Chordbot vs SONGTAKE

Chordbot is a songwriting app and backing-track generator for creating and playing chord progressions in different musical styles. It is available on Android and iOS. Its library includes more than 60 chord types in all inversions, with over 70 comping-style presets and the option to build styles from more than 400 instrument tracks. An automatic or manual inversion selector helps shape chord transitions, while repeatable song sections can each use a different comping style or arrangement. Song-O-Matic can generate progressions when users need ideas. Songs can be exported as MIDI for DAW editing or as WAV for sharing. Song files use JSON and can be shared through file-sharing apps; only JSON files can be imported back into Chordbot. Lite is free, but saving and exporting are disabled. Pro costs $4.99, paid once and enables both. The maker permits commercial use of creations in recordings and performances under a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license.

SONGTAKE is an iOS and macOS app for capturing musical ideas, recording band takes and organizing demos with audio and video together. Ideas mode captures compressed video clips, while Demos mode starts recording on multiple phones and syncs those recordings automatically. Users can add video overdubs, build multitrack recordings over existing ideas, import audio and video, and let bandmates contribute or overdub remotely. AI stem splitting separates vocals, drums and bass. SONGTAKE says projects can be exported as AAF for opening in any DAW. The free plan includes offline recording, basic export, 250MB of storage and up to 16 tracks per song. Local data syncs to servers when internet is available. Studio Access costs $7.49 a month and includes 1TB storage, offline mode, band storage sharing, pro export templates and 4K video. Patrons costs $11.99 a month and adds 1.5TB storage, feature voting, Patron export templates, credits and custom app icons to Studio Access features. The privacy policy says data is encrypted with AES-256 in cold storage and SSL/TLS in transit.
