Updated October 16, 2026. Sonauto is now Treblo. The company announced the change on June 3, 2026, and the former sonauto.ai address redirects to treblo.com. Existing accounts, songs and shared links carry over, according to the official rename announcement.
This guide is based on public documentation checked on October 16, 2026. We did not create an account, generate music, upload audio, purchase credits or test downloads. The workflow below is an illustrative evaluation plan.
Name and access
Treblo is the current name of the AI music service operated by Sonauto, Inc. Use the official website rather than assuming a similarly named service is related. Its installation page advertises iOS and Android apps alongside browser access. Check the official store links for availability on your device and in your region; this review did not install either app.
The terms require users to be at least 13, subject to stricter local and regional rules. Eligible minors need a parent or guardian’s agreement. Check eligibility before registering.
Create and edit
The product page describes music generation from an idea, style tags and optional lyrics. You can supply original words, request generated lyrics or choose an instrumental. Advertised editing options include replacing lyrics, revising sections, extending tracks and making remixes or covers. Listed downloads include OGG, MP3, WAV, FLAC and M4A, with private, unlisted and public sharing choices.
These options make the service worth evaluating for a personal song, a songwriting sketch or a draft soundtrack. Decide what matters before generating: intelligible words, a usable ending, consistency between sections or room for narration. Those criteria are more useful than accepting a broad claim that every output is professionally finished.
Free use and API pricing
Treblo currently advertises free consumer song generation with its latest model and no daily song limit. That is the provider’s published offer, not a capacity or speed test. The developer API pricing page describes a separate credit-based service:
- Trial: 3,000 credits after card verification, described as about 30 songs.
- Starter: $11 per month for 20,000 credits; additional pay-as-you-go credits at $0.06 per 100.
- Pro: $88 per month for 160,000 credits; additional credits at $0.06 per 100.
- Scale: $330 per month for 660,000 credits; additional credits at $0.05 per 100.
- Enterprise: $1,150 per month for 2,875,000 credits; additional credits at $0.04 per 100.
These are the dollar-symbol amounts displayed publicly, not verified checkout totals. The page reviewed did not identify a currency code or tax treatment. Confirm the currency, taxes and final charge before paying. Do not treat these monthly figures as annually billed discounts or consumer-app subscriptions.
The API documentation says each v3 generation, extension, inpainting or reference request costs 100 credits. A single v3 generation is capped at 4 minutes 45 seconds, and reference material shares that context budget. Editing requests can therefore use credits without producing an additional finished song.
The v3 documentation still labels the model beta/preview: behavior may change and some outputs may be poorer than v2. Evaluate it against your own requirements.
Billing and refunds
Under the API terms, subscription credits reset each billing period without rollover; unused credits can also lapse on plan changes or cancellation. Purchased pay-as-you-go credits do not expire. Credits are generally non-refundable, except where law requires otherwise. Optional automatic top-ups charge the saved payment method at the configured threshold.
The subscription terms specify automatic renewal; cancellation through the account takes effect when the paid term ends. Before subscribing, record the renewal date and review how cancellation affects both access and remaining credits. No checkout or refund request was tested for this guide.
Song rights
Section 8 of the current terms assigns the provider’s rights, if any, in your outputs to you, to the extent permitted by law. Its general commercial-use restrictions do not limit your use of your own outputs. It does not guarantee copyright protection, legality or uniqueness.
You still need permission for submitted third-party material and identifiable voices or likenesses. The terms also restrict promoting generated music with another person’s identity without consent. Review inputs and outputs before release; using an available remix feature does not establish permission for someone else’s material.
For developers, the API terms permit commercial applications subject to their conditions. User-facing implementations require a prominent attribution link to Treblo unless a separate agreement waives it. Keep a record of the applicable terms, source material, generation date and intended distribution for any commercial project.
Privacy before uploading
The privacy policy covers account details, prompts, lyrics, uploaded audio, generated content and technical usage data. Consumer content may be used for model development and evaluation. Inputs can also be processed by outside providers for functions such as prompt assistance and moderation. Publicly posted content can be visible through search engines or embeds.
The policy distinguishes the developer API: API content is not used to train or fine-tune the provider’s generative models. The API terms also say API inputs and outputs are not published in public areas, while operational and billing records are retained. This is not a zero-retention promise.
A private sharing setting should not be treated as a confidentiality agreement. Avoid confidential client lyrics, sensitive personal information or unreleased recordings until the relevant data terms meet your requirements. The privacy policy describes deletion options and exceptions for legal needs, enforcement records and backups.
A practical workflow
Imagine a fictional creator developing music for a personal travel montage. The following is an original planning example, not a tested prompt or a report of a generated result:
Example brief: “An instrumental with gentle acoustic guitar, light percussion and a warm, unhurried mood. Leave space for spoken narration. Build gradually, avoid sudden dramatic changes and finish with a clear ending.”
- Define the edit first. Note where narration starts, the mood of each scene and the length of the intended excerpt. Choose two or three requirements that matter most.
- Start with a simple idea. Use the brief as a starting point and choose the instrumental option for this scenario. Treat descriptive requests as goals to assess, rather than promises of exact musical control.
- Listen against a checklist. Check the opening, transitions, repeated sections and ending. Try the candidate beneath narration and listen on both headphones and ordinary speakers.
- Change one thing at a time. If a passage feels too busy, revise that part of the brief before changing genre, mood and instrumentation together. Keep notes so you can tell which revision helped.
- Review before export. Check for unexpected vocals or recognizable borrowed material. Confirm the file suits your editor, save a local copy and keep the prompt and project notes with it.
- Reassess before publication. If the personal montage becomes an advertisement or client deliverable, revisit the rights, data handling and distribution requirements before reusing the music.
Limits to check
Language support deserves a listening check: Treblo’s FAQ warns that pronunciation can be unreliable for languages using non-Latin scripts. No comparative audio-quality, latency or language test was conducted here.
Developers should also plan storage. The documentation warns that generated-file URLs are unlisted rather than access-controlled and may stop working after a week. Download assets you need to retain and handle their URLs carefully.
For service interruptions, consult the official status page; a public operational indicator does not verify an individual account or future availability. To evaluate another music service, see our Suno guide and compare the specific export, billing and usage conditions relevant to your project.
