## About the vendor

- **Company**: Digital Candy

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$9.00
- **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free version available) (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Free: Every new signup gets 14 days of full Pro features automatically — no credit card required. During the trial: unlimited songs, full editing, PDF chord-sheet export, and MIDI export. After the trial, every song you already wrote stays fully editable and playable — nothing is locked or made read-only, and no song is ever deleted. What Free caps is starting a new song. Free includes the full chord palette (37 chords across diatonic, borrowed, and secondary dominants), all guitar and piano voicings, the modulation panel with pivot-chord routes, all Word Tools (rhymes, slant rhymes, synonyms, semantic drift, Word Collider), playback and accompaniment, and audio recording. Pro ($9/mo or $7/mo annual — $84/year): Everything in Free, plus unlimited songs, PDF chord-sheet export with mini fretboard / keyboard diagrams per section, MIDI export of chord and melody tracks, cloud sync across all your devices, and full collaboration — view-only and editor share links, email invitations, up to 5 editors per song, and collaborator role management (editor / viewer / revoke). The separate Band tier was withdrawn from sale on 31 July 2026 and its collaboration features are now part of Pro at no extra cost; subscriptions created before that date keep their original price and terms. Song Cage Desktop + Plugin: $99 one-time with a 14-day free trial. A perpetual licence for the native macOS and Windows desktop app and the AU/VST3 plugin — one purchase covers both. It is not a subscription, it does not renew, and it is bought separately from any subscription. Mobile capture (free native iOS and Android apps): 100% free, forever, on every plan. Voice memos with neural pitch detection, lyric scratchpads, and chord sketch pads, working fully offline with no account required. Captures sync to the web app and desktop editor once you sign in with Pro. Annual billing saves up to 22%. Cancel anytime. Billing is securely handled by Stripe; Song Cage doesn't store credit card details.
- **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+
