Songwriter's Pad review

Songwriter's Pad is a lyric notebook first and an AI tool second. The app runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android and syncs songs in folders across devices. Around the editor you get an AI lyric generator, a rap lyrics generator, an idea generator, a Song Block Editor for building a song in parts, rhyme lookup and an audio recorder that can also import beats. Pricing is metered by AI tokens. The free Novice plan covers 3 songs and 750 AI word tokens, Hobbyist costs $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year for unlimited songs and 5,000 tokens a month, Amateur is $9.99 a month for 20,000 tokens, and Professional is $19.99 a month for 50,000. That makes it the cheapest paid songwriting-specific option on this list on annual billing. It does not generate audio. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
