What changed in August 2026
The sticker prices haven't moved, but what each plan buys has changed twice in a fortnight - once in your favour, once against it. Both matter more than the headline numbers.
Premier got a lot better 13 Aug
Studio 2.0 turned the browser DAW into a real one: MIDI recording and a piano roll, MIDI-as-prompt, a wavetable synth, seven effects, custom plugins you build by describing them, automation, and proper stem separation.
Editing in Studio costs no credits, and multitrack export is unlimited. For anyone who actually produces, Premier is a stronger proposition than it was two weeks ago.
Every plan got download caps 3 Sept
From 3 September, Free gets 7 downloads for life, Pro 20 a month and Premier 60 a month - applied retroactively to your entire back catalogue.
Crucially, commercial use is now tied to obtaining an authorised download through Suno. Holding a subscription is no longer enough on its own.
Downloads are now the real currency, not credits
For most of Suno's history, credits were the constraint - Pro's 2,500 a month was the number that decided whether you'd upgrade. From September, the binding limit for most people is downloads, and Pro's 20 a month is far tighter than its 500 songs.
That reframes the tiers. If you generate a lot but release a little, Pro is still fine. If you export regularly - stems, revisions, client deliverables - Premier with Studio is the only plan without a ceiling, and that exemption is worth more than the extra credits.

How Suno credits actually work
Every plan runs on the same credit system. Understanding it is the difference between a plan that feels generous and one that runs dry in the third week.
~5 credits per song
One generation costs about 10 credits and returns two songs - so roughly 5 credits each. That's where the 10 / 500 / 2,000 song estimates come from.
Everything generative costs
Extensions, remixes, covers and regenerations each spend a full generation's worth of credits - not a discount. The re-roll is the same price as the first attempt.
Nothing rolls over
Daily free credits reset each day; monthly credits reset on your billing date, not the 1st. Unused credits are forfeited. Only purchased top-ups persist, while your subscription stays active.
Editing is free
Arranging, comping, splitting, mixing, automating and exporting in Studio cost no credits. Only generating new audio draws from the pool - so edit more, re-roll less.
Top-ups exist
Pro and Premier can buy additional credits on top of the monthly allowance, and from September you can buy extra downloads too. Neither is available on Free.
The re-roll multiplier
The honest number: a finished track usually costs 3-5× its list price in credits, because almost nobody keeps the first take. Budget by finished songs, not generations.
What the plans really give you
Commercial rights by plan
The single most consequential difference between Free and paid isn't credits or features - it's whether you're allowed to make money from what you make.
Free plan songs
Suno's help documentation is blunt: on the Basic plan, Suno owns the songs you create and you may use them only for non-commercial purposes.
And it's not retroactive. A song generated on Free stays non-commercial forever, even if you upgrade the next day. If you might ever release it, don't make it on the free tier.
Pro & Premier songs
On paid plans you own the songs and receive a commercial-use licence to monetise them - YouTube, streaming, ads, client work, sync - with 0% royalties owed to Suno.
Pro and Premier carry identical rights. The difference between them is volume and tooling, never licensing.
Which plan should you actually pick?
Ignore the feature lists for a moment and answer one question: what do you do with the songs after you make them?
You're just playing
Making songs for fun, for friends, for the joy of it. 10 a day is plenty and you'll never need the files. Just don't build anything you care about here.
You post to social
YouTube, TikTok, podcasts. You need commercial rights and WAV files, but you release a handful of tracks a month - well inside 20 downloads.
You want your own voice
Voices and Custom models are Pro features, not Premier ones. If personalisation is the draw, the cheaper tier already has it.
You export constantly
Stems for every track, multiple mixes, client revisions. Studio's unlimited downloads are the only way to avoid the cap - this is the strongest reason to upgrade.
You actually produce
You want MIDI, effects, automation and 32-bit multitracks. Studio 2.0 is a real workstation now, and editing in it costs no credits.
You release volume
More than 20 finished tracks leaving the platform each month. Pro's download cap will bite long before its credit allowance does.
You've been at it 3+ months
If Suno has stuck as a habit, annual saves ~20% - $24/year on Pro, $72/year on Premier. If you're new, stay monthly until you know.
You have Ableton or Logic
Studio has no VST or AU support. If your sound lives in your plugin folder, Pro plus the DAW you own may beat Premier - though you'll live with 20 downloads.
The costs nobody puts on the pricing page
Six things that surprise people after they subscribe. None are dealbreakers; all are cheaper to know about now.
Suno pricing - frequently asked questions
The questions people ask before subscribing, and the ones they ask afterwards.
How much does Suno cost?
Free is $0 with 50 credits a day. Pro is $10/month, or $96/year which works out at $8/month. Premier is $30/month, or $288/year at $24/month. Annual billing saves roughly 20% on both paid tiers. Regional pricing varies - Premier is around £18/month in the UK.
Is the free plan actually usable?
For learning and personal fun, yes - 50 credits a day is about 10 songs, refreshed daily, on the v4.5-all model. The catch is rights: Suno owns free-plan songs and they're non-commercial forever, even if you upgrade later. From 3 September you also only get 7 downloads for your entire lifetime on Free. Treat it as a trial, not a tier.
What's the real difference between Pro and Premier?
Three things: 4× the credits (10,000 vs 2,500), Suno Studio 2.0, and download headroom - 60 a month instead of 20, plus unlimited exports through Studio. Commercial rights, Voices and Custom models are identical on both. If you don't open Studio and don't export much, Pro is the better buy.
How many credits does a song cost?
A generation costs about 10 credits and returns two songs - roughly 5 credits per song. Extensions, remixes, covers and regenerations each cost a full generation. Because almost nobody keeps the first take, a genuinely finished track typically costs 3-5× the list price in credits.
Do unused credits roll over?
No. Daily free credits reset every day and monthly credits reset on your billing date - unused ones are forfeited. The exception is purchased top-ups, which persist as long as your subscription stays active. Both paid tiers can buy extra credits; Free cannot.
Is annual billing worth it?
It saves about 20% - $24 a year on Pro, $72 on Premier - which is roughly two and a half free months. Worth it if Suno has already become a habit. If you've been subscribed less than three months, stay on monthly: plan limits and policies have changed twice this month alone, and monthly keeps you flexible.
What are the new download limits?
From 3 September 2026: Free gets 7 downloads for life (personal use only), Pro gets 20 a month, Premier gets 60 a month, and Premier users working in Studio download without limits. Quotas apply to your entire back catalogue, don't roll over, and reset on your billing date. Duplicate downloads of the same song don't count twice, and a full stem export counts as one. Extra downloads are purchasable.
Can I sell music made with Suno?
Yes, on a paid plan. Suno's docs state that Pro and Premier subscribers own their songs and receive a commercial-use licence, with 0% royalties owed. Two caveats: from September, commercial use is tied to obtaining an authorised download, and purely AI-generated audio may not qualify for copyright registration - so you can sell it but may not be able to defend it. Adding your own lyrics or played MIDI parts helps.
What happens if I cancel?
Songs you generated while subscribed keep their commercial licence - cancelling doesn't revoke rights you already earned. What stops is new entitlements: anything created after cancellation falls under free-tier terms, and purchased top-up credits only persist while a subscription is active. Your library stays accessible for streaming and sharing.
Is Suno Studio worth the Premier upgrade?
If you open it weekly, yes. Studio 2.0 added MIDI recording and a piano roll, a wavetable synth, seven effects, buildable plugins, automation and advanced stem separation - and editing in it costs no credits. The unlimited-download exemption alone can justify the difference. If you mostly generate finished songs and rarely edit, Pro plus a DAW you already own is cheaper.
Are there student, team or enterprise plans?
Suno's public pricing covers three consumer tiers - Free, Pro and Premier - with no advertised student discount or seat-based team plan. Commercial rights on Pro and Premier already permit client work, so freelancers are covered by a standard subscription. For higher-volume programmatic use, generation is available through API platforms priced separately from these plans.
Are prices about to change again?
The sticker prices haven't moved, but what they buy has changed twice in August 2026 - Studio 2.0 landed on the 13th and download caps arrive on 3 September. Suno also has new models developed with the music industry in the pipeline, with older versions being retired as they launch. Check suno.com/pricing before subscribing; this page is updated but Suno revises limits periodically.
Pick the plan that matches what you release
Credits decide how much you can make. From September, downloads decide how much you can actually use - and that's the number worth choosing on.
