Suno in 2026: Make Full Songs from a Prompt
If you build side projects, apps, or content, royalty-free music is a recurring pain. Suno turns a prompt into a finished song - here's the practical rundown.
What it does
- Text to full song - lyrics or just a mood ('mellow city pop, summer night') -> a track with vocals.
- v5.5 - songs up to 8 minutes, structured intro to outro.
- Voices - record a short sample, verify, and sing in your own voice.
- Custom Models - upload 6+ of your tracks to learn your style (Pro keeps up to 3).
- Extend / add vocals - continue an unfinished track or lay vocals over instrumentals.
Pricing (and the one rule that matters)
- Free: 50 credits/day (~10 songs), non-commercial only
- Pro $10/mo: 2,500 credits, commercial license, v5.5, Voices
- Premier $30/mo: 10,000 credits
Free songs can't be monetized - upgrade to Pro before generating anything you'll ship.
Gotchas
Same prompt, different result each time (generate a few, pick one). Avoid mimicking a real artist's identifiable style. It won't take fine, iterative feedback like a human engineer.
