What we checked on every free plan
"Free" can mean ten songs a day you can't download, or three songs you can. So we checked each vendor's own pricing and help pages for the allowance, model, downloads and commercial use. Few mention watermarks, so check the terms before you publish.
1. Soundverse: best free plan for making and finishing a song
Soundverse's free plan is a trial: 1,000 one-time tokens for 3 full-length songs in total on the Soundverse v5 model. What sets it apart is everything around those songs. Free already includes:
- AI Studio, the in-browser multitrack studio: 3 projects of 3 tracks each, with MP3 and 720p video export.
- Agent One, the AI music producer that plans, generates, edits and arranges in one chat, in Flash mode (one tool per turn).
- More than 20 free tools, including the AI Song Generator, AI Singing Generator, AI Lyrics Writer, Melody to Song, MIDI to Song and Audio Editor.
- 5 unique MP3 downloads a month and 200 MB of storage.
Free tracks carry a Personal license, not one for monetized or commercial release.
Paid from: Creator is $12.49/mo ($9.99 billed yearly), with v6 and newer models, WAV and stem export, 50 unique downloads a month, a Royalty Free license and tools like Voice Clone and Extend. Pro ($31.24/mo) adds Soundverse v9 and a Sample license. Max (from $72/mo) carries the Distribution license, and self-serve distribution to 150+ stores is coming to Max in early November 2026.
Where it stops: three songs is a taste, not a daily allowance. Suno, Mureka and Flow Music give you more free generations. That's deliberate: Soundverse is the AI record label for independent artists, and its free plan lets you try the whole path, from idea to studio edit, before you pay to release.
Watch: one prompt becomes a full track in 1 minute 14 seconds on Soundverse for Android.
2. Suno: best for trying lots of song ideas
Suno has a generous daily allowance: 50 credits a day, which Suno puts at about 10 songs, on its v6-mini model. The catch is what you can do with them. Its pricing page lists no monthly song downloads and no stem separation on Free, and its FAQ says: "Free plans don't include commercial rights."
Paid from: Pro is $10/mo ($8/mo billed yearly) with 2,500 credits, 20 song downloads a month, the v6 and v6-wild models and commercial use rights. Premier is $30/mo ($24/mo billed yearly).
Worth knowing: to edit and release in one place, see Soundverse vs Suno.
Watch: a blind test of 8 songs made from the same prompts on Soundverse v9 and Suno v6.
3. Google Flow Music: best free plan for downloads
Google Flow Music is the app formerly known as Riffusion (riffusion.com now redirects to it). Free runs on daily top-up credits, and the plan comparison lists Google's Lyria models, MP3, WAV and M4A downloads and stem downloads on every plan, Free included.
Paid from: Starter is $8/mo ($6/mo billed yearly) with 3,000 credits a month, which Flow Music puts at about 600 songs. Plus is $24/mo and Member is $64/mo.
Where it stops: the pricing page doesn't say how many credits the daily top-up adds or what commercial use Free allows, so read the terms before you release. See Soundverse vs Google Flow Music.
4. Udio: best for short experiments with fine control
Udio is known for detailed control. On Free you can extend and remix songs and use Styles as a reference; editing music and lyrics is paid. Free accounts get 10 credits a day plus a monthly limit of 100, and at most three 130-second songs a day.
Where it stops: Udio's help center says that, as part of its partnership with Universal Music Group, "downloading of audio, video, and stems has been disabled." Songs you make there stay on the platform.
Paid from: Standard is $10/mo ($96 billed yearly) with 2,400 credits a month. Pro is $30/mo with 6,000. See Soundverse vs Udio.
5. Mureka: best for several free songs a day
Mureka gives free users a daily Gold allowance, listed as up to 4 songs a day, on its V7.5 model in a shared creation queue. The free plan lists no commercial use and no add-on Gold purchases.
Paid from: Pro is $10/mo ($96 billed yearly). It unlocks the V9.5, V9, V8 and O2 models, up to 500 songs a month, MP3 downloads with no monthly cap and full commercial rights, including for songs made before upgrading. Premier ($30/mo) adds WAV, stems, MIDI and Mureka Studio.
Worth knowing: commercial rights that cover past creations make the upgrade easy to justify. See Soundverse vs Mureka.
6. ElevenLabs (Eleven Music): best if you already use ElevenLabs for voice
ElevenLabs gives free users 10,000 credits a month, shared across speech, sound effects and Eleven Music. Music costs about 900 credits a minute, so that's roughly 11 minutes of music if you spend nothing on voice.
Paid from: Starter is $6/mo ($5/mo billed yearly), the first plan with a commercial license and music commercial use. Creator is $22/mo.
Where it stops: music and voice share one credit pool. See Soundverse vs ElevenLabs Music.
7. Stable Audio: best free plan with a commercial license
Stable Audio gives free users 50 credits a month. A full mix costs 4 credits, so that's about 12 full mixes or 8 multi-track generations. Unusually, its pricing page lists a commercial license on Free too.
Paid from: Solo is $12/mo for 660 credits, and paid plans generate tracks of any length up to 6 minutes.
Worth knowing: it's built for iterating on music and sound, not one-click songs. Read its terms for the details of the free license. See Soundverse vs Stable Audio.
8. Treblo (formerly Sonauto): best for free, high-volume experiments
Treblo is the new name for Sonauto, and sonauto.ai now redirects to treblo.com. Its iOS App Store listing, published by Sonauto, inc., sums up the pitch: "For free. No limits."
Worth knowing: we couldn't confirm its download or commercial terms on an official page, so check treblo.com before you release. See Soundverse vs Treblo.
9. ACE-Step and MusicGen: best free option if you have the hardware
Open-source models cost nothing per song. You pay in setup time and hardware.
- ACE-Step 1.5 is the one to try for full songs. It's MIT-licensed, supports lyrics in 50+ languages and generates up to 10 minutes. Its team says it runs with under 4GB of VRAM, and it supports Apple Silicon Macs.
- MusicGen, part of Meta's AudioCraft, is a research model. Its weights are CC-BY-NC 4.0 (non-commercial), its model card says it "is not able to generate realistic vocals," and the docs recommend a 16GB GPU.
Where it stops: no studio, no hosted library and no support. See Soundverse vs MusicGen.
When a free plan stops being enough
- You want to release or monetize. Almost every free plan here is personal or non-commercial. On Soundverse, Creator adds a Royalty Free license, Pro a Sample license and Max the Distribution license.
- You need better files. On Soundverse, WAV and stem export start on Creator.
- You hit the allowance. Soundverse Free is 3 songs in total; Creator gives you 4,000 tokens and 50 unique downloads a month.
