AI music commercial use by Songluna AI plan
Paid plans
Plus & Pro: commercial use rights for eligible generated music
These rights apply within the current Terms and do not clear material supplied by someone else.
Rights depend on your plan and workflow.
Rights in uploaded or user-provided material remain your responsibility.
This page is a practical summary, not legal advice.
Four things decide the answer
Follow the rights chain
A paid plan is necessary for Songluna AI commercial-use rights, but it is not the only check.
01
Which plan created it?
Free, Plus, or Pro determines the Songluna AI rights attached to an eligible generated output.
02
Did you own or license every input?
Prompts, lyrics, uploads, samples, names, and references can introduce rights outside Songluna AI.
03
How was the music made?
Rights depend on the feature used and whether the result is eligible generated music under the current Terms.
04
Where will you publish?
Publishing platforms and client agreements can add requirements for ads, videos, podcasts, games, stores, and other destinations.
Two inputs. Two different answers.

A melody carries us home.
Original brief, original inputs
You create an original prompt and lyrics, generate eligible music while Plus or Pro is active, and publish within the current Terms.
Third-party song, sample, or voice
Songluna AI does not grant rights to third-party material. You still need the necessary permission for anything you upload, quote, sample, imitate, or reference.
Where do you plan to publish?
Commercial use can include many destinations. Each can add its own platform, client, distributor, or store requirements.
Client work & ads
Brand films, paid campaigns, product demos, agency deliveries, and in-store creative.
Video & podcasts
Monetized videos, YouTube channels, Shorts, podcasts, intros, outros, and social clips.
Games & digital products
In-game music, apps, interactive experiences, software, and downloadable content.
Platform and client rules may still apply.
Is AI music copyrighted in the US?
Permission to use a track and copyright in it are different questions. A paid plan gives you commercial use rights; copyright protection depends on human authorship.
- The U.S. Copyright Office concluded in January 2025 that AI output is protected only where a human author determined sufficient expressive elements. Prompts alone are not enough.
- Lyrics you wrote, and your own creative arrangement or edits of the output, can be protected even when the music is AI-generated.
- Courts agree: the D.C. Circuit held in Thaler v. Perlmutter (March 2025) that a machine cannot be an author, and the Supreme Court declined review on March 2, 2026.
Check the platform’s AI rules
Where you publish can add its own requirements on top of your plan.
- YouTube requires creators to disclose realistic AI-generated content, including AI music that is the main focus of a video, using the “AI use” setting at upload.
- Streaming distributors and stores publish their own AI and content policies; read them before you upload a release.
- Client contracts may require you to disclose AI use or to deliver music with specific rights.
Keep a simple release record
- Save the prompt, lyrics, and creation notes.
- Record the plan that was active when the music was generated.
- Keep proof of rights for uploaded material.
- Save the final export date and files.
- Review the destination’s current music and content rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use AI music commercially?
Yes, when the service grants commercial rights and you have the rights to every input. On Songluna AI, Plus and Pro include commercial use rights for eligible generated music; Free-plan music is for personal use. Platform and client rules still apply.
Can I use Suno AI music commercially?
Songs you create with Suno models inside Songluna AI follow your Songluna AI plan: commercial use rights for eligible music on Plus and Pro, personal use on Free. Songs made in Suno’s own app are governed by Suno’s terms.
Is AI-generated music copyrightable in the US?
Only the human-authored parts. The U.S. Copyright Office concluded in January 2025 that AI output is protected only where a human determined sufficient expressive elements, such as lyrics you wrote or your own arrangement and edits. Prompts alone are not enough.
Do I need to disclose that my music is AI-generated?
It depends on the platform. YouTube, for example, requires creators to disclose realistic AI-generated content, including AI music that is the main focus of a video. Check each destination’s current rules before you publish.
Does Songluna AI music include commercial-use rights?
Free-plan outputs are for personal use. Plus and Pro include commercial use rights for eligible generated music created while the paid plan is active. Review the current Terms and your plan before publishing.
Can I use a Free-plan track in a client project, ad, or monetized video?
No. Songluna AI describes Free-plan outputs as personal use only. Review Plus or Pro before creating music for commercial publishing.
Is AI music royalty free?
"Royalty free" usually means you pay once instead of per use; it does not mean a track is free of copyright or free to use any way you like. On Songluna AI, your AI music license comes from the plan a song was made on: commercial use rights for eligible music on Plus and Pro, personal use on Free. The current Terms set the exact conditions.
Do credit packs add commercial-use rights?
Credit packs do not create a separate license. Pack credits follow your current subscription license.
What if I upload samples, lyrics, audio, or reference material?
Rights in uploaded or user-provided material remain your responsibility. Only use material you own, created, or have permission to use.
Do I need to credit Songluna AI?
The current Terms and plan details control attribution and use requirements. Check them before release because policies and publishing destinations can change.
Is this page legal advice?
No. This page is a practical summary, not legal advice. The Terms of Service and your plan details are the controlling sources for Songluna AI usage rights.
