# SongShift vs Lyrix

SongShift and Lyrix both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of SongShift's written reviews are positive against 13% of Lyrix's. SongShift also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 7.3K). Lyrix's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SongShift sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Lyrix sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for SongShift against 4.7 for Lyrix. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SongShift has 67K ratings behind it against 7.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of SongShift's written reviews are positive against 13% of Lyrix's.

SongShift ships an update monthly, Lyrix every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
