What SongScribe is
SongScribe is a songwriting app with tools for lyrics and chords, plus demo recording for capturing song ideas. It is available on iOS, macOS, and the web. The Free plan allows a library of up to 10 songs, with up to 5 recordings per song. Writers can move to the Lifetime upgrade for $19.95, paid once, billed one time with no subscription. That plan provides lifetime access to all features and includes a 7-day free trial. SongScribe uses a freemium pricing model, so the free option sits alongside the paid lifetime plan. Its listed feature set includes lyric tools, chord tools, and demo recording; melody tools and collaboration are not included. The song library limit is 10 songs on the Free plan. SongScribe is made by a company headquartered in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. Its combination of lyric and chord tools with demo recording is suited to writers who want to keep song drafts and recorded ideas in one app, within the available song and recording allowances.
