Price is one of the clearest differences, though Songfinch and Songlorious are closer than people expect.

Songfinch’s homepage says songs start at $179 and its FAQ says $199.99. Artist cards range from $179 to $1,099, and most sit between $199 and $299. Rush is extra. Pay in 4 interest-free installments is available.

Songlorious pricing is set by length on its order page: $180 for 2 minutes, $225 for 3 minutes (its most popular) and $265.50 for 4 minutes. Its FAQ elsewhere says 3-minute songs start at $250, which conflicts with the order page, so confirm at checkout. Faster delivery adds $20 to $85. A pop-up offers $25 off if you sign up for SMS.

TunedForYou is priced differently: $19.99 for the song, $29 for Keepsake (cover art made from your story, a lyric video and a greeting card) and $49 for Studio (a memory video of their photo moving to the song and a studio-quality WAV). You pay once, with no subscription and no rush fee. See the pricing page.

That makes it easy to use for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day or Christmas each year.

Hearing something before you commit reduces risk if you have never ordered a custom song.

Songlorious has “Try Before You Buy”: you hear a snippet of your song and pay 50% up front. That is a real middle ground between paying in full and paying nothing.

On Songfinch you can choose an artist and a delivery date at checkout; the pages we read did not describe a preview of your own song before paying.
