Bandloop vs OnSong

An OnSong alternative
for the whole band

OnSong is a deep chord-chart and performance app, and each musician runs their own copy. Bandloop starts from the band instead: one song library everybody shares, setlists the whole lineup sees, a teleprompter for the stage, and the gigs and money that come with it.

One setlist the whole band shares — keys, tunings, notes

The band, not just the music stand

A chart app solves one musician's problem. A band has more of them: which songs are we doing, in what key, where's the gig, who's confirmed, and who gets paid what. Bandloop keeps all of it in one place your whole lineup shares — with no per-musician subscription.

Where OnSong may fit better

If you're a player who lives in chord charts — detailed formatting, capo and chord diagrams, a big personal songbook on an iPad — OnSong is built for exactly that, and it's very good at it. Bandloop's chord notes are simpler. Plenty of bands use both: OnSong on the music stand, Bandloop for the setlist, the gig, and the pay.

Common questions
Does every band member need to pay for Bandloop?+

No. Bandloop is free to start for the whole band with no member cap. Pro is $7/month per band — not per musician — and adds the pay split, unlimited setlists, full gig history, setlist PDFs, and Google Calendar sync.

Can Bandloop show chords, or just lyrics?+

Both. Every song keeps a band chord chart and a private sheet for each member, and both show up next to the lyrics in the teleprompter. It's simpler than OnSong's full chart formatting — if you need capo diagrams and detailed chart layouts, OnSong is the deeper tool.

Does Bandloop work on Android?+

Yes — the Android app is in beta, the iPhone and iPad app is on the App Store, and everything also runs in any web browser. OnSong lists Android as coming soon.
