A better choice than SongGifted: the song you want to hear first is your own
SongGifted's human songwriters start at $99 with 4-day standard delivery, and before paying you can only hear other people's samples. On Tuneliq, you hear your own full song free.
When you order a custom song for someone, there's really only one thing you want to know: what will mine sound like?
SongGifted has human songwriters create songs to order; it has its share of users. Its published terms: from $99, delivered as a produced MP3 plus printable lyrics, standard delivery in 4 days, rush available down to 24 hours.
Here's how the two compare, question by question.
The samples sound great. Will mine?
SongGifted lets you listen to samples, but samples are other people's songs. What yours sounds like, you learn only after paying $99 and waiting four days.
That's the gap: samples prove they can write a good song. They can't prove the song about your mom will be one.
Tuneliq lets you hear your own. Your first 4 songs are free, no card required, and each is a complete song built from your words about your person. Listen to the whole thing, then decide whether any of this is worth paying for.
Can you wait four days?
Writing, arranging, recording, mixing: human services can't rush that, and it shows in the schedule. SongGifted takes 4 days standard; faster costs extra.
The trouble is that gifts usually come to mind when the date is already close. Tuneliq makes the song in minutes. Write it today, send it today, even on the way to dinner.
What does the $99 buy?
It buys a person's time, and for a human service that's a fair price.
The question is what you're actually after. If you specifically want a human songwriter and can wait, services like SongGifted are a reasonable pick. If what you want is "turn what I feel into a song I can send," that no longer costs $99: on Tuneliq the first 4 are free, then membership starts at $8.99/month for 30 songs a month. Details on the pricing page.
Same budget, one song on one side, a song for everyone you love on the other.
What if I want to change the lyrics?
On Tuneliq, lyric edits are free and unlimited, including on the free songs. Hear something off, change the line. Wrong overall feel, rewrite the whole thing. Melody not right, keep the lyrics and remake the music in another style, with two versions to pick from each time.
Words written for one person deserve to be reworked until they truly sound like you. That process shouldn't be billed per round.
Our view has always been simple: the part that matters most is what you say to them. We bring the orchestra. You bring the heart.
Anyone can buy a gift. A song, you make. If you want to hear yours today, make your first one free and see how it lands.
Turn your love into a song.
