The catch with Sonura's free plan is rights. Free creations are public domain (CC0) and public by default, so exclusive commercial rights need a paid plan. Pro is $20 a month with no contracts (the page shows a struck-through $40 list price), and monthly credit caps apply: 500 loops and up to 200 full tracks on Pro. Priority support is only on Pro and Max. Prices checked on 2026-10-02.
Suno creates full songs with vocals and instrumentals from text prompts; its Pro plan is $8 a month, and it has a free plan. Our data does not say whether Suno's free output is public. ElevenLabs is wider: text-to-speech, voice cloning, dubbing, transcription and music, with Starter (Creative) at $6 a month and a free plan. If you want loops and one-shots for production work, check how each handles commercial licensing before you switch.
