How Much Does AI Music Generation Cost?

Published 18 January 2026

Short answer

Most AI music tools use a freemium model: a free tier with daily limits, then paid plans (often a few dollars to ~$30/month) for more generations and commercial rights. Autunes offers a generous free tier — 25 starting credits plus 20 free daily — and India-friendly paid plans billed via Razorpay (UPI, cards, wallets).

AI music pricing almost always follows a freemium structure: you can try it free, then pay for more output and commercial usage. The details vary by tool.

What you get for free

Autunes gives you 25 credits to start and 20 free credits every day, which is enough to keep making songs without paying. Suno and Udio also have free tiers, generally with tighter daily limits and non-commercial terms.

Paid plans and Indian pricing

When you need higher volume or commercial rights, Autunes offers paid plans billed through Razorpay, so you can pay with UPI, cards or wallets — which is far more convenient for Indian users than card-only international checkouts.

  • Free: 25 starting credits + 20 daily.
  • Paid: more generations + commercial licence.
  • Razorpay: UPI, cards and wallets supported.

Where the cost actually goes

The price of a generated song tracks the compute behind it, which is why length and model choice move it while genre and language do not. A five-minute high-fidelity track is several times the work of a ninety-second draft on the faster model.

Compared with the alternatives the arithmetic is stark: a session musician, a studio hour and a mixing pass are each priced per attempt too, but each attempt costs orders of magnitude more and takes days rather than minutes.

  • Cost scales with song length and model, not genre or language.
  • Drafting on the faster model keeps iteration cheap.
  • No per-track licensing fee on top on paid plans.
