Netflix

  • 4K Ultra HD, HDR and spatial audio are restricted to the Premium plan, which allows 4 streams and 6 download devices

Suno

  • Free tier capped at 10 daily creations and includes no commercial rights
  • Commercial rights unavailable on free tier; even Pro plan requires upgrade to Premier for premium uses
