Pricing

Plans as listed on each vendor's site when we last checked. Confirm before you buy.

Attribute	Google Flow Music	OpusClip
Plans	Free $0 Trying it and making the odd song.	Free Free Trying it on a few videos.
	StarterOur pick $6/mo Creators who need music every week.	Starter $15/mo Solo creators posting a few shorts a week.
	Plus $18/mo Heavy users and music videos.	ProOur pick $29/mo Anyone posting daily or running a team.
	Member $48/mo Musicians who live in it.	Business Custom Agencies and media companies at volume.
Which plan to pick	Start on Free, since the daily credits go a long way for background music. Starter is cheap enough to take once you're making music every week. Yearly billing saves about 25%.	Free is enough to see if the clips are any good. Starter removes the watermark, but Pro is the plan most people end up on: it adds the scheduler, all 9 posting platforms, extra brand templates, 16:9 and 1:1 reframing and export to Premiere. Business only makes sense for agencies or media teams.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Google Flow Music	OpusClip
Pros	Full songs with natural vocals from a short chat Generous free tier and a low $6 entry plan Edit parts of a song without starting over Music videos and stem splitting in the same app	The fastest way to turn one long video into lots of shorts AI Producer does a full edit of raw footage from a short brief Captions and reframing are accurate and easy to fix Scheduler, API and MCP mean you can automate posting
Cons	Commercial use terms are less clear than Suno's paid plans Adults only, and the mobile app is iPhone only for now Like every AI music tool, songs can sound generic without good prompts No public API to automate it	Built for talking content, so it's weak on cinematic or screen-recorded videos Credits run out quickly on long videos and repeated edits The scheduler, team seats and Premiere export need Pro AI Producer is still in beta, with a 5-minute limit per video
