Introduction
Suno describes v6 Wild as built for exploration: less predictable and more varied, with unexpected, textured and ambitious results.
Key features
Made to wander
Where v6 aims for polish, Wild is meant to take chances. Ask for odd textures in prompt and raise weirdness when you bring your own lyrics or go instrumental. Two versions per request let you see how differently it can read the same brief.
Still faithful to your words
Wild is not sloppy with lyrics. A clean 11-line lyric sheet was sung word for word, in order, with section tags kept silent, just as on the other v6 models.
Lyrics, auto lyrics or none
Send lyrics, let the model write them from prompt (generate_lyrics is on by default), or switch on instrumental. Length follows the lyrics; our samples ran from 0:46 to 3:05.

Pricing
Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.
| Option | Credits per run | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 10.8 | $0.11 |
Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 11 credits per run ($0.11).
For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Auditioning directions
Run the same idea with three different style briefs and you have six takes to react to.
Textured background music
Lo-fi beds, glitchy pop and textured ambient tracks for streams, videos and game menus.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Be specific about texture
Wild rewards detail. Instead of “pop”, try “experimental synth-pop, 108 bpm, airy female vocal, detuned analog synths, bowed glass textures”.
Use weirdness and variety together
With your own lyrics or instrumental on, weirdness moves the song away from the expected and variety sets how much the model reworks your style prompt (0 keeps your style tags exactly as written). Change one at a time so you can hear what each does.
API quick start
Call the Suno v6 Wild API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model suno/v6-wild/text-to-audio and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "suno/v6-wild/text-to-audio",
"input": {
"prompt": "Calm ambient pads with a slow rising motif"
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
Suno v6 Wild API questions
How much does the Suno v6 Wild API cost?
Suno v6 Wild costs 11 credits ($0.11) per run. Credits are the same as on the website (1 credit = $0.01), new accounts get 30 free credits, and failed tasks are refunded.
What is the model name for Suno v6 Wild in the API?
Put suno/v6-wild/text-to-audio for Music in the model field of POST /jobs/createTask.
Is Wild better than v6?
Not in any measure we can state. It is a different character, so try both on the same brief and compare the two versions each returns.
Am I charged if a request is rejected or fails?
No. The amount held for the request is released in full.
Can I choose who sings?
Partly. Describe the voice in the style brief, such as a pitched-up female vocal. With your own lyrics or instrumental on you can also set vocal_gender to female or male; it is a preference, not a guarantee, and we have not measured how often it holds.
What are the limits of the Suno v6 Wild API?
Reference images: 5; Reference audio: 1; Reference videos: 1; Prompt length (characters): 3,000. Requests outside these limits are rejected before anything is charged.
Can I try Suno v6 Wild without writing code?
Yes. The Playground runs Suno v6 Wild on your PopNow credits, needs no API key, and shows the matching code for every run.
All Suno models
Suno v6 is the reliable, precise choice for a song you already hear in your head. Wild is for finding a sound you haven't heard yet.
