Why people switch
CATALOG IS A CEILING.
AUDIO IS NOT.
THE SONG IS NEVER THERE
Songsterr's catalog is a fraction of what's actually being recorded. New releases, indie tracks, worship songs, regional music, AI generated songs. None of it is in the catalog.
CHORDS, NOT JUST NOTES
Songsterr shows tabs only. Audio2guitar gives you tabs plus a full chord chart with 170+ diagrams plus synced lyrics. One upload, every output.
FASTER, CHEAPER
$6.99/month versus $9.90/month for Songsterr Plus. Pay less, transcribe any song you want, no waiting on someone else's catalog roadmap.

FAQ
Why would I switch from Songsterr?
Songsterr is great if your song is in their catalog. The moment you want a song that isn't (a new release, an indie track, a regional or worship song, your own Suno generation), you're stuck. Audio2guitar reads audio, so if you can play the file, the system can chart it.
How does Songsterr's AI tier compare?
Songsterr's AI tier accepts uploads but bass and lead accuracy are widely criticized in community forums. Our beam search transcription is benchmarked against direct competitors and outperforms on note positioning and chord progression accuracy. Try 3 free songs and judge for yourself.
Do I get tabs and chords or just one?
Both. Every upload returns: guitar tabs, chord chart with 170+ chord diagrams, word level synced lyrics, and section markers. Songsterr's catalog tier is tabs only, no synced lyrics or chord diagrams.
Is the catalog the same size?
We don't have a catalog. Every song is generated from your upload. That's the point. Songsterr's tab catalog is a fixed library; we transcribe whatever you give us.
What about practice features like loop and slowdown?
Yes. Loop sections, half speed playback, click track, and section by section practice are built in.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long term contract. Cancel from your account settings, no email required.
