Anychord

A free Chordify alternative

Anychord does the same core job — it hears the chords out of a recording and lays them out in time — and keeps the whole website free: every song, transposing and capo suggestions included, no account.

What is free on Anychord

  1. 1

    Any song

    Paste a YouTube link, type a title or upload audio. There is no daily allowance.

  2. 2

    Transpose and capo

    Move any song to another key, or keep its pitch and get the capo fret that makes the shapes easier.

  3. 3

    Guitar and piano

    Diagrams for both instruments, the current chord drawn large and the next one counted in.

Why people look for an alternative

Chordify made automatic chord recognition popular, and plenty of people use it happily. Others want the basics without a subscription. On the Anychord website there is no paid tier — ads pay for it — so nothing described on this page is a trial.

Like any automatic tool, Anychord gives an estimate from the audio. Simple arrangements come out well, dense ones less so — check a chord by ear before you write it down.

Questions

Is Anychord part of Chordify?
No. Anychord is an independent project. Chordify is a trademark of its owner and is named here only to say what Anychord is an alternative to.
Is it really free?
The website is: every song, transpose and capo included, without an account. The phone apps have an optional Premium plan.
Are there apps?
Yes, for Android on Google Play and for iPhone on the App Store.
How accurate is it?
Good on straightforward songs, shakier on dense arrangements. The chords are worked out by a model, not checked by a person — trust your ear over the screen.
