Paste your lyrics, tag the verse and chorus you actually wrote, describe the sound in one line, and hear a full song with vocals come back. Generating a full song is a paid action: buy a single song for $1.99, or spend credits from a one-time pack that never expires.
One song for $1.99, no subscription · One-time credit packs never expire · Commercial use license included · 14 structure tags the model reads
Write it, hear it
Write the verse, mark where the chorus lands, describe the sound in a line, and press Generate. Every field stays editable before you sign in and the demo songs play without an account - and because generating a full song is paid, Generate shows you the price first: $1.99 for one song if you have no credits yet.

Compare the two on the rows that decide whether you can finish a song today. Every Suno figure below comes from Suno's own published pricing page, and where no primary source exists we say so instead of inventing a number.
| What you are comparing | Seed Audio | Suno |
|---|---|---|
| Full song length | Across our own sample of seven MiniMax tracks, songs ran 1:31 to 2:50 with a median of 2:06. Length follows your lyrics volume and structure tags - fal's schema exposes no duration parameter at all, so no length can be dialled in. The engine's documented ceiling is around six minutes, which is a maximum rather than a typical result. | Not published. Suno's pricing page states no maximum song length, so we do not put a number here. |
| Credits on signup | A 30-credit signup grant, at one credit per second of audio. That funds the editor and the demo strip, not a full song - song generation is paid, starting at $1.99 for one song. | 50 credits renew daily on the Free plan. |
| Credit expiry | One-time credit packs never expire - 1,500 credits for $9.99 and 6,000 for $29.99. Plan credits are different: Pro credits reset with the billing cycle, and the signup grant expires after 365 days. | Subscription credits do not carry over from day to day or month to month; purchased top-up credits need an active subscription to spend. |
| Model version by plan | Every generation runs the current full model - a $1.99 single song reaches the same engine as the $199 plan. No model version is reserved for a higher tier. | The Free plan has access to v4.5-all; Pro and Premier reach v5.5. |
| Commercial use | Commercial use license included, granted under our Terms. | No commercial use on the Free plan; Pro and Premier include commercial use rights for new songs made. |
| Price | $1.99 for a single song, which is the entry point because song generation is paid. One-time credit packs at $9.99 for 1,500 credits and $29.99 for 6,000, and the credits in those packs never expire. Pro at $199 per month for 45,000 credits. | Free at $0. Pro at $8 per month and Premier at $24 per month, both billed yearly, with 2,500 and 10,000 credits refreshing monthly. |
| Generation speed | Runs on the lower-latency current MiniMax endpoint, and a failed job costs you nothing. We publish no wall-clock figure until we have measured our own median. | Not published. Paid plans advertise a priority queue, which implies queueing below them but states no time. |

Weigh the rest before you commit. Each of these solves a different problem, and two of them beat us outright on the axis they care about - you should know that before you pick. And if it is Suno's own sound you actually want, our Suno AI Text to Song Generator runs Suno models directly.
Generates full songs with vocals and built a strong reputation for arrangement quality, with a modest daily credit allowance plus a monthly pool. It is mid-transition after settling with Universal and Warner in late 2025, moving toward a licensed platform with tighter controls on downloads.
Started as the open-source project that made diffusion-based music generation famous, became Producer.ai, and was acquired by Google in February 2026. The riffusion.com domain now redirects to Google's Flow Music, so anyone searching for Riffusion today lands on a Google product built around Lyria models.
Stability AI's audio model family, now at Stable Audio 3.0, trained on licensed data and able to produce tracks up to around six minutes with smaller variants released as open weights. It is built for instrumental music and sound design rather than songs with sung vocals, so it solves a different problem than this page does.
Produces full songs with vocals and lyrics up to ten minutes on its Music v2 model, with a generous credit allowance that resets each billing cycle. Its licensing story is the strongest in this list, built on agreements with Merlin Network and Kobalt, though self-serve commercial use excludes film, TV and large studio games.
Not affiliated with Suno, Inc. Suno figures are quoted from its own published pricing page.
Commercial use license included, granted under our Terms.
An independent third-party service. Songs are generated with MiniMax Music through fal, called only from our own server.
Sign-in is required to generate, and generating a full song is a paid action - one song is $1.99. The generator stays fully editable before you sign in.
Length follows your lyrics and tags; across our own seven-track sample songs ran 1:31 to 2:50, median 2:06.
Demo songs on this page were generated with MiniMax Music, and each caption describes the style of the track rather than a prompt string we never published.
Suno figures read from suno.com/pricing on 2026-07-29 and may change.
Credits settle only when a finished song is delivered. Generation failed - you were not charged.
Pay once, keep it
Pay only for the songs you actually generate - full-song generation is a paid action here, and the cheapest way in is a single-song purchase at $1.99. After that, the credits in a one-time pack never expire and carry no subscription behind them.
Read the parts most comparison pages skip - what actually powers this, what generating a song costs, and what the license does and does not give you.
MiniMax Music 2.6, served through fal. We name the engine because you deserve to know what you are building a workflow on. The model reads your lyrics, your structure tags and your style description together, and it exposes no duration control - song length emerges from how much you write and how you tag it. The demo songs on this page were generated with MiniMax Music too.
Not for the generating part, and we would rather say so up front. You can open this Suno alternative, write lyrics, insert all 14 structure tags and play every demo song without paying anything. Generating your own full song is paid: press Generate, sign in, and if you have no credits or plan you are offered one song for $1.99. At one credit per second of audio, a signup grant was never going to fund a two-minute song, so we price it honestly instead of dangling a run you cannot complete.
No - generating a song costs money here. What you get without paying is the full editor, all 14 structure tags, and demo songs you can listen to before deciding. When you want your own song, the entry price is $1.99 for a single song with no subscription attached, and a one-time credit pack is the cheaper route per song after that because the credits in a pack never expire.
$1.99 for a single song if you are just trying it, with nothing to cancel afterwards. Beyond that you buy a one-time credit pack and spend it at one credit per second of audio, so a two-minute song is around 120 credits - and unspent pack credits are still there months later. Credits settle only when a finished song is delivered, so you were not charged for a run that failed.
It depends on how much licensing provenance you need. Here, a commercial use license is included with every song you generate, granted under our Terms, including the $1.99 single song. If your work demands named upstream rights agreements, ElevenLabs Music has the strongest story in this category through its Merlin and Kobalt deals - we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. Note that Suno's own free plan carries no commercial use rights at all.
Across the seven MiniMax tracks we have measured ourselves, songs ran from 1:31 to 2:50 with a median of 2:06 - that is a real sample, not a promise. There is no length slider and the API exposes no duration parameter at all, so length emerges from how much you write and how you tag it: more verses and more sections make a longer arrangement. That is why the lyrics box takes up to 3,500 characters. The engine's documented ceiling is around six minutes, which is a maximum rather than something to expect.
Credits in a one-time pack never expire - 1,500 for $9.99 and 6,000 for $29.99 - so an unused balance is still there for the next project. Plan credits are different: Pro credits reset with the billing cycle, and the 30-credit signup grant expires after 365 days. Credits settle only when a finished song is delivered, so you were not charged for a run that failed.
You can open the generator, write lyrics, insert structure tags and set your style description before signing in, and you can play the demo songs too. Sign-in is checked when you press Generate, and you come straight back to the page with every field intact. Generating is also a paid action, so if you have no credits or plan the next step is a $1.99 single-song purchase.
Be clear on the trade first: Suno's Free plan does let you generate without paying, and this page does not. What $1.99 buys you is the current full model rather than an older one - Suno's Free plan runs v4.5-all while its paid plans reach v5.5 - plus a commercial use license, which Suno's free plan does not grant at all. If generating at no charge matters more to you than model version or licensing, Suno's free plan is the better fit and we will not pretend otherwise. Both Suno facts come from suno.com/pricing.
Then use Suno's models. If it is specifically Suno's sound you are after, our Suno AI Text to Song Generator runs Suno models through an API rather than switching you to a different engine - it is the better page for that job, and we would rather send you there than sell you a substitute you did not want.
Use the AI Singing Generator instead. For a 15-second sung clip - a birthday song with someone's name in it, a meme line, or a short-video sound - a full arranged song is the wrong shape and costs you more credits than the job needs.
You get the finished song in the player with its runtime shown, and you download the audio file to keep. Downloading is not gated behind a higher plan.
Your lyrics go in verbatim, up to 3,500 characters, and the 14 bracketed structure tags tell the model where each section starts and ends. That is the fix for the most common complaint about generated songs - that the model rewrites your chorus or invents a bridge you never wrote. Leave the lyrics box empty and the style description alone will generate words to match.
Match your idea to the surface built for it and skip a round of rework - not every idea wants a full arranged song.
Write four lines, tag a chorus, and hear where it goes. Sign in when you press Generate, buy a single song for $1.99 on the same full model the top plan runs, and leave with a track you can license for commercial work.
