Where they differ

On Leap, not on Suno

  • Every track you make downloads, with no monthly count.
  • What you make is yours from the first run, the free $2 included, and stays yours with no plan to keep up.
  • Several music makers on one balance: Eleven Music, Lyria, MiniMax and Stable Audio, so you can try one idea on two.
  • Voice and video models in the same studio, for the voice-over and the clip your track goes with.

On Suno, not on Leap

  • Suno's own v6 models. Leap doesn't run them.
  • Songs up to 8 minutes in one go, with Extend, Cover and Replace Section to rework a song.
  • Stems, Suno Studio with MIDI on Premier, and custom models trained on your own songs.
  • Songs in your own voice, recorded or uploaded, on Pro and Premier.
  • About 10 free songs a day on the free plan.

Questions

Questions people ask

Can I use Suno's models on Leap?
No. Leap runs Eleven Music, Lyria, MiniMax Music, Stable Audio, ACE-Step and others, each named on its page with its price per track.
Can it sing my own lyrics?
Yes, with MiniMax Music 3 and ACE-Step: paste your lyrics into the model's form, with [Verse] and [Chorus] marking the parts, and describe the style in the prompt. Eleven Music v2.5 writes its own words from your prompt.
Can I use the songs commercially?
Leap's Terms say that, as between you and Leap, you own the results the studio makes for you, to the extent the law allows, and they set no personal-use-only limit. In some countries AI-made music may not be protected by copyright. Write your own lyrics and describe a style rather than naming an artist: the Acceptable Use Policy forbids prompting with lyrics you have no right to use and impersonating anyone.
Does credit expire on Leap?
Credit you pay for doesn't expire while Leap is offered. On Suno, plan credits don't carry over from month to month, and credits bought on top need an active plan to use.
Is Leap free to try?
Yes. A new account starts with $2 of credit and needs no card; the table on this page shows how many tracks that makes with each model. After that you add credit from $5 and pay per track.
