Suno vs Udio
Suno and Udio are AI song generators: type a prompt (or lyrics) and get a full track with vocals. Their entry plans cost the same; the differences are in how credits work and what the pricing pages say about commercial use.
Everything here comes from the two vendors' pricing pages, re-checked on Oct 20, 2026, 10 PM ET. Where a page doesn't say something, we mark it unverified rather than guess. We don't judge which sounds better.

How many songs do you get?
Udio is the only one of the two that states a per-song cost: 1 credit is about one 30-second audio track. Each generation makes 2 tracks, so it costs 2 credits. So Standard's 2,400 credits a month are about 1,200 generations (2,400 tracks of around 30 seconds each).
Suno's page lists credits (Pro includes 2,500 credits and 20 song downloads a month; Premier includes 10,000 credits a month) and song downloads, but not credits per song, so we can't convert it. That figure is unverified.

Commercial rights
Suno: Free gives 50 credits per day, with no commercial rights, no monthly song downloads and no add-on credit purchases. Pro lists commercial use rights; Suno points to its terms of service for limits on commercial use.
Udio: unverified. Its pricing page doesn't state commercial-use rights per plan, so check Udio's terms of service before you publish or monetize a track.
