No, you cannot monetize remixes of other people's Suno songs. Suno's policy is explicit: remixes are restricted to personal, non-commercial use regardless of your subscription tier. Only the original creator can monetize their work, and only if they created it while subscribed to a paid plan. This applies to all remix types within Suno, including covers, extends, reuses, and speed variations.

What Is Suno's Official Remix Policy?

According to Suno's Remix FAQ, the rules are clear:

If you remix someone else's song: Your version is not eligible for commercial use.

If someone remixes your song: Their version is not eligible for commercial use.

Only the original work created by a paid subscriber is eligible for monetization.

Enabling the remix feature on your track does not grant others commercial rights. As Suno states: allowing remixes "does not mean [creators] give up the rights, or allow you to monetize your version of their track."

Why Remixes Can't Be Monetized

Suno's restriction stems from how remixes create derivative works:

Joint ownership complications. When you remix someone's track, the resulting work contains creative elements from both creators. Commercial distribution would require agreement from all rights holders.

Unclear consent. The original creator enabled remixing for community engagement, not to authorize commercial derivatives. Monetizing their work without explicit permission creates legal and ethical issues.

Copyright uncertainty. AI-generated music already faces copyright questions. Adding remix layers compounds the ownership ambiguity, making commercial licensing impractical.

Warning Attempting to monetize a Suno remix through streaming distribution could violate both Suno's terms of service and the original creator's rights. Distributors may reject or remove such content.

What Counts as a "Remix" on Suno

Suno's remix feature includes four workflows, all subject to the same non-commercial restriction:

Remix Type	What It Does	Commercial Status
Cover	Recreate a song with different vocals/style	Non-commercial only
Extend	Add additional sections to an existing track	Non-commercial only
Reuse	Use elements from another track in new creation	Non-commercial only
Speed	Adjust tempo/pitch of existing track	Non-commercial only

Any track derived from another creator's work through these features cannot be monetized.

What Is the One Exception: Remixing Your Own Songs?

You can monetize a remix if you created both the original and the remix while subscribed to a paid plan.

Example scenario:

You create an original song with Suno Pro (eligible for commercial use)
You use Suno's "Extend" feature to add a verse (still your work)
The extended version is also eligible for commercial use

The key requirement: you must be the original creator of the source material, and both the original and remix must be created during an active paid subscription.

What About Covers of Other Creators' Songs?

Suno's "Cover" feature presents additional complexity beyond the remix policy:

Lyrics ownership issue. If Creator A wrote original lyrics and Creator B makes a cover, Creator B may not know whether those lyrics were AI-generated or human-written. Suno advises that the cover creator "shouldn't attempt to monetize something they don't own."

Melody and structure. Even if you change the vocals, the underlying melody and song structure belong to the original creator.

Safe approach: Only make covers of your own original songs, or explicitly collaborate with the original creator who can grant permission.

What Are the Alternatives to Monetizing Remixes?

If you want to create commercially viable AI music on Suno, focus on original content:

Create Original Tracks

Start from a text prompt rather than remixing existing content. Original songs made with a paid subscription grant full commercial rights.

Use Your Own Audio Uploads

If you upload your own original lyrics, melody, and structure to Suno, then modify it, you retain commercial rights to the result. This creates a verifiable chain of ownership.

Collaborate Explicitly

If you want to build on another creator's work commercially:

Contact them directly outside Suno
Negotiate commercial terms
Create the derivative work with documented permission
Both parties agree on revenue splits

Note: This workaround requires off-platform agreement and may still face platform policy restrictions.

What Commercial Rights Do Suno Subscription Tiers Give You?

Even for original content, commercial rights depend on your subscription:

Plan	Commercial Use	Streaming Distribution
Free	No	Not allowed
Pro	Yes	Allowed
Premier	Yes	Allowed

Note Tracks created on the free plan remain non-commercial forever, even if you later subscribe. Commercial rights only apply to tracks created during an active paid subscription.

What Are the 2026 Policy Considerations?

Following Suno's settlement with Warner Music Group, policies are evolving. Key changes to watch:

Licensed model transition. Suno is moving toward AI models trained on licensed music, which may affect remix features and permissions.

Ownership clarity. Suno has indicated they bear "ultimate responsibility" for outputs, though users "help guide" creation. This language may influence future commercial rights frameworks.

Subscriber priority. Future policies will likely continue emphasizing paid subscriber privileges over free users.

Current policies remain in effect, but check Suno's Knowledge Base for updates before distributing any content.

What Happens If You Try to Monetize a Remix

If you attempt to distribute a Suno remix commercially:

Platform rejection. Distributors like DistroKid require you to confirm ownership and commercial rights. Uploading a remix without rights violates their terms.

Content removal. If discovered, your track may be removed from streaming platforms.

Account consequences. Repeated violations can result in distributor account suspension.

Original creator disputes. The original creator could flag your content, triggering takedown processes.

What Is the Bottom Line?

Suno remixes cannot be monetized, period. The restriction protects original creators who share their work for community engagement, not commercial exploitation. If you want to monetize AI-generated music on Suno, create original tracks with a paid subscription. For any derivative work, you need explicit permission from all rights holders and should document that agreement outside of Suno's platform. As policies change, these rules may shift, but the principle of respecting original creators' rights will likely remain.
