FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No, Suno does not currently offer an official public API for music generation. This is why tools like SongSmith AI exist as Suno API alternatives, providing automation capabilities through browser integration instead of traditional API access. Some third-party services offer unofficial Suno APIs, but they charge per song and have various limitations.

SongSmith works as a Chrome extension that integrates directly with Suno's web interface. Instead of using API calls, it automates the browser to fill forms, click buttons, and manage song generation. This gives you Suno automation capabilities without needing official API access or paying third-party API fees.

Third-party Suno APIs: Charge $0.05-0.15+ per song, have strict rate limits, require server-side setup, and typically only provide audio output.

SongSmith AI: Free to use, runs in your browser, uses your existing Suno subscription, includes album planning, concept generation, and audio stitching features that APIs don't offer. See our API Cost Comparison for detailed breakdown.

Suno Automation refers to tools that streamline and automate the process of generating music with Suno AI. SongSmith automates form filling, batch song generation, and album planning so you can create more music in less time without manual repetitive work.

With SongSmith's Suno batch generation feature, you can queue as many songs as you want. The only limit is your Suno account's credits. Many users generate 10-20+ song albums in a single batch session. The extension handles everything automatically once you start the queue.

Absolutely! The Task Manager feature lets you plan a full album with a theme and genre. AI generates cohesive song concepts including titles, lyrics, music styles, and art prompts for each track. Queue them all and SongSmith handles the Suno mass generation automatically, one song at a time.

Yes! SongSmith works with all Suno subscription tiers - Free, Pro, and Premier. The extension simply automates the web interface, so whatever credits and features your Suno account has, you can use them with Suno automation.

Yes! SongSmith is a free Chrome extension. You'll need your own OpenRouter API key for AI-powered concept generation (which has free tier options with ~$1 free credit), and a Suno account for music generation. Unlike third-party Suno APIs, there's no per-song cost from us.

You need:
1) Google Chrome browser
2) A Suno account with credits
3) An OpenRouter API key (free tier available)
4) The SongSmith AI Chrome extension

Setup takes about 5 minutes. See our How to Use guide for step-by-step instructions.

OpenRouter is an AI API gateway that provides access to various language models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc.). SongSmith uses it for AI-powered concept generation - creating lyrics, music styles, and art prompts. They offer a free tier with enough credits for many songs. This is separate from Suno and handles only the creative concept generation, not the music itself.

Yes! SongSmith runs entirely in your browser. Your Suno credentials are never sent to our servers - the extension interacts directly with Suno's website in your browser. Your API keys are stored locally in Chrome's secure storage. We don't collect or store your generated content.

SongSmith is designed to work respectfully with Suno's platform. It adds configurable delays between generations, doesn't bypass any security measures, and uses your account normally - just faster than typing manually. Use reasonable generation speeds and respect Suno's terms of service.

Currently, SongSmith is only available as a Chrome extension. It works on Chrome-based browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Opera. Firefox and Safari are not supported at this time.
