Why people look for a Suno alternative
Suno is the music tool new Tangra users name most often when we ask what they used before. These are the gaps that usually send people looking.
Download limits
Since September 3, 2026, Suno counts downloads: 20 a month on Pro and 60 on Premier outside Suno Studio. Commercial use covers the songs you download within that limit.
Free songs are not yours
Songs made on Suno’s free plan belong to Suno and cannot be used commercially, and upgrading later does not change that for songs you already made.
A subscription for a few songs
If you need a song for a birthday, a video or a client once in a while, a monthly plan is more than you need. Many people would rather pay for the songs they make.
The song is only part of the project
A song usually needs artwork, a music video or a voiceover too, which means more tools, more accounts and more bills.
What Tangra AI does differently
Every song is yours to download
No monthly download count. Each song you make downloads as an MP3 you can use in videos, podcasts, ads and client work.
Pay per song, not per month
A song costs 10 to 15 credits, shown before you press Create. Buy 100 credits for $10, 500 credits for $30 or 1,000 credits for $50 and use them whenever you like; credits you buy never expire while your account is active.
Lyrics your way
Write verse, chorus and bridge in a structured editor, paste a whole song up to 3,000 characters, or let AI draft lyrics you then edit.
Pick the singer
Song 3.0 lets you choose from named male and female AI vocalists and hear a demo first. The other Song models pick a voice for you.
Around 100 genres
Shape the sound with genre, instrument, mood, vocal and timbre tags, from pop, rock and hip-hop to jazz, k-pop, latin and orchestral.
From song to music video
Turn a finished song into an AI music video in a guided five-step wizard, then make cover art and voiceovers from the same credit balance.
