Our verdict on OnSong
OnSong is a digital music library and performance app for singer-songwriters, entertainers, worship musicians and music therapists. It helps performers import, edit and organize songs, build books and sets, and display chord charts during performances. Its tools include chord transposition, capo diagrams, autoscroll and foot-pedal page turning. That makes it a fit for performers who work from song charts and need stage-oriented controls, rather than buyers looking primarily for a broad sheet-music catalog.
The published plans show a free version alongside a 30-day free trial and two subscription tiers. Essentials costs $29.99 per user per year or $3.99 per user per month; it includes unlimited songs in the digital library, books and set lists, song editing, and hands-free page turning. Premium costs $59.99 per user per year or $5.99 per user per month. It adds chart annotations such as drawings and sticky notes, backing tracks and multitracks, MIDI stage automation, and OnSong Console browser editing. The monthly starting price is $3.99 per user. Choose Essentials for core library and performance organization; Premium is the relevant step up when stage audio, automation or annotations matter.
OnSong combines Apple mobile and Mac apps with browser-based library viewing and editing. Listed connections include Dropbox, Google Drive, Files, PraiseCharts, SongSelect and Planning Center. The app also supports printing songs or exporting PDFs, while its performance features include click tracks and multitracks. Its platform fit is specific: the listed Apple requirements are iOS/iPadOS 15+ and macOS 11+. Buyers wanting chart management, set lists and stage controls should consider it; those seeking a general-purpose sheet-music catalog or a broader listed platform range should look elsewhere. Documentation is the listed support channel.
