What Suno says today
- Plans. Suno's pricing page lists a no-cost plan with 50 credits a day and no monthly song downloads, Pro at USD 8 a month with 20 downloads, and Premier at USD 24 a month with 60 downloads.
- Rights. Suno says that if you were on Pro or Premier when you made a song, you own it and keep commercial use rights even after you cancel. On the no-cost Basic plan, Suno keeps ownership and you may use songs for non-commercial purposes.
- Your lyrics. Custom mode has a field for your own lyrics, and Suno says you keep the rights to original lyrics you enter.
- Age. Its terms (revised August 10, 2026) say users must be 18, or at least 13 with a parent's prior consent.
- Visibility and moderation. Songs start out private or link-only until you publish them. Suno moderates prompts, and generation may fail for well-known names or copyrighted terms.
What Udio says today
Udio's pricing page lists a no-cost tier, Standard at USD 10 a month (USD 8 billed yearly) and Pro at USD 30 a month (USD 24 billed yearly). Its help center says downloading of audio, video and stems has been disabled since its partnership with Universal Music Group on October 29, 2025. Its terms, last revised November 12, 2025, say you must be 16 or older and may use output for personal, non-commercial purposes only. For a song you want to keep as a file, play in a classroom or post, that rules Udio out for now.
What a parent should check in any AI music app
- Lyrics. Write them yourself or read every line the app suggests. Look for odd words, adult jokes, or anything that could frighten a small child.
- Voice. Describe the voice you want, for example "warm female vocal, soft". Do not ask for a famous singer's voice or a cartoon character; it is not allowed, and it would not be yours to post.
- Age fit. Babies and toddlers do well with slow tempos, simple words and lots of repetition. Ask for "slow lullaby" or "playful, simple, bouncy" rather than a club beat.
- Privacy. Use the first name only and keep the song private or link-only unless you mean to publish it.
- Rights for YouTube. Make songs you plan to post while you are on a paid plan, keep a note of the date, and label realistic AI music when you upload.
A simple Suno workflow for a kids song
- Write two short verses and a chorus with the child's name in the chorus. Our guide on writing a song for kids covers syllables.
- Open Create, switch to Custom, and paste the lyrics.
- Describe the style in plain words: "gentle acoustic lullaby, slow, warm female vocal".
- Generate, then listen for the name. If it is stressed wrongly, respell it and try again.
- Keep the song link-only, and download it if your plan allows.
- If you post it, set the audience to made for kids and answer the AI question honestly. See uploading a kids song to YouTube.
When a kids-specific tool is simpler
A general app is the better fit if you want many songs, full control over style and length, or instrumentals for videos. A tool built for children's songs saves the prompt work: it asks for the name, age and occasion, writes child-appropriate lyrics you can edit, and keeps to a few calm styles. Still Morning works that way, with a how-to-say-it box, warm adult voices only, up to 3 sung versions, MP3 download, and rights for home, classroom and your own channels, including monetized ones. See the AI song maker for kids.

Questions parents ask
Can I use Suno songs on my kids YouTube channel?
Suno says songs made while you were on Pro or Premier come with commercial use rights, even after you cancel. Songs made on the no-cost Basic plan are for non-commercial use. YouTube also asks you to set children's videos as made for kids and to disclose realistic AI music.
Can my child use Suno?
Suno's terms say users must be 18, or at least 13 with a parent's prior consent. Udio's terms say 16 or older. For younger children, make the song together with the parent holding the account.
Can I download songs from Udio?
Not as of October 17, 2026. Udio's help center says downloading of audio, video and stems has been disabled since its Universal Music Group partnership.
Will Suno say my child's name correctly?
Often, but not always. Common names usually work; unusual ones may need a phonetic spelling such as "Ay-oh-feh" for Aoife. Generate a few takes and keep the clearest.
Are Suno songs public?
Suno's help center says songs are private or link-only by default and become public when you publish them. Keep songs with your child's name link-only unless you choose to share them.
Can I make a song in the voice of a famous children's singer?
No. Suno may block prompts with well-known names, and its terms forbid impersonation. Describe the feel you want instead: "warm, friendly, slow".
