Notes
Suno is a song generator. Flow Music is Lyria. Neither is a DAW.
Hear both on the same brief. Keep the vocals you would actually keep. Read the commercial terms before a client hears it. If the work is high stakes, budget a human or a library for the final.
Hear Suno and Flow Music on the same brief. Read commercial terms before a client hears it. Budget a human or library for high-stakes finals. Not a DAW. If the track will run in an ad, the license paragraph is the product.

Notes
Flow Music is a Lyria listening room with export. Suno is the other default for a finished-feeling song from a prompt. Neither is a DAW.
Decide with your ears on the same brief in both, on the same day, and keep the one whose vocals you will actually keep. If your workflow is already Suno-to-Ableton, stay there unless Lyria is clearly better on your genre. If you are starting from zero and you already live in a Google account, Flow Music is a fair first stop — just do not schedule a release calendar against daily credits.
