# Song Cage
Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/547249/Song-Cage
> Song Cage is a songwriting application that combines tools for chord progression building, lyric writing, and music theory on a single workspace. It is designed for songwriters, composers, and musicians working with guitar and piano, providing a centralized environment to develop song ideas before recording.
The application includes a chord palette with a range of diatonic, borrowed, and secondary dominant chords. Guitar fretboard diagrams and piano voicings are provided for each chord. A timeline feature allows users to arrange chord blocks, organize song sections, and synchronize lyrics with rhythm and melody on a beat grid. Context-aware chord suggestions adjust based on surrounding progressions and melodies. A modulation panel helps map pivot chord routes between keys. The lyric workspace includes a rhyme finder that displays perfect rhymes, slant rhymes, and synonyms grouped by syllable count.
The platform connects chords, melody, and lyrics, enabling users to start with any element and expand from there. Melody input snaps notes to chord tones, and the chord palette adjusts to match existing melodies. Audio recording features allow real-time performance capture, with playback and accompaniment options. Export formats include PDF chord sheets and MIDI files. Collaboration tools allow multiple users to work on shared songs with view-only or editing permissions.

## About the vendor

## 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.
