Stage Lyrics puts big, clear lyrics and chords on stage - no paper, no clutter, no missed cues. Build songs section by section (verse, chorus, bridge) and drag them into set lists for every gig. Already have charts? Import lyrics straight from PDF, Word, or text files - Stage Lyrics automatically finds your verses and choruses so you're not retyping your whole catalog. Drag chord bubbles onto any word, set your key, and transpose on the fly - every chord follows, whether you play guitar or keys. Prefer numbers? Switch to Nashville notation anytime. Performance mode fills the entire screen with auto-sizing text that's always as big as it can be without cutting off a word, in portrait or landscape. Reach the last slide of a song and the next one loads automatically, so the show never stops. Set a timer to auto-advance on its own, or tap through at your own pace. Go fully hands-free by pairing any AirTurn Bluetooth foot pedal - scroll your lyrics without touching your phone. Spacebar and arrow keys work too for wired setups. A full metronome is always one tap away from the performance screen - set your BPM, time signature, and click sound without ever leaving the app. Stage Lyrics is free to start, with 5 songs and 2 set lists included. Go Pro to unlock unlimited songs and set lists, PDF/Word/text import, ALL CAPS display, and practice tools that record your rehearsal timing and auto-advance slides to match your pace on stage.

Verdict

The call

StageLyrics and Lyrics SetList are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
