Our verdict on Autochords

Autochords gives songwriters a quick way to find chord ideas by choosing a progression type and key or randomizing a suggestion. It presents a main progression, related alternatives, and the standard chords in the selected key. The product is available as a browser-based generator and as a separate iPhone and iPad app, so it suits people who want a lightweight starting point rather than an AI songwriting system or a full composition environment.

The mobile app adds practical reference and playback tools: guitar, piano, and ukulele chord diagrams, plus the ability to preview and play full progressions. PRO enables custom progression creation and MIDI export in the app. The website and app are distinct experiences, so the app’s diagrams, playback, custom editing, and MIDI export should not be assumed to be browser features. This makes Autochords a closer fit for mobile-first idea exploration than for a workflow that depends on moving editable progressions into desktop music software.

The offering is freemium. The App Store listing labels the app free with in-app purchases, and its paid options are PRO Weekly, PRO Monthly, PRO Annual, and PRO Lifetime; each provides PRO features in the Autochords app. The lowest listed app purchase is weekly, while the browser generator is a separate tool rather than the same paid product. Choose Autochords for simple, key-based suggestions and mobile playback; look elsewhere if you need AI-generated material, melody or bass follow-up, or plugin formats.

How long have you used it?

I've used Autochords myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
