Pros and cons

Shortcut

Pros

  • Covers Excel add-in, web, Windows desktop, CLI and API from one product.
  • Finance-specific focus on LBO, DCF and three-statement models with source tracing.
  • Permanent free tier with 20 weekly credits.
  • Enterprise security options include SOC 2 Type II, BYOK and on-premises deployment.
  • Public Platform API with webhooks and an OpenAPI spec.

Cons

  • Pro costs $100/month billed annually, well above general-purpose AI assistants.
  • Credit-based usage (2 to 15 credits per message) makes costs hard to predict; a Trustpilot reviewer reported credits cut after switching to an annual plan and slow support.
  • Desktop agent is listed for Windows only, and there is no mobile app.
  • Published benchmark claims are vendor-run, and the Teams pricing is inconsistent across pages.

Suno

Pros

  • Creates full songs with vocals and lyrics from a short prompt or your own lyrics
  • Free plan with 50 daily credits and access to v6-mini
  • Edits a single section, line or word without regenerating the song
  • Web, iOS and Android apps
  • Premier includes Suno Studio with MIDI, effects and multitrack export

Cons

  • Free plan songs cannot be used commercially and are owned by Suno
  • Song downloads are capped at 20 per month on Pro and 60 on Premier, with none on the free plan
  • Suno Studio, personas and advanced stem splitting require the $30 Premier plan
  • Music made entirely by AI may not qualify for copyright protection
  • No public self-serve API; Universal Music Group and Sony Music lawsuits against Suno are reported as still ongoing
