Export before you cancel, not after
This used to be optional advice. Under the terms that took effect on 3 September 2026 it's the single most consequential thing on this page, and it is not reversible.
Your library survives cancellation. Your ability to get music out of it commercially mostly doesn't.
Commercial rights now attach to an official download taken while you were on a paid plan - not to the moment you generated the track. A song sitting undownloaded in your library carries no commercial licence, however long you paid for the account that made it.
Cancel and your downloads revert to free-tier limits: 7 in total, for the lifetime of the account, explicitly non-commercial. If you have two hundred undownloaded tracks and one of them might have earned you something, that door closes on the day your billing period ends.
The good news is the other half of the same rule. Files you have downloaded properly keep their rights permanently - "not affected by your exhaustion of your Download allotment, by any later change to allotments or pricing". Cancelling can't reach back and take those away.
A ten-minute triage before you go
Open your Library and sort by plays or by date. You're looking for anything you might release, licence, put in a video, or send to a client. Be honest - most people have five, not fifty.
Download those, in WAV, on the desktop site. The mobile apps return MP3 whatever you ask for. If a track is going anywhere near a distributor, it needs to be the lossless one. Export guide.
Take stems for anything you'll rework later. All the stems from one song count as a single download, not twelve - so this is much cheaper against your allowance than it looks.
Use up this month's download allowance. You've already paid for it and it doesn't roll over. Twenty on Pro, sixty on Premier - spend them before the cycle ends rather than leaving them on the table.
Note the date and the plan you were on. A screenshot of your account page costs nothing and is the evidence that a given download was taken while subscribed.
Work out who's actually billing you
This is where most people get stuck. Suno's website cannot cancel a subscription that Apple or Google is billing - so if you subscribed in the app, the cancel button simply won't be there, and no amount of hunting will produce it.
Cancelling on the website
Billed by Suno via Stripe
If you subscribed at suno.com in a browser, this is you.
Go to suno.com/account in a desktop browser. Signing in through the mobile app won't show you the same page.
Select Cancel Subscription at the top of the page.
Confirm when prompted. Suno may offer a retention discount here - if you were cancelling on price rather than on principle, it's worth reading before you dismiss it.
Alternatively, choose Update Payment to open the Stripe billing portal and cancel from inside it. Same result, useful if the button on the account page misbehaves.
Cancelling on iPhone or iPad
Billed by Apple
Suno's help centre is explicit: mobile subscriptions "should be canceled directly through those third party services."
Open the Settings app - the iOS one, not Suno.
Tap your name at the very top.
Tap Subscriptions.
Find Suno in the list and tap it.
Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. If you only see "Cancel Free Trial", that's the same button.
Cancelling on Android
Billed by Google Play
Google is the merchant of record, so cancelling on suno.com won't stop the charge.
Open the Play Store app and tap your profile picture - top right.
Tap Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
Select Suno, then Cancel subscription, and pick a reason when asked.
The alternative route, if you prefer it: Settings → Google → Manage your Google Account → Payments & subscriptions → Manage subscriptions.
Confirm it actually cancelled
Cancellation flows fail silently more often than they should, and the first you hear about it is next month's charge. Thirty seconds now saves an argument later.
What you keep and what you lose
Nothing happens immediately. Paid features run to the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then the account reverts to the free plan. Here's what that looks like.
You keep
None of this is deleted
- Your entire library. Every song stays, playable and shareable on Suno, indefinitely
- Your Personas and Voices
- Every file you already downloaded - and its commercial rights, permanently
- Your account, your profile and your playlists
- 50 free credits a day, refreshed daily, forever
- Purchased top-up credits remain on the account - though you need an active paid plan to spend them
You lose
From the end of the billing period
- Commercial rights on anything generated from then on - the free tier is personal use only
- WAV downloads, and the higher-quality export formats
- Your monthly credit allowance - unused subscription credits don't carry over
- Download volume - you drop to the free tier's 7 lifetime, non-commercial
- Stem separation, Studio 2.0 and the other paid features
- Any days remaining aren't refunded - which is why you cancel on the last one
Can you get a refund?
Usually not, and the policy says so in one sentence. But the exceptions Suno lists are more generous than the headline suggests, and they're worth knowing before you write the email.
"Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Suno."
Suno Help Center, refund policy
The "unless otherwise determined" is doing real work. Suno says it will consider refunds case by case in these situations:
You picked the wrong plan
Accidentally subscribing annually instead of monthly is the example Suno gives itself. Contact support quickly and this one is usually straightforward.
You never used it
An unused account with zero songs created. If you subscribed and immediately thought better of it, say so within a day or two rather than at the end of the month.
The service was broken
Outages or significant malfunctions. Note that the usual remedy here is credits rather than money - which is reasonable, if not always what you wanted.
Troubleshooting
Four things that aren't cancelling
Not a retention pitch - just the options people don't realise exist, because the interface doesn't advertise them.
Drop from Premier to Pro
If Studio 2.0 and the bigger allowances were the reason and you've stopped using them, downgrading keeps your commercial rights and cuts the bill by two thirds. Cancelling keeps neither.
Subscribe in bursts
Nothing obliges you to pay continuously. Draft on the free tier, take one paid month when you're ready to finish and export, then cancel again. The files and their rights stay yours.
Switch to annual instead
If the problem is the monthly price rather than the tool, annual billing is roughly 20% cheaper for the same allowances - about $8 a month on Pro. Worth a look before you leave over $2.
Take the retention offer
Suno sometimes presents a discount in the cancel flow. If price was the issue, read it before dismissing it - and if it isn't enough, cancelling is still one click away.
Check it isn't a prompt problem
A lot of cancellations are really "I kept getting results I didn't like". If that's the honest reason, ten minutes on prompt structure changes more than switching tools does. The formula.
Cancel on the last day
There's no partial refund, so cancelling three weeks early is simply a gift. Set a reminder for the day before renewal and cancel then - identical outcome, three more weeks of exporting.
Cancellation FAQ
How do I cancel Suno?
Depends who bills you. On the web: suno.com/account → Cancel Subscription. On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Suno. On Android: Play Store → profile → Payments and subscriptions. Suno can't cancel an app-store subscription for you.
Do I lose my songs?
No. Your entire library stays, playable and shareable on Suno indefinitely, along with your Personas and Voices. What changes is your ability to download them - you drop to the free tier's 7 lifetime, non-commercial downloads.
When does cancelling take effect?
At the end of the billing period you've already paid for. Nothing is removed mid-cycle and there's no prorated refund - which is exactly why you should cancel on the last day rather than the first.
Can I get a refund?
Payments are "final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Suno". It will consider refunds for wrong-plan purchases, entirely unused accounts and service outages. Buyer's remorse after real use isn't covered.
What happens to my credits?
Monthly subscription credits are lost - they don't carry over. Purchased top-up credits stay on the account, but you need an active paid plan to spend them. On free you get 50 a day instead.
Why is there no cancel button?
Because Apple or Google is billing you, not Suno. The website has no control over app-store subscriptions, so the button correctly isn't there. Cancel in the store instead.
Do I keep commercial rights on my old songs?
On the ones you downloaded through Suno while subscribed, yes - permanently, and later changes to pricing or allowances don't affect them. On tracks still sitting undownloaded in your library, no. Export first.
Can I resubscribe later?
Yes, any time, and your library is waiting. Nothing is deleted by cancelling, and the paid features come straight back - including your full download allowance for that month.
Should I delete my account too?
Almost certainly not. Cancelling stops the billing; deleting the account destroys the library, and it isn't reversible. There's no ongoing cost to keeping a free account.
Will cancelling my card work instead?
It stops the payment but not the subscription, which can leave the account in a failed-billing state rather than a clean cancellation. Cancel properly first; treat the card as a last resort.
How many downloads should I take before I go?
All of them. Your monthly allowance - 20 on Pro, 60 on Premier - is already paid for and doesn't roll over. Stems from one song count as a single download, so take those too.
Is there a pause option?
Not as a formal feature. The nearest equivalent is cancelling and resubscribing when you next need it - your library, Personas and Voices are all still there when you come back.

We're an independent guide with no affiliation to Suno, and this is general information rather than advice. Menus change, policies change, and this page was last reviewed in August 2026 - if anything here doesn't match what's on your screen, trust your screen and the official links above.
Export first. Cancel last.
The subscription will still be there to cancel tomorrow. The download allowance you've already paid for won't be - and under the current terms, that allowance is what turns your library into music you can actually use.
