Free playback and karaoke with a 750-track queue; paid plans add filters and 24/7 mode.

Sonata is a Discord music bot for small communities that want shared playback alongside music-based activities. Members can search for tracks or play links, manage queues with commands or buttons, and create or share playlists. Karaoke with vocal suppression and synced lyrics, internet radio, and trivia based on server listening history give it uses beyond background music. Its browser dashboard adds another way to control playback.
The Free plan is priced at $0 per server and includes SoundCloud, Bandcamp, radio, and user uploads, a queue of up to 750 tracks, and 3 saved playlists. Prelude costs $2.99 per month for one server and adds an unlimited queue, 24/7 mode, 17 filters, and 50 playlists of up to 1,000 tracks each. Serenade is $3.99 per month for coverage across 3 servers, while Symphony is $6.99 per month for 6 servers; both include the features of the preceding tier. That makes the free tier substantial for a single community, while paid plans chiefly suit servers that need longer playback, filters, or more playlist and server capacity.
Sonata combines music controls with karaoke, radio, synced lyrics, and trivia, so it fits communities seeking participation as well as track playback. Its listed playable sources are narrower than the services named in its integrations: the site says links from most other music services resolve, and Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube are listed for search and streaming requests. Buyers should distinguish that from the explicit playable-source list. Community support and cloud deployment are the stated fit; choose another option if broader explicitly listed playback sources or a different support channel is essential.
