OnSong
“The iPad chart tool that finally retired the binder, with pedal control and transposition done right.”
OnSong solves one problem better than almost anything else: putting your charts on an iPad and letting you actually perform from them. Load in your lyrics and chords, and you get instant transposition, automatic scrolling, a capo calculator, and hands-free page turns from a Bluetooth foot pedal so you never take your hands off your instrument. For worship leaders who ditched the binder years ago, it is the tool that made that switch feel effortless.
It is important to understand what OnSong is and isn't. It is not a music store; it does not sell you arrangements. Instead it is where the charts you already own live and perform. You import ChordPro files, PDFs, and songs from sources like PraiseCharts and SongSelect, then organize them into sets, share them with your team, and mark them up. That flexibility is a strength, but it means OnSong is only as good as the charts you feed it.
Pricing is refreshingly gentle in a category full of steep subscriptions. There is a one-time-purchase version, plus inexpensive Essentials and Premium memberships that run just a few dollars a month, and group plans that drop the per-user cost even lower. The real limitation is platform: OnSong is iOS-only, so an Android-based team or a leader on a Windows tablet is simply out of luck. If your musicians are on iPads, though, it is close to essential.
Is it right for you?
Worship leaders and band members on iPads who want a dependable, hands-free way to display, transpose, and perform from charts they already own.
Your team uses Android or Windows devices, or you want a tool that also sells you the actual charts and multitracks rather than just displaying them.
