Existing songs can be extended, covered, remixed and split into stems.

Commercial use — Permitted subject to conditions

Ownership is tier-dependent, and Suno gives no warranty that copyright vests in the output at all. Its help centre notes fully AI-generated songs may not be copyrightable in the US. The UMG and Sony claims from the 2024 RIAA suit are not reported as settled.

Who owns the output: depends on your plan tier

  • Depends on your plan tier. On free Basic, Suno owns the songs and use is personal and non-commercial. On Pro and Premier, Suno assigns its rights in the output to you.
  • Attribution required. Attribution to Suno is required on the free plan.

This entry was written by hand from the licence wording quoted above, because the source dataset's yes/no field was misleading here. Read the licence before you rely on any of this. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and this site does not tell you a model is cleared for commercial use.

Maximum duration is not established here. That means no page we could retrieve stated it, not that the model lacks one.

Strengths

  • Highest-profile consumer song generator with vocals and lyrics
  • Deep post-generation toolkit: extend, cover, persona, remix, stem separation
  • Stems and multitrack export make output usable in a real DAW
  • Explicit output assignment to paid users in the Terms of Service

Weaknesses

  • No official public API as of mid-2026, only partner beta
  • Free tier is non-commercial and loses downloads entirely from 3 Sep 2026
  • New monthly download caps (20 Pro / 60 Premier) limit high-volume video work
  • Maximum song length for v5.5 is not documented; only v4.5 has a published 8-minute first-generation limit
  • Unresolved major-label litigation creates clearance risk for broadcast use

Best for

Where the sources disagree

Recorded rather than resolved. Picking the tidier number would hide the fact that the vendor's own pages do not agree.

What to understand before using it

Explainers naming the mechanisms this model's own documentation mentions.

MCP servers that front Suno

Servers in the media MCP directory whose own description or homepage names this vendor. Absence of a server here is not evidence that none exists: most publish no tool list at all.

Shotcraft hosts no sample output. Judging a model means watching its own showreel with your own eyes, and a clip re-hosted here would be a clip we chose.
