Operator guidance
The standard-tier current Stable Audio option at $0.20/generation. Choose over deprecated 2.0 for the same price with improved coherence and audio conditioning. Choose 3.0 instead if you need more than 3 minutes per generation ($0.26, up to 6 minutes). For vocals and lyrics, Suno v4 is the better choice. For open-weights self-hosting, MusicGen Large eliminates cost at scale.
