Suno Sets Concrete Download Limits by Tier, Updates Terms of Service Effective September 3
Suno published the concrete details of the downloads policy it had previewed as “upcoming” in its August 6 responsible-music framework post, setting specific per-tier download limits and a revised Terms of Service, both taking effect September 3, 2026.
Details
- Download limits by tier: Free plan users get 7 lifetime trial downloads (non-renewable); Pro subscribers get 20 downloads per month; Premier members get 60 downloads per month, with unlimited downloads for Suno Studio users; additional downloads beyond tier limits can be purchased separately
- Commercial rights: Suno states “Songs downloaded from Suno on paid plans remain yours to use commercially or personally,” while free-tier trial downloads are for personal use only and do not carry commercial rights
- Content retention unaffected: All previously created songs remain playable and shareable within a user’s Suno library regardless of the new download caps or subscription tier
- Terms of Service changes: The updated ToS also revises dispute-resolution language, including modifications to the arbitration agreement and mass-arbitration provisions
- Stated rationale: Suno says limiting downloads “will make it harder for bad actors to mass-export music,” aiming to curb mass distribution to streaming platforms while preserving normal use for legitimate creators
- Context: This is the concrete follow-through on the downloads policy Suno flagged as forthcoming in its August 6 “Building the Future of Music Responsibly” post, and lands two days before Suno’s August 12 announcement of a global licensing partnership with BMG
