This is edition 3, dated 8 Oct 2026\. We keep every edition so you can see how the tool and our verdict have moved — [how and why](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-timeline/). > **Verdict (TL;DR):** Suno rebuilt itself this year. The v6 models that landed on 9 September were developed with Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. Every earlier model has been switched off, and the tool is plainly better. You can change a single lyric or re-sing a chorus in plain English. Studio 2.0 is a real browser DAW with MIDI and user-built plugins. What you should notice is what Pro now buys. Commercial use no longer attaches to your subscription; it attaches to a download, and Pro gives you twenty a month. That is A$15 a month (A$12 billed yearly) for twenty usable tracks — still cheap, but it is a quota, and an agency will hit it. The rights you do get are better than they were: they are perpetual, and they survive cancelling your plan. What you still do not get is any warranty that copyright vests in your song at all. Meanwhile the legal perimeter widened. A Munich court found against Suno in July, and on 18 September Universal and Sony filed a fresh suit aimed at v6 itself. For a birthday song or a demo, buy Pro. For an Australian business putting music into client work, the verdict holds from June, for new reasons. Cheap, brilliant, and still not something you can stand behind. > > *Last reviewed: 8 October 2026 by Adam.* --- ## What changed since our June review Everything material. In June we scored v5.5, a model trained on data the major labels were suing over, on a plan whose downloads were effectively unmetered. None of that is true now. - **v6 launched on 9 September 2026** — v6 and v6-wild on the paid tiers, v6-mini on free. Suno says it will "retire our previous models and move Suno entirely onto the v6 generation." Songs you already made stay in your library and stay remixable. - **v6 was built with the industry.** Suno now licenses from Warner Music Group (November 2025), BMG (12 August 2026) and Believe/TuneCore (8 September 2026). - **Commercial use is metered.** New terms took effect on 3 September 2026\. Free gets no monthly downloads. Pro gets 20 a month, Premier 60, Suno Studio unlimited. - **The legal position got wider, not narrower.** Suno lost to GEMA in Munich on 31 July 2026\. A second US label suit, aimed at v6, was filed on 18 September 2026. ## Who this is for (and who it isn't) **It's for you if** you want finished music without playing an instrument or opening a DAW — a jingle, a demo, a backing track. On Pro you can download and commercially use twenty tracks a month. Those rights stick even if you cancel. **It's not for you if** you need a catalogue you can register, license on or defend. Suno assigns you its interest in your track but warrants nothing about copyright. For an Australian business, a licensed stock library or a human composer remains the clean path. ## What it costs in Australia Suno shows Australian visitors **Australian-dollar prices** (read in a browser on 1 October 2026: the cards show a bare "$", and the page's own price data labels those figures AUD). The prices below are Suno's own. Suno says only "Taxes calculated at checkout". | Plan | Price (AUD, Suno's own) | What you get | | ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Free** | A$0 | The **v6-mini** model; 50 credits renew daily; **no monthly downloads** and **no commercial rights**; standard features only; upload up to 8 min of audio; shared queue (4 at once) | | **Pro** | **A$15/mo (annual A$12/mo, A$144/yr)** | **v6** and **v6-wild**; 2,500 credits/mo; **20 song downloads per month**; **commercial-use rights on downloaded tracks**; two stem-separation modes; personas, Voices, custom models; priority queue; extra credits and downloads purchasable | | **Premier** | **A$45/mo (annual A$35/mo, A$420/yr)** | Everything in Pro, plus **Suno Studio 2.0** (MIDI, automation, user-built plugins, unlimited Studio downloads); 10,000 credits/mo; **60 song downloads per month**; three stem-separation modes; upload up to 30 min | *Plans and allowances verified 20 September 2026 and re-read 8 October 2026; AUD prices read 1 October 2026 at* [*suno.com/pricing*](https://suno.com/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au)*.* **Downloads are the real unit of value, not credits.** Credits buy generations. Only a downloaded track can be used commercially. Twenty downloads for A$15 works out at **75 cents per commercially usable track** on Pro (60 cents billed yearly). Premier's sixty tracks for A$45 costs the same per track. You pay Premier's premium for Studio and stem tooling, not for cheaper songs. **Credits don't roll over.** Subscription credits reset daily and monthly. Purchased top-up credits persist but need an active subscription to use. **GST: unresolved, and we are not going to guess.** Suno's pricing page says only "Taxes calculated at checkout." It now publishes AUD prices, but no GST line and no Australian tax details. We have not seen a Suno tax invoice issued to an Australian subscriber, so we cannot say whether the A$15 includes GST or has it added. Check your own tax invoice after the first billing run. If no GST line appears and no ABN field is offered, treat the full charge as your cost and tell your accountant. **Value verdict — 3/5, down from 4/5 in June.** The headline price did not move. What it buys did. Twenty usable tracks a month is a quota, and the free tier is no longer even a trial of the commercial product. Still cheap. Less generous than the number suggests. ## The objection we raised in June, answered honestly Our June verdict rested on one thing: Suno's models were trained on unlicensed music, and the majors were suing over it. That objection cannot simply be repeated now, because the thing it described has changed. Suno says v6 was "developed with our industry partners, including Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe." The BMG deal covers recordings and publishing. The Believe deal makes tracks built on the partner model eligible for distribution through Believe and TuneCore — two distributors that previously refused Suno-made music. Suno has also published responsibility principles, added audio watermarking and fingerprinting, and screens uploaded audio and lyrics through Audible Magic and Musixmatch. It funds an artist programme, Spark, for unsigned independents. That is a real answer to a real criticism, and we should say so. A tool trained on licensed catalogue, with provenance markers in the output, is not the tool we described in June. It is also not the end of the argument. The licensing covers what Suno trains on now. It does not resolve what it trained on before, and that is what every live case is about. ## Where the law actually sits **Munich, 31 July 2026.** The Landgericht München I ruled for GEMA against Suno (Az. 42 O 763/25). The court largely granted the injunction, disclosure and damages claims, and held Suno — not its users — responsible for the outputs. It found the works had been memorised in models v3.5 and v4 held on servers in Germany. Most importantly for everyone else, it held that reproductions made for and during training in the US were **not** covered by US fair use. The court distinguished the *Bartz v. Anthropic* and *Kadrey v. Meta* rulings, on the basis that the training material there was not substantially reproduced in the outputs. It also recorded that Suno had stream-ripped audio from YouTube. The judgment is not final and an appeal is available. We source this to the court's own press release; we could not find an APRA AMCOS media release on the ruling at apraamcos.com.au. APRA AMCOS did respond. Its chief executive Dean Ormston called the decision **"a warning to every AI developer"**. He said members had found their own songs inside these systems, uninvited and unpaid. The way forward, he said, is negotiation built on consent and payment. That statement reached us only through *Rolling Stone AU/NZ* (3 August 2026), so we attribute it there rather than to a primary APRA AMCOS release. **Boston, still running.** The 2024 case brought by the majors sits in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Its docket was still moving on 18 September 2026\. On that same day Universal and Sony filed a **new** federal suit aimed at v6 itself. An artists' class action over names and likenesses was filed on 31 August 2026, by David Lowery, Jason Isbell, Guy Forsyth and Eduardo Calle. Suno's answer is due 3 November 2026. There is no Australian equivalent case, and no Australian collecting society licenses AI training. So Munich changes nothing an Australian buyer can rely on today. It is still the first judicial statement anywhere that the fair-use argument Suno is running in Boston does not travel. ## What an Australian business actually has to do This is the part nobody writes, so here it is. Two organisations administer music rights here. **APRA AMCOS** covers songwriters, composers and publishers. **PPCA** covers recording artists and labels. Since 1 July 2019 they license jointly through **OneMusic Australia**. | If you want to… | What APRA AMCOS says you need | | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Play recorded music in a shop, café, gym, office or venue | A **OneMusic Australia licence**, covering both the musical work and the sound recording. APRA AMCOS says it is the business's responsibility, not the performer's | | Put music in an ad or a film | Permission **and** a licence from the owners of *both* the work and the recording — or use production music. Campaign discounts of 20%, 25% and 30% apply for 4–6, 7–9 and 10+ ads licensed together | | Show commercial music in an online showreel | A **Showreels licence**. The standard rate is **A$275 (inc. GST) per song, per month** | | Alter lyrics or re-arrange an existing song | Separate permission from the publisher or songwriter. An APRA AMCOS licence does not cover it | | Register a song made with generative AI | APRA AMCOS's current advice: a work created **with the assistance of** AI may be registered as usual, listing yourself as composer or lyricist, shares totalling 100% | **Does a Suno plan cover any of that? Partly — and not the part people assume.** - **The OneMusic question is the one businesses get wrong.** A track you generated on a paid plan and downloaded within your allowance is not APRA AMCOS or PPCA repertoire. No OneMusic licence is needed for that track. But the moment your in-store playlist includes any commercial music at all, you need the licence anyway. "Switch to AI music and cancel OneMusic" only works if the switch is total. Before you act on it, ring OneMusic Australia and ask about your premises type. We have not found a published tariff saying a partial switch changes the fee. - **Suno gives you an assignment, not a warranty.** Paid subscribers get Suno's right, title and interest in the output assigned to them. Since 3 September those rights are perpetual and survive cancellation, downgrade or using up your allowance. But Suno expressly "makes no representation or warranty to you that any copyright will vest in any Output". It also warns the output may not be unique across users. You may hold a contractual right to use a track and still have nothing you can register, license or defend. - **Your commercial catalogue is capped.** Commercial use attaches to a permitted download. On Pro that is twenty tracks a month. An agency cutting radio tags for five clients hits that ceiling fast. - **Never build client work on a Remix.** A Remix is jointly owned with the Remixer and is non-commercial on every tier, downloaded or not. This is the easiest way for an Australian business to breach the terms without noticing. - **Rights holders may still collect on your track.** Suno's own terms say applicable rights holders may collect revenue when outputs are distributed on third-party platforms. Each platform's own rules govern whether you may use a track there. - **The indemnity runs the wrong way.** If someone claims your Suno track infringes, you defend and indemnify Suno. Massachusetts law, exclusive Massachusetts jurisdiction, individual JAMS arbitration, class-action and jury waivers. A staged mass-arbitration procedure was added on 3 September 2026\. There is no Australian Consumer Law carve-out anywhere in the terms. **The honest Australian answer:** v6 is trained on catalogue licensed from three multinationals. Nothing in the 2026 deals reaches an APRA AMCOS member, and APRA AMCOS's public position is that the conversation with Suno has not started. ## What it does well - **A finished song from a prompt, in about a minute.** Still the core promise, still delivered better than anything else in the consumer field. - **Plain-language editing that actually works.** On v6 you can ask for the chorus to be sung by a gospel choir. You can change one line of lyric without regenerating the song. - **Prompt from audio, images or video.** v6 accepts more than text, and will build a beat from an isolated sample in one request. - **Studio 2.0 is a real DAW.** MIDI, a wavetable synth, automation curves, plugins you design yourself, and 32-bit/48 kHz multitrack export. Premier only. - **Stem separation in three modes.** Auto Split to twelve stems and Split from Mix on Pro. Advanced Split, at roughly a hundred instruments, is Premier only. - **Rights that survive cancellation.** Download a track on Pro and it stays yours if you cancel, downgrade or run out of allowance. That is new since 3 September, and it is a genuine improvement. - **Licensed training and provenance tooling.** Warner, BMG and Believe partnerships, plus watermarking, fingerprinting and upload screening. ## What it doesn't do well - **Commercial use is now a quota.** Twenty downloads a month on Pro, sixty on Premier. The free tier has none at all beyond a small lifetime trial for older accounts, and those are explicitly non-commercial. - **Two meters to track.** Credits govern how much you can generate. Downloads govern what you can sell. Beginners will conflate them. - **The legal perimeter widened.** A Munich loss, a live 2024 case, a second label suit aimed at v6, and an artists' class action. That is four fronts, up from one. - **No copyright warranty, and outputs may not be unique.** Suno says both in its own terms. - **Every model we scored in June was switched off.** Suno retired its entire prior lineup within six months. Plan for the model you buy today not existing next year. - **Weak Australian fit.** Australian-dollar prices now, but no GST line, no Australian data residency, no local support, no AU compliance certification, Massachusetts law and US arbitration. ## Australian fit - **Available in Australia:** Yes. Global self-serve signup on web and mobile; v6 launched globally on 9 September 2026. - **Pricing in AUD:** Yes, on the web. Pro is A$15 a month or A$12 billed yearly (1 October 2026); tax is calculated at checkout. - **GST:** Unresolved. "Taxes calculated at checkout" is all Suno publishes, and we have not sighted an Australian tax invoice. Check yours. - **Data residency:** None for Australia. Suno's privacy notice says it is based in the United States and generally stores information on US servers. No enterprise tier and no regional hosting option exists. - **Local support:** None. Email and a community only. No AU office, no AU business hours, no phone line. - **Compliance:** No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or IRAP certification published as at 20 September 2026\. The privacy notice carries rights sections for US-state and EEA/UK residents — none for Australia. - **Commercial rights:** Free — none. Pro and Premier — yes, on downloaded tracks within your allowance, perpetual once downloaded, with no copyright warranty and indemnity on you. - **Licensing deals:** With a US major, a German major and a French distributor. None of them puts money in front of an APRA AMCOS member. ## Alternatives | App | Why you might prefer it | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Udio** | The other big text-to-song generator. Our Udio review dates from 3 June 2026 and its download position has not been re-verified since Suno's September changes — treat that comparison as due for a refresh. ([Read our Suno vs Udio comparison →](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/suno-vs-udio-australia-2026/)) | | **Moises** | Our Top Pick in this category at 19/25\. It works on music you already have — stems, practice, mastering — and it bills in native AUD. A different job, done with far better Australian fit. | | **Licensed stock music** | For genuinely clean commercial use today. A licensed library, or a human composer, gives you something you can register and defend. Boring, and still the right answer for client work. | Our June explainer, [Can Australian businesses safely use AI-generated music in 2026?](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/news-ai-music-copyright-australia-2026/), predates the Munich ruling and the September terms — read this review's legal section first. ## Bottom line Suno is the best consumer AI song generator on the market, and it got better this year. If you are making music for fun, a personal project or a demo, buy Pro and enjoy it. Sixty cents a track, billed yearly, is not a hard sell. It scores three stars at 15/25, two points higher than June. Feature depth is up: v6, Studio 2.0 and proper stem tooling are a step change. Reliability is up a point, because rights you download now survive cancellation. Australian fit is up a point, because Suno now prices in Australian dollars. Against that, value is down — the same price now buys twenty usable tracks rather than an open door. Beyond the currency, nothing Suno did in 2026 was aimed at Australia. For client-facing commercial work the answer is unchanged. Suno assigns you rights it will not warrant, caps how many tracks you can use, and is defending copyright claims on three continents. Use it for the demo. Licence the ad. *This review is general information for Australian readers, not legal advice. Copyright and licensing outcomes depend on your specific use. Seek advice if commercial or brand risk is involved.* ## Score | Criterion | Score | Notes | | --------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Value for Money | 3/5 | Pro A$15/mo (A$12 yearly) buys materially less than it did — commercial use capped at 20 downloadable tracks a month (≈75c per usable track), and the free tier lost downloads entirely | | Ease of Use | 4/5 | v6 adds plain-language part edits, single-lyric changes and prompting from audio, images or video; offset by having to track credits *and* a separate download allowance | | Feature Depth | 4/5 | Three v6 models, Studio 2.0 with MIDI, automation, user-built plugins and 32-bit/48 kHz export, three stem-separation modes, watermarking and fingerprinting | | Australian Fit | 2/5 | Up one: AUD prices on the pricing page (Pro A$15/mo, 1 Oct 2026). Every other sub-test fails — no GST line, no AU residency or Privacy Act section, no local support, no AU certification, Massachusetts law and US arbitration; the Warner, BMG and Believe deals are US, German and French and reach no APRA AMCOS member | | Reliability & Support | 2/5 | Up one: downloaded-track rights are now perpetual and survive cancellation, provenance tooling exists, and a US$5.4B Series D makes the company durable. Still email and community support only, every prior model was switched off mid-year, and the legal perimeter widened | | **Total** | **15/25** | ⭐⭐⭐ Good | **Australian Fit gate.** Australian Fit of 2/5 means Suno cannot wear five stars, whatever its raw total. It also **cannot be named our category Top Pick**. That pick stays with Moises (19/25). See our [Methodology](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/methodology/). Update history - **8 Oct 2026** — New edition. Score 14 → **15/25**. Was: Australian Fit 1/5, citing US-dollar-only billing. Now: **Australian Fit 2/5** — Suno shows Australian visitors Australian-dollar prices (Pro A$15 a month or A$12 billed yearly; Premier A$45 or A$35), labelled AUD in the page's own price data. GST treatment is still unstated, and data residency, local support and Australian-aware output still fail. The other four criteria hold. Band unchanged at ⭐⭐⭐ Good. The US-dollar column is dropped from the price table: Australians are shown the AUD list. Source: [suno.com/pricing](https://suno.com/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) (AUD read 1 Oct 2026 in an Australian browser; plans, credits and download allowances re-read 8 Oct 2026). The previous edition is kept unchanged and linked above. - **1 Oct 2026 🇦🇺 — POSITIVE: Suno prices in Australian dollars.** Read in a browser on an Australian connection, `suno.com/pricing` shows **Pro at $15 a month or $12 billed yearly, and Premier at $45 or $35**, with a bare `$`; the page's embedded price data labels those figures **AUD** (beside USD 10 / 8 and 30 / 24). This review said Suno billed in US dollars only and listed Pro at US$8 (its US annual rate) as the monthly price. The meta description, verdict, currency paragraph, table, per-track maths, fact line, Value for Money note and the AUD FAQ (body and schema) are corrected; **the Suno vs Udio comparison is synced**. `aud_native: true` (web).

This is a re-score, not a patch: Suno launched v6 on 9 September 2026 and retired every model the June review tested. **Value for Money 4 → 3/5:** the headline is still US$8, but commercial use is now capped at 20 downloadable tracks a month on Pro, and the free tier lost downloads entirely. The price held while what it buys shrank. **Ease of Use 4 → 4/5 (held):** v6 adds plain-language part edits and prompting from audio, images or video, offset by buyers now tracking credits *and* a separate download allowance. **Feature Depth 3 → 4/5:** three v6 models, Studio 2.0 with MIDI, automation, user-built plugins and 32-bit/48 kHz export, three stem-separation modes, plus watermarking and fingerprinting. **Australian Fit 1 → 1/5 (held):** every sub-test still fails, and the Warner, BMG and Believe deals are US, German and French — none reaches an APRA AMCOS member. **Reliability & Support 1 → 2/5:** rights in a downloaded track are now perpetual and survive cancellation, offset by every prior model being switched off mid-year and a wider legal perimeter. Band unchanged at ⭐⭐⭐ Good. This is a pre-publication correction, not a change to a published score — the site is not live. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Suno available in Australia? Yes. There is no geographic restriction, and v6 launched globally on 9 September 2026\. The catch is not access. It is unstated GST treatment, US data storage, capped commercial downloads and live copyright litigation. ### What does Suno cost in Australia? Suno shows Australian visitors AUD prices: Pro is A$15 a month or A$12 a month billed yearly, Premier A$45 or A$35 (checked 1 October 2026). It says only "Taxes calculated at checkout", so check your tax invoice for a GST line. ### Can I use Suno music commercially? Only on a paid plan, and only for tracks you actually download within your allowance — 20 a month on Pro, 60 on Premier. Those rights are perpetual and survive cancellation. Remixes are never commercial, on any tier. ### Was Suno's v6 trained on licensed music? Suno says v6 was developed with Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. That answers our June objection about training data going forward. It does not resolve the earlier models, which is what the live cases are about. ### Did Suno lose a copyright case? Yes. The Landgericht München I ruled for GEMA on 31 July 2026, holding Suno liable and finding US fair use did not cover the training. The judgment is not final. A second US label suit, aimed at v6, was filed on 18 September 2026. ### Do I still need a OneMusic licence if I use Suno? Not for a track you generated and downloaded on a paid plan — that is not APRA AMCOS or PPCA repertoire. You still need OneMusic the moment any commercial music plays on your premises. Confirm your premises type with OneMusic Australia before cancelling anything. ## Read next - Category guide: [Best AI Music Tools in Australia 2026](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/best-ai-music-tools-australia-2026/) - Head-to-head: [Suno vs Udio for Australians](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/suno-vs-udio-australia-2026/) ## Sources 1.
