A better choice than OurSong: hear your song before you pay, not after

You may have seen OurSong's ads — a custom song for a one-time $49.95. It has its share of users.

Here's the structural difference worth knowing before you buy, plus what its own review history says.

Pay first, hear later — or hear first, pay if you love it

OurSong's model today: pay $49.95, then receive your song (the site says most arrive within 24 hours). Whatever the delivery speed, the order is fixed — money first, song second. For something as personal as a gift song, that order matters: you're buying a feeling you haven't felt yet.

Tuneliq flips it. Make 4 complete songs free, listen to every second, edit the lyrics as much as you like, and only think about paying after a song has already made you feel something.

What its review history is worth to you

OurSong's Google Play reviews from its earlier subscription era include a pattern we took seriously when designing Tuneliq: users describing charges before they ever heard their song, progress bars stuck for days, long messages reduced to a couple of lyric lines, and support emails that went unanswered. The product has since changed its model — but those reviews shaped our checklist:

• Speed is a floor, not a feature: songs arrive in minutes, and a failed generation never costs anything.
• Progress you can actually see: generation shows its stages as it works, and a notification tells you the moment your song is ready — no staring at a stuck bar.
• Your words are the material: lyrics appear line by line, and you edit them free, without limits, until they're yours.
• Billing you can read: your remaining songs sit in the corner of the screen, every use is listed in your history, unused songs roll over, and cancellation lives where it should — in your app store, one tap away.
• Support that responds: write to support@tuneliq.com and you'll hear back from us.

The short version

An affordable custom song is a reasonable thing to want. So is hearing it before you pay for it. You shouldn't have to choose.

A custom song is the only gift made from your own memories — which is exactly why you should hear it before you pay for it. Make yours free, listen to the whole thing, then decide. Turn your love into a song.
