and $30.
- Unused credits never carry over, neither daily nor monthly.
- Output from the free plan carries no commercial rights.
- Nothing is published about v5.5 track length or its languages.
- There is no official payment route for an Iranian user, and we suggest none.
Our take
If you want the generated song to actually sound like a song, Suno is the best thing we have measured today. Do one piece of arithmetic before you buy: how many finished files do you need in a month. If the answer is above sixty, Premier will not get you there either and you want a tool whose downloads are uncapped.
Questions people actually ask
Is Suno free
There is a free plan with 50 daily credits, but its output carries no commercial rights and from 3 September 2026 it has no monthly downloads either. It also runs v4.5-all rather than v5.5.
How much does a Suno subscription cost
Pro is $8 a month and Premier $24 a month if you pay annually. Billed monthly the same plans are $10 and $30. The pricing page shows the annual view by default.
How long a song does Suno make
Its own guide says versions 4.5 and 5 generate up to eight minutes in the first pass, and Extend continues from there. No figure is published for v5.5.
Does Suno sing in Persian
Suno publishes no list of singing languages and its own site has no Persian version. So we neither claim it does nor claim it does not; we do not write what has not been published.
