Quick Answer
If you just want to mess around and make a few songs a month, Suno's free tier and Udio's free tier are both genuinely usable at $0. If you're making music regularly, Soundraw's flat $19.99/mo plan is the cheapest way to get unlimited downloadable tracks without credit math. AIVA is the priciest of the four but the only one built around royalty-free licensing for commercial use from the ground up.
