AI lyrics by section and uncapped MP3 downloads
Describe a song and Lyra Studio writes full lyrics by section, which you can edit line by line or replace with your own; each produce gives 2 versions in about 1–3 minutes. Every song you make can be downloaded as MP3, with no monthly download cap. Plans start at $9.99/month (≈140 songs), and the interface is in English and Russian.
model choice, Suno Studio and longer songs
Suno’s free plan gives 50 credits per day, Pro costs $10/month for 2,500 credits and 20 song downloads, and Premier costs $30/month for 10,000 credits, 60 downloads and Suno Studio (MIDI, effects). Generations can run up to 8 minutes. Since 3 September 2026 the free plan allows only up to 7 lifetime trial downloads for personal, non-commercial use.
high song counts and stems on Premier
Mureka Pro costs $10/month for 500 songs a month with MP3 downloads and commercial rights. Premier at $30/month includes 2,000 songs, MP3 + WAV, stem separation up to 12 stems, MIDI and Mureka Studio. The free plan gives 4 songs daily but no downloads.
people who already use ElevenLabs
Music shares credits with all other ElevenLabs products, such as voice and dubbing. Starter at $6/month includes 30k credits and 30 minutes of music downloads, with commercial use allowed except film, TV, radio and games, and no distribution to streaming services; Creator at $22/month allows streaming distribution. ElevenLabs lists Russia and Belarus as restricted.
making and sharing songs on udio.com only
Since 29 October 2025, after its Universal Music Group partnership, Udio has disabled downloading audio, video and stems; songs can be shared only via udio.com links. Paid plans start at $10/month for up to 2,400 credits. A new licensed platform has been announced, but we found no confirmation it has launched.
Lyra Studio publishes this comparison, so we used only facts from each product’s own pricing and help pages, checked on 5 October 2026. We did not test or rate audio quality, speed or popularity.
Prices are monthly in USD. Where a vendor states credits rather than songs, any song count we give is our estimate and is marked ≈.
Udio disabled downloads on 29 October 2025 as part of its Universal Music Group partnership. Since 3 September 2026, Suno’s free plan allows up to 7 lifetime trial downloads, and its paid plans have monthly download limits.
Suno released its v6 models in September 2026 and says they were made in partnership with artists and producers including WMG and BMG.
If you want to download every song and get help writing lyrics, Lyra Studio fits. If you need MIDI or mobile apps, Suno and Mureka offer both, and Mureka Premier adds up to 12 stems. If you already pay for ElevenLabs, its music uses the same credit balance.
As of October 2026, Lyra Studio lets new accounts download songs made with its 15 free credits (one song in 2 versions). Suno’s free plan allows up to 7 lifetime trial downloads for personal, non-commercial use. Mureka and ElevenLabs do not allow downloads on free plans, and Udio has disabled downloads entirely.
As of October 2026, ElevenLabs Starter is $6/month for 30k credits and 30 minutes of music downloads, but those credits are shared with other ElevenLabs products. Lyra Studio Standard is $9.99/month (≈140 songs), and Suno Pro, Mureka Pro and Udio Standard are $10/month.
It depends on the plan. Suno and Mureka give commercial rights on paid plans, not on free ones, and ElevenLabs Starter allows commercial use except film, TV, radio and games. Lyra Studio lets you use your songs for personal and commercial purposes to the extent the law and AI providers’ terms allow; AI music may not be copyrightable everywhere.
As of October 2026, Mureka has web, iOS and Android; Suno has web plus iOS and Android apps in limited release; Udio has web and iOS but no official Android app. Lyra Studio is a web app that works in a phone or computer browser, with no iOS or Android app.
