What Chordify is
Chordify turns music from YouTube, SoundCloud, or a private collection into chords aligned with an interactive player. Users can search those services and its catalog of 36 million songs already chordified, then play along on guitar, ukulele, piano, or mandolin. Chordify uses deep neural networks to recognize chords and track beats, and its web and mobile versions share songs users chordify or favorite. The Toolkit includes a chromatic tuner, metronome, chord practice, and live chord detection; Premium Plus unlocks all Toolkit features. Chords can be exported as PDF or MIDI, and chordified songs can be embedded on websites or blogs, though edits are not supported in embeds. A free plan is available. Basic costs $2 a year, Premium $3.50 a year, and Premium Plus $4.50 a year. Mandolin support is limited to the website and Android app. Deezer songs are unavailable, and Deezer links work only on the website, not in the Android or iOS apps.
