In their own words
ChoirMate
ChoirMate combines choir administration with rehearsal, music-sharing, event, communication, and attendance tools. Rehearsal tracks can be arranged by set list, song, and voice group, and conductors or choir members can make recordings. Members can access scores and shared song remarks, with a built-in piano available in the app. Choirs can record attendance for calendar activities and export the data in an Excel-friendly file. Members can receive management messages, comment on them, and chat individually or in groups, including voice-group threads. Premium calendar synchronization works with Google Calendar, iCloud, and other calendar platforms. Subscribers can play audio and read scores offline after opening those resources once while connected to the internet. ChoirMate supports web, Android, and iOS; iOS requires version 16 or later, and Android requires 8.0 Oreo or later. The service says it supports 13 languages and is used by over 100,000 singers. The free plan allows up to 50 people, 10 audio files per user, and 15 repertoire songs. Paid plans include Individual ChoirMate Premium at $4.99 a month, Standard Package at $26.67 a month, and Premium Package at $53.33 a month; the package prices are billed annually with a stated 17% saving.
MatchMySound
MatchMySound compares a teacher or publisher's reference recording with a student's performance using sound-recognition technology. Its algorithm checks differences in sound qualities and timing at intervals of 1/43rd of a second. Students receive numerical scores and graphic feedback after they finish playing, not during the performance. The system is intended for pitched instruments, including guitar and piano. Teachers can create assignments, add original or library content, monitor progress, and use built-in live video for coaching between lessons. Users can upload MuseScore and MusicXML notation files, as well as WAV, MP3, and OGG audio. Matching can be embedded in web pages using an iFrame and connected to learning apps through LTI. MatchMySound runs in modern browsers on laptops, tablets, and phones without an app installation. Teacher accounts are free with enrolled, active students, though teachers may cover student fees. Student subscriptions cost $4.99 a month, billed monthly. A limited-time Sweetwater 90-day free trial is listed.
