Is Suno 4.5 Free? Current Access, Credits, and API Budget

Suno’s current official materials no longer list v4.5 as a model for new generations. See what the free plan includes and what remains unclear about legacy API access and pricing.

Is Suno 4.5 free?

No—not for new generations through Suno’s currently documented model lineup. Suno says it is retiring its previous models as v6 rolls out; its current model documentation describes the v6 family, and its v4.5 help-center section is archived. The official materials reviewed do not document a plan or account exception that restores v4.5 generation. [1][2][3]

That is different from saying Suno has no free plan. Suno’s help center says the Free plan receives up to 50 credits daily, replenished once a day using UTC. Its current model documentation identifies v6-mini as available to all users, while v6 and v6-wild are for Pro and Premier subscribers. Those free credits do not establish access to retired v4.5. [3][4]

Budget takeaway: If you specifically need v4.5, don’t pay for a Suno plan on the assumption that it will unlock the model. The current official materials reviewed do not show v4.5 as available for new generation. If a current Suno model will work instead, check the Free plan first; paid plans start at $10 per month, but that is a general starting price, not a price for v4.5 access. [3][5]

Production API: legacy access and budget

Suno’s official MCP Beta is a separate integration route: Suno says it works with Free plans and uses credits from the user’s plan. That does not establish a production REST API for v4.5. [6]

A third-party API documentation site documents a generation endpoint and lists V4_5 and V4_5ALL as separate legacy model identifiers. Its generation documentation marks both as deprecated, says deprecated values remain for backward compatibility, and recommends a V6-series model for new integrations. This documents a legacy compatibility path; it does not establish that a new customer can use V4_5, guarantee continued access, or make V4_5ALL interchangeable with V4_5. [7]

I could not verify a public price, billing unit, or new-customer access condition for that provider’s exact V4_5 identifier. There is therefore no supported per-generation or monthly API budget to quote for v4.5 from the material reviewed. TokenForgeCloud’s supplied public description lists other model families, not Suno; it does not establish a TokenForgeCloud v4.5 offering. [8]

Which route should you choose?

  • Casual creation: Try Suno’s Free plan if its current model lineup meets your needs. The daily credits are a general allowance, not v4.5 access.
  • You specifically need v4.5 on Suno: Current official materials treat v4.5 as legacy, and do not document a plan that enables new v4.5 generations.
  • You need production integration: Treat third-party V4_5 backward compatibility as a provider-specific legacy route, not a guaranteed new integration. Confirm account eligibility, availability, and billing with that provider before building against it.

Bottom line: Suno offers free daily credits, but its current official materials do not offer v4.5 for new generations. A third-party API document retains a deprecated V4_5 identifier for backward compatibility, but its new-customer availability and price are not established here.
