## FAQ

**Is Suno free?**

Yes. The free plan gives 50 credits per day and the v6-mini model, but songs are for non-commercial use only and Suno owns them. Pro costs $10 per month and Premier $30 per month.

**Can I use Suno songs commercially?**

Only on a paid plan. According to Suno's help center, Pro and Premier subscribers own their songs and can monetize them. Songs made on the free plan are owned by Suno and limited to non-commercial use.

**Are songs made with Suno protected by copyright?**

Not necessarily. Suno's help center says songs made entirely by AI may not qualify for copyright in the US, and that writing a prompt does not count as creating the song. Some distributors exclude songs that are not eligible.

**What is Suno Studio?**

Suno Studio is a browser-based music production environment with a timeline, MIDI, audio effects, automation, stem separation and a chat bar. Studio 2.0 was announced on 13 August 2026 and is available to Premier subscribers.

**Which models does Suno offer?**

v6 and v6-wild are available on Pro and Premier, and v6-mini is available to all users. Suno said it will retire its earlier models as v6 rolls out.

**Does Suno have an API?**

Not a public self-serve one. Suno has said it is exploring a developer API with a limited group of partners. Unofficial wrappers exist but are not from Suno.
