Short answer: never quote from the 0.6 CNY generation price alone. Build the quote from production work, commercial scope, revisions and delivery. A useful structure is: base production + editing extras + usage scope + revision limit + rush or exclusivity.
Real costs behind a client track
| Cost | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Generation | Candidate songs and retries |
| Creative direction | Brief, references, structure and selection |
| Editing | Extend, replace, stems, WAV, MIDI, mixing |
| Communication | Feedback, approvals and version control |
| Rights review | Source material, intended media and client industry |
| Delivery | File naming, archive, export and documentation |
Three pricing models
| Model | Best for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Per song | Simple single-track delivery | Unlimited revisions can destroy margin |
| Project fee | Campaigns, games, video series | Scope must be explicit |
| Hourly or retainer | Frequent changes and long-term teams | Work must be tracked |

FAQ
Should I bill only for generation calls?
No. API cost is a small input compared with creative work, revisions, rights and delivery responsibility.
What is a fair price for one song?
Price the full service scope instead of applying a universal per-song rate.
Is commercial licensing a separate charge?
If you control the necessary rights, wider usage, exclusivity and formal licensing should be separate line items.
