What is Chordify?
Chordify listens to a song — uploaded, from YouTube, SoundCloud or Deezer — and prints the guitar, piano or ukulele chords above a moving timeline, so you can play along without reading sheet music.
What the free plan gives you: unlimited chord detection and playback. What you pay for: transposing to another key, changing playback speed, capo suggestions, MIDI and PDF export, and an ad-free page — from about $4/month on the annual plan.
Accuracy, honestly: it is strong on guitar-driven pop, rock and folk with a clear harmonic structure, and noticeably weaker on dense mixes, jazz voicings, heavy distortion and live recordings. Treat the output as a solid first draft a player corrects by ear, not as a transcription you can trust note for note.
Best for self-taught players who want to learn songs quickly. Not for anyone who needs publishable sheet music or exact tablature.
