How Do Downloads Work on Autunes, and Which Option Should You Choose?

Published 22 October 2026

Short answer

Making and listening to songs is free; you pay to keep the file. On the free plan, one song’s download is ₹9, and that song is yours with commercial use. If you pay ₹99 or more in one go, for example a 50-credit top-up, every song you make after that downloads free. Pro (₹599/month) lets you download any of your songs and adds 300 credits a month. One or two songs: pay ₹9 each. A handful over the season: pay ₹99 once before you make them. Making songs every week: Pro.

On Autunes, generating a song and listening to it are not where the money is. You can make a song, play it as often as you like and share its link without paying. What costs money is the file itself: the MP3 you keep, post on your channel or play at the function.

Since 19 October 2026 there are three ways to get that file. This guide explains each one in plain numbers and helps you pick.

Option 1: ₹9 per song

On the free plan, every song has a Download button with a one-time price of ₹9. Pay once and that song is yours: you get the file and you can use it commercially, for example in a business reel or a monetised video. You never pay for that song again.

This is the right choice if you made one song for one occasion, such as a birthday, an anniversary or a Diwali greeting, and you just want to keep it.

Option 2: pay ₹99 or more once, and later songs download free

If you make a single payment of ₹99 or more, every song you make after that payment downloads free, with the same commercial use. The simplest way is a credit top-up: you can buy any amount from 5 to 500 credits at about ₹2 per credit, and 50 credits cost ₹99. So the ₹99 is not a fee on top; it buys credits you will use to make those songs anyway, and the free downloads come with it. Credits never expire.

The word that matters is “after”. Songs you made before the payment still cost ₹9 each to download. If you are planning a batch, say five songs for the festive season or a set for a sangeet, make the payment first and then create the songs.

  • 50 credits for ₹99: about five Zori5 Turbo songs (10 credits each) or three Zori5.5 XL songs (15 credits each).
  • 100 credits for ₹199, if you want more room.
  • Short clips for Reels cost even less: 2 credits for 15 seconds, 3 for 30 seconds.

Option 3: Pro (or Creator)

Pro is ₹599 a month, or ₹6,589 a year. It includes 300 credits every month, downloads of any of your songs, commercial use with 0% royalties, and the right to release your songs on Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn and YouTube. It also unlocks Zori5.5 XL on any prompt, Auto-Fix and the line picker for wrong words, uploading your own track to remix, and the Studio tools.

Creator (₹2,999 a month, 1,100 credits) is for heavier use: songs up to 5 minutes, Long Forms such as a full chalisa or qawwali up to about 12 minutes, and singing a song in your own voice.

Which one should you choose?

A quick way to decide is to count how many songs you will want to keep over the next month or two.

  • One or two songs: ₹9 each. A birthday song and a Diwali song cost ₹18 in downloads.
  • Three to ten songs, once in a while: pay ₹99 once, before you make them. You get 50 credits for making songs and every song after that downloads free. Eleven ₹9 downloads would already cost ₹99.
  • A song or more every week, for a channel, a business or clients: Pro. 300 credits a month is about 30 Turbo songs or 20 XL songs, every song downloads, and the editing tools save credits you would otherwise spend on remakes.
  • Long devotional pieces, 5-minute songs or your own voice: Creator.

A few worked examples

Priya makes one song for her parents’ anniversary on the free signup credits. She pays ₹9 and keeps it. Total: ₹9.

Rahul wants a Diwali song, a Bhai Dooj song and three short Reels for his sweet shop. He buys 50 credits for ₹99 first, makes all five, and downloads every one free. Total: ₹99.

A small YouTube channel posts two songs a week. That is 8 or more songs a month, plus remakes and edits. Pro at ₹599 covers the credits and the downloads, and a yearly plan brings the monthly cost down.

Other downloads with their own prices

Music videos made from your own clip in Drops have their own download: ₹19 on the free plan, included on Pro. Karaoke passes (₹99 for 30 songs or ₹199 unlimited, for 30 days) are for singing along and are separate from song downloads. Outside India, the same prices are shown at local rates on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ₹99 payment make songs I already made free to download?

No. It covers every song you make after the payment. Songs made before it are still ₹9 each, so pay first if you are planning a batch.

Does it have to be a single payment of ₹99?

Yes, ₹99 or more in one go, such as a 50-credit top-up. Several smaller payments do not add up to it.

Can I use a ₹9 song commercially?

Yes. The per-song download includes commercial use of that song, forever. The same applies to songs that download free after a ₹99+ payment.

If I cancel Pro, can I still use the songs I downloaded?

Yes. Songs you made and downloaded on a paid plan stay yours, with commercial use and 0% royalties.

Do credits from a top-up expire?

No. Top-up credits never expire, so a ₹99 top-up bought for Diwali still works for a wedding song later.
