Can you upload Suno songs to Spotify? Suno commercial rights

What Suno's AI policy says
Whether a Suno song can go on Spotify depends on two sets of rules: Suno's terms (who owns the song) and your distributor's AI rules (whether it will deliver it).
- Distributors set their own rules for Suno songs: some block them, some accept only Suno's new licensed model.

Commercial rights for Suno songs
Pro and Premier: yes, for songs made while subscribed (and, under the August 2026 terms, downloaded while subscribed); rights survive cancelling. Free plan: non-commercial only, owned by Suno; upgrading later does not convert old songs.
- If you were on Pro or Premier when you made a song, Suno treats you as its owner and you can use it commercially.
- You keep commercial rights to songs made while subscribed, even after you cancel.
- Songs made on the free plan can only be used for non-commercial purposes, and Suno keeps ownership of them.
- Subscribing later does not give retroactive commercial rights to free-plan songs. Suno says it may offer them in some cases, with no guarantee.
- Paid-plan songs can be distributed to Spotify and Apple Music through any distributor, if you hold 100% of the rights (for example, your own lyrics).
- Since 3 September 2026 downloads are capped: 20 a month on Pro, 60 a month on Premier. Free trial downloads are not eligible for commercial use.
- Suno's August 2026 terms link commercial rights to songs you download as a paying subscriber.

Suno songs and the rest of your release
Suno's terms decide whether you can use a song commercially. They do not decide whether a distributor or store will accept it. Each distributor sets its own AI rules: some accept AI songs with credits, some only from licensed models, and some accept no AI content at all.
Rules change fast. Our verdict for Suno: Allowed with limits, checked 15 October 2026. Before a release that depends on it, read the linked source yourself. Not legal advice.
