Why people switch
CHORDS ALONE DON'T
TEACH YOU THE SONG.
TAB NOTATION, NOT JUST NAMES
Chord names tell you what to play. Tab notation tells you where on the fretboard, in what position, and exactly when. Riffs and lead lines need tabs, not chord symbols.
SYNCED LYRICS, WORD LEVEL
Chordify shows chords above lyrics. We show lyrics that highlight word by word as the song plays. Better for learning vocals and chord changes together.
STEMS, SECTIONS, MIDI
Stem separation lets you isolate guitar, bass, drums, vocals. Section markers structure the song. MIDI export opens in any DAW. Chordify doesn't ship these.

FAQ
What's the actual difference between Chordify and audio2guitar?
Chordify shows chord names above lyrics. That's it. Audio2guitar gives you the chord chart with diagrams (170+ types), guitar tab notation, word level synced lyrics, section markers (verse/chorus/bridge), and stem separation from the same upload. If you only need chord names, Chordify works. If you want to actually play the song, you need tabs.
How accurate is the chord detection?
Audio2guitar detects 170+ chord types including extensions, inversions, and slash chords. Chordify focuses on basic triads and common 7ths. Try 3 free songs and compare on the same audio.
Can I see the strumming pattern?
Section markers show where the song changes feel. Tab notation gives you exact note timing per beat, which is the most accurate way to derive a strumming pattern.
Does it work with my own recordings or covers?
Yes. Mp3, wav, m4a, flac. Upload any clear audio recording up to 100 MB on Pro.
What's the price comparison?
Audio2guitar Pro is $6.99 per month, or $4.17 per month on the annual plan. Chordify Premium starts at $7.99 per month. We're cheaper and include features Chordify doesn't (tabs, diagrams, synced lyrics, MIDI).
Is there a mobile experience?
The web app works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome with full playback, scrubbing, and section practice. Native apps are on the roadmap.
