Best for the job8 picks · updated Oct 10, 2026
For full songs with vocals from a text prompt, pick Suno: free daily credits, with commercial rights from $8 a month. Udio is the alternative at $10 a month, with extend, remix and inpaint. Producers who want loops and stems should pick Sonura. All 8 picks have a free tier, and 6 publish a USD price.
The biggest difference is rights. Free plans usually exclude commercial use: Suno's free plan has no commercial use or downloads, Sonura's free output is public domain (CC0), and YuE2's weights are non-commercial. Paid plans add rights and more credits. Tools also differ in output: Suno, Udio and Google Flow Music make full songs, Sonura makes loops and stems, and Audjust AI fits existing music to a video length.
