Can you use Suno songs commercially? What each plan allows
Updated · Suno facts checked on against its own pages
The short answerAccording to Suno’s own pages, songs made on the free plan are for personal, non-commercial use only. Pro and Premier subscribers can use songs commercially, but Suno’s terms tie that right to output you have obtained as a permitted download within your plan’s monthly allowance. Subscribing does not license songs you made on the free plan by default.
What does each Suno plan allow?
- Free: Suno’s pricing page lists "No commercial rights". Its help center says free-plan songs are for personal, non-commercial use and cannot be monetized, though they can be shared with a Suno link.
- Pro ($10 a month, or $8 billed yearly): commercial use rights, with 20 song downloads a month.
- Premier ($30 a month, or $24 billed yearly): commercial use rights, with 60 song downloads a month, and Suno Studio.
Does commercial use depend on downloading the song?
Yes, according to Suno’s terms. They allow commercial exploitation of output you have obtained as a permitted download, in line with the download allowance of your plan, and say that output you have not downloaded through an approved channel may not be commercially exploited. Rights from a permitted download are perpetual: they are not affected by running out of downloads, by later changes to allowances or pricing, or by cancelling, downgrading or suspending your subscription.
In practice, the number of songs you can use commercially in a month is the number you can download. See the Suno download limit guide for how the allowances work.
What about songs I made before I subscribed?
Suno’s help center says subscribing to Pro or Premier does not give you retroactive commercial use licensing for songs made on the free plan by default. It adds that Suno may offer retroactive rights in certain cases, but this is not guaranteed and applies only to specific songs. Songs you make while subscribed stay yours to use after you cancel.
Do you own a Suno song?
The wording differs between Suno’s pages. Its help center says Suno owns songs made on the free plan, and that if you make songs while subscribed to Pro or Premier, you own them. Its terms say that Suno assigns to Pro and Premier subscribers its rights in output it owns, subject to the terms, including the commercial use restrictions, and that Suno makes no representation that any copyright will vest in any output.
Suno also notes that output may not be unique across users. And owning a song under a service’s terms is not the same as holding a copyright: Suno says granting commercial use rights does not guarantee copyright protection. See can you copyright AI music?.
What should I check before publishing a Suno song?
- The song was made, and downloaded through Suno, while you had a paid plan.
- You used one of your plan’s downloads for it, not a free trial download.
- It is not a remix of someone else’s song: Suno’s terms keep remixes personal and non-commercial.
- Your distributor or platform accepts AI-generated music.
Suno changes its plans and terms often. Read its own pages, linked below, before you rely on any of this.
Is there a simpler option?
Miredo gives every paid account a permanent commercial-use right on all its songs, with unlimited downloads, so there is no allowance to count. See commercial use, or how it compares on the Suno alternative page.
