RECATOOLS Verdict

Same team, same product, new name: Sonauto became Treblo in January 2026 after the founders decided people couldn't spell or pronounce the old one. Everything else carried over — accounts, saved tracks, old share links (which now redirect) — and the core pitch is unchanged: full songs with lyrics and vocals from a text prompt, generated free and without a usage cap, which puts real pricing pressure on Suno and Udio.

The v3-Preview engine handles songs up to 4.5 minutes and can generate "in the style of" prompts across a wide range of genres; stem export (vocals, drums, bass, instrumental) and section-level re-editing add real production use beyond a novelty demo. Output quality is good but still trails the two market leaders on consistency. The Melodia developer API is the part consumer rivals mostly lack — a real reason to pick this over Suno if you're building, not just listening.

What people say

Sonauto rebranded to Treblo in January 2026. The founders — the same four people, per the company's own transition post — said the original name was a holdover from when the product was a research project: hard to spell, hard to say out loud, and too technical-sounding to recommend to a friend. Treblo (from "treble") is the replacement. sonauto.ai now redirects to treblo.com, logins and passwords carry over, and previously shared song, playlist and artist links keep working through the redirect.

The core product hasn't changed: type a prompt, get back a full song with lyrics and vocals. It's free with no generation cap, which is the headline difference against Suno and Udio, where meaningful use runs about $10/month. The v3-Preview model generates songs up to 4.5 minutes, understands a wide range of genre blends, and supports "in the style of" prompting. Editing tools go beyond a single-shot generation — stems export separately (vocals, drums, bass, instrumental), and users can extend tracks or replace specific sections rather than regenerating from scratch.

One review site tested 150-plus generated songs and found quality "surprisingly high" with some inconsistency between generations — a reasonable summary of where it sits: strong for a free tool, not automatically ahead of the paid leaders. The Melodia developer API is separately priced: 1,500 free signup credits, then $11/month for 20,000 credits (roughly 200 full songs with auto-lyrics at $0.075 each), $88/month for 160,000 credits, and custom high-volume plans from $330/month with priority support.

For a directory listing, the practical issue is the name change itself — anyone landing on a "Sonauto" entry today needs to know they'll end up on treblo.com, not a defunct product. The mobile apps went through the same swap: the iOS and Android listings still carry the old "ai.sonauto.app" package ID under the hood but now show up in app stores as Treblo. PitchBook tracks the company under its original Sonauto name for funding and cap-table purposes, which is a useful cross-check if the branding gets confusing.
