Most 'free AI Hindi song generator' pages never say plainly what free means. The honest version is worth writing down: what you actually get on Autunes' free tier, in credits and songs, so you know exactly what to expect before you start.
What the free tier actually gives you
You get 15 free credits the moment you sign up, once, no card needed. A full Hindi song on Zori5 Turbo costs 10 credits; if you paste your own lyrics, the free plan uses Zori5.5 XL for 15 credits. Either way a fresh account can make one full song. After that, you buy credits or pick a plan.
- 15 credits once, on signup — enough for one full song (Turbo or, with your own lyrics, XL).
- After that one song, top up credits (any amount from 5 to 500, about ₹2 each, never expiring) or pick a plan.
- No credit card required to start.
- Full 50+ language support, including Hindi, on the free tier.
What actually costs a credit
A credit is spent every time audio is generated — including a take you end up discarding. That matters for how you spend a small one-time balance: every time you regenerate the same hook chasing a slightly better take, credits are spent again, so the free credits do not stretch past one song. Listening, editing lyrics text, and browsing your library do not cost anything. Downloading a song on the Free plan is ₹9 per song; pay ₹99 or more in one go (a credit top-up, for example) and every song you make after that downloads free.
Where the free tier stops
A few things are genuinely gated behind a paid plan: Zori5.5 XL on any prompt (Free gets it only with your own lyrics), Studio tools such as Auto-Fix pronunciation and stems, songs longer than 3 minutes on Creator, and downloads included in the price. Commercial use is not locked away: the ₹9 download of a free-plan song gives you that file with commercial use.
- Zori5.5 XL on any prompt — Pro and Creator; on Free, only when you paste your own lyrics.
- Songs up to 5 minutes — Creator; Long Forms for chalisa/qawwali-length pieces (up to about 12 minutes) — Pro and Creator.
- Downloads — ₹9 per song on Free with commercial use; included on Pro and Creator with 0% royalties.
Making the free credits count
Spend your one free song deliberately. Test with real Hindi lyrics you have actually written — not a generic prompt — because that is the only way to find out whether the pronunciation holds up on the words you actually care about. Pasting your own lyrics also puts the song on XL. If the free tier answers that question well, a ₹9 download or an upgrade later for more songs and Studio tools is a much easier decision.
