Stable Audio vs Suno

A credit and a download

Stable Audio generates a full mix or separate tracks, up to 6 minutes, in a web app and a DAW plugin. Free is $0 for 50 credits a month, which the page calls about 12 full-mix generations or 8 multi-track generations. That plan is personal and non-commercial. Solo is $12/month for 660 credits, about 165 full mixes or 110 multi-track, with a commercial license. Session is $30/month for 1,800 credits. Producer is $90/month for 6,000. Studio is $199/month for 14,000. The page says the credit amount resets to the monthly allocation every month.

Suno generates a song. Premier is the plan that lists adding vocals or instrumentals to an existing song. Free is $0: 50 credits a day, 4 generations in a shared queue, uploads up to 8 minutes, no commercial rights, and no monthly song downloads. Pro is $10/month, or $8/month billed yearly. The yearly card says that saves $24. Pro includes 2,500 credits a month, 20 song downloads, and commercial use rights. Premier is $30/month, or $24/month billed yearly, and that card says yearly billing saves $72: 10,000 credits, 60 downloads, and commercial use rights. The annual toggle says save 20%. Included credits do not carry over from day to day or month to month.

What you are allowed to publish

Both free plans refuse a commercial use. Stable Audio says the free plan is personal and non-commercial. Suno says the free plan has no commercial rights and no monthly song downloads, so the free plan does not hand you a file for the timeline. A show with ads, a sponsor, or a paid feed needs a paid plan on either tool, and the terms still govern that use. Suno's page points at the terms for the limits on commercial use.

Stable Audio's paid plans include a commercial license on the hosted app, and the same account opens as a plugin inside a session. Suno's paid plans add downloads, stem separation, and, on Premier, Suno Studio. Enterprise on Stable Audio is for a company with annual revenue over $1 million that wants the models on its own infrastructure. That is a different purchase from a host making an intro.

The tool that finishes the mix

Neither generator levels the voice. Auphonic does: free covers 2 hours a month, and those productions include a jingle. The first monthly plan is $13 for 9 hours. Drop the sting into the edit, then run a loudness pass. The AI music for a podcast intro page is the longer note on using a generated intro without pretending the generator edited the episode. The Podcast editing list is the rest of the editors.
