| Model | Per song | Capability |
|---|---|---|
| minimax-music-v3.0 | $0.154 | Latest generation, vocal or instrumental, lyrics + style prompt |
| minimax-music-v2.6 | $0.154 | Lyrics-to-song with configurable style |
| Option | Access | Effective cost |
|---|---|---|
| Suno (official) | Subscription: free 50 credits/day, Pro ~$10/mo, Premier ~$30/mo | Bundle-priced; public API access limited |
| “Suno API” resellers | Third-party proxy, ToS gray zone | ~$0.014–$0.111 / song, reliability risk |
| NovAI — MiniMax Music | Official-direct, pay-as-you-go, commercial use | $0.154 / song, no subscription |
Suno’s subscription can work out cheaper per song if you max out a plan, and resellers can look cheaper still — but reseller proxies break, change price, and can put your commercial usage at risk. MiniMax Music on NovAI is a different frontier model with transparent per-song billing, an official upstream, and the same key you already use for chat, TTS, image, video and 3D.
