Suno — Full Profile (English, 2026-08)
1. One-line positioning
Suno = prompt-to-full-song AI music generator (vocals + lyrics + full arrangement) with the v5.5 model, verified vocal cloning (Voices), custom-style fine-tunes (Custom Models), Suno Studio browser DAW, and stem export — credit-based freemium, no public API, downloads capped from 2026-09-03. It is the highest-volume consumer AI music app (~7M tracks/day), not a voice generator or an ASR tool.

access_type:web-app, mobileaccess_display: 🌐 Web App (suno.com) · 📱 iOS/Android- No desktop client, no offline mode, no public API (partner intake only).
5. Who should use it
- Content creators / YouTubers / Reels makers — BGM + vocals in one prompt, Pro commercial rights cover client work
- Songwriters prototyping — hear a chorus in 3 genres in 60 sec, Voices keeps your own vocal timbre
- Indie devs / game jams — loop/sample generation via Sounds mode, stems into DAW
- Agencies needing 20–60 exported tracks/mo — Pro/Premier download cap is the real limiter, not credits
- Non-musicians — “lo-fi study beat about rain” → full song, no DAW knowledge
- Artists training Custom Models — fine-tune v5.5 on own discography for stylistic continuity
6. Who should NOT use it
- Label-grade commercial masters with 100% exclusivity — Warner settled/licensed Nov 2025, Universal/Sony suits still open mid-2026; “commercial rights” ≠ “copyright-clean in every jurisdiction”
- Teams needing programmatic generation in production — no public API; third-party wrappers violate ToS/licence chain
- High-volume export houses — 20 (Pro) / 60 (Premier) downloads/mo from 9/3/26 is tight; Studio unlimited export helps Premier only
- Classical/jazz precision scoring — prompt model, not notation engine; Udio edges some acoustic genres
- Podcast post-filler removal → Cleanvoice; live call cleanup → Krisp; voiceover TTS → Murf/Resemble; transcription → Whisper/Otter
- Free-tier users expecting usable exports — 9/3/26 kills free downloads entirely
