After downloading the app for free, it aggressively promotes a yearly subscription of US$139. The trial requires binding a card and automatically deducts the fee upon expiration. To use only the free version, remember to skip the trial and turn off auto-renewal.

What Sets Us Apart
Compared to the free version, the paid version offers 1000+ natural human voices instead of 10 mechanical voices, speech speed increased from 1.5x to 5x, and the file limit increased from 5 to unlimited. Paying annually at US$139 is approximately 60% cheaper than paying monthly at US$29, so it's best to choose annual payment if you plan to use it for an extended period.

AI writes songs, inputting lyrics style directly generates a complete song
Free50 credits reset every day on the US$0/month free plan, which the pricing page calls Free Plan (the help centre still calls it Basic). The quota is daily, not monthly. A footnote at the bottom of the official page specifically states that credits included with a subscription do not roll over daily or monthly, so any of the 50 credits left unused that day are gone the next. Only the v4.5-all model is available (the official site calls it the best free model); v4, v4.5, v4.5+, v5 and v5.5 are paid-only. 4 songs generate in parallel in a shared queue (paid gets 10 songs with priority queueing). Audio uploads are capped at 8 minutes (30 minutes on paid). On features the free plan is explicitly listed as standard features only, no stem separation and no credit top-ups, so once the 50 daily credits are gone you either wait for tomorrow or upgrade. Most important is licensing: the official site says No commercial use, and the help centre goes further, stating that songs made on the free plan are owned by Suno and users are only permitted to use them non-commercially.

AI audio generation/clone leader, for podcast and dubbing purposes
Free1,000 credits per month (not simply character count, shared among various features such as TTS/voice cloning, equivalent to approximately 10,000 characters for TTS, with licensing restrictions)
Available in Taiwan with Traditional Chinese interface on the official website. Note the two product lines: ① Speechify Premium, a consumer-oriented reading app that reads files aloud; ② Speechify Studio/API (Starter/Creator), a creator tool for video dubbing, voice cloning, and AI voice-over translation, with a free Studio plan that includes 600 credits but no commercial use rights. Additionally, there is an Audiobooks subscription (US$14.99/month, approximately US$9.99/month with annual payment). Chinese is one of the 60+ languages supported by Premium, but the most natural human-like voice is in English, with fewer voice options for Chinese.
Speechify's free tier is not a trial — you can use it indefinitely. But the caps are specific: 10 basic voices, a 1.5x speed ceiling and only 5 stored files. Here is the real ceiling, the two product lines people confuse, and where non-English reading stands. Last verified: 2026-09-03
