   Suno

   Suno still makes the most convincing whole songs from a prompt, but since September you are paying for downloads as much as for generations.

   Price: Free 50 credits/day on v6-mini, no downloads or commercial use; Pro $8/month billed yearly (2,500 credits, 20 downloads); Premier $24/month billed yearly (10,000 credits, 60 downloads, Studio). Extra downloads and credits sold as add-ons.

   Udio

   You can make songs on Udio but you cannot take them anywhere, and the licensed app it is building will not let you own them either.

   Best for: Hobbyists happy to create and listen inside the app; anyone who needs files should look elsewhere.

   Price: Free: 10 credits a day within a 100-credit monthly limit, three 2-minute songs a day. Standard 2,400 credits/month, Pro 6,000. Prices are shown only on the logged-in pricing page; plans launched at $10 and $30/month. No downloads on any plan.
