Songlorious prices a song by its length: $200 for two minutes, $250 for three, and up to $395 for six. Standard delivery takes 4 days; 3 days costs $20 more, 2 days $35 and next day $85.

Its songwriters email you the lyrics before recording, and you can reword any line at no cost, as long as each line stays within about three words of its length. The voice comes from its artist catalog: each one, it says, is based on a real singer who agreed to work with it and is paid, and its producers use AI-assisted tools.

Songilingy is made with AI from start to finish, which keeps the price at $29.99. You change the lyric draft however you like, then hear two finished versions with a free account and no card before deciding whether to pay.

The real math

What it costs to find out if the gift works

Songlorious asks for the money, or half of it, before you hear the finished song, and changes after delivery carry a fee. Here you listen first, and three changes after buying are free.

Songlorious portrait

When Songlorious may suit you better

If the voice matters to you, Songlorious lets you choose one from its catalog of real singers, and its songwriters and producers lead the work. You still get to reword the lyrics before recording.

It also suits a song for a business, through its Commercial License add-on, and a buyer who would like a cassette-shaped USB to hand over.

The trade-off: you pay $200 or more before hearing the finished song, or pay half to hear about 30 seconds, and there are no refunds once work begins (a fully paid order can be cancelled within 24 hours, minus a 35% fee).

Songilingy case

Where Songilingy is the better buy

For the price of one Songlorious song you could unlock six Songilingy songs, and each one comes with an MP3, the lyrics, the print designs, the QR cards and a gift page.

More to the point, you judge the whole song, both versions of it, before paying. A 30-second clip tells you the voice. Whether the song carries your story all the way through, you only learn by hearing it in full.

And when the date is close, there is no rush tier: your versions are usually done within a few minutes of approving the words.

Four things worth knowing

  1. 01

    Neither service refunds a finished song. A fully paid Songlorious order can be cancelled within 24 hours for the price minus a 35% fee, and the Try Before You Buy deposit is not refundable.

  2. 02

    On Songilingy, an unlocked song can't be returned unless the law requires it. That is the reason both versions play in full before you're asked to pay.

  3. 03

    If you buy Songlorious's Streaming add-on, the song is released under the artist's name and Songlorious keeps the streaming revenue; you receive no royalties.

  4. 04

    Both will sing lyrics you wrote, and both cap the length. Songlorious allows 1,800 characters for two minutes; Songilingy takes a full song’s worth of words and sings them as written.
