Strengths and weaknesses
Suno
- Complete songs with vocals in seconds
- Free plan uses a full-length model
- Strong mobile apps on iPhone and Android
- Free songs can't be downloaded
- Paid downloads are capped each month
- Trains on your songs with no opt-out
Suno is still the easiest way to get a finished song, vocals and all, from a sentence. Its v6 models arrived in September 2026, built with licensed music from Warner, BMG and Believe, and make tracks up to eight minutes, while Studio 2.0 adds MIDI editing. The free plan's 50 daily credits run v6-mini, but free songs can't be downloaded, and Suno trains on what users create.

Hailuo AI
- H3 adds sound and 2K detail in one pass
- Takes text, image, video and audio references
- Yearly billing cuts Standard to $8.40 a month
- No monthly free credits, only trial credits
- No official iPhone app in the US
- Privacy policy doesn't say whether it trains on uploads
Hailuo is MiniMax's video app, and its July 2026 H3 model is the reason to look: clips up to 15 seconds in 2K, with stereo sound generated alongside the picture and editing driven by reference images, video or audio. The free plan is really just trial credits, and removing the watermark costs money, so plan on paying if you like it. There's an Android app but no US iPhone app.
