Onset β€” the stage prompter for singers. On stage your hands are on the mic. You can't hold sheets, and between one line and the next there's no time to scroll with a finger. Onset does one thing, and does it well: your lyrics scroll on their own, in time with the song, while you sing hands-free. How it works: you bring the lyrics β€” type them, paste them, or import them from a PDF you already have. Then calibrate once by tapping the lines to the beat, and from then on the prompter runs itself. No more marks on paper, no more "where was I". WHAT YOU GET β€’ Setlists for every night: build them, reorder them on the fly. β€’ Chords above the words, with a few semitones of transpose when you change key. β€’ Lead and backing-vocal lines kept separate, so you always know your part. β€’ Backing tracks to follow while you read. β€’ Song timings looked up online and attached to your own lyrics: the grid of minutes and seconds comes back, never the words. β€’ PDF charts, if you already have them. ON IPHONE AND IPAD β€’ Apple Music: start the song from your own library and Onset follows it. β€’ iCloud sync: songs and setlists follow you from iPhone to iPad, no account to create. Made for singers, songwriters and anyone who plays live β€” not to fill the screen with features you'll never touch. Onset is small, finished and cared-for: open it and you're ready, no endless tutorials. Screen stays on, no notifications while you play, true black on OLED. Your songs stay on your phone. Onset is brand new and grows with the musicians who use it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ravit Studio at none against Onset's 2. Ravit Studio also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Onset's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
