Custom song prices compared
A custom song costs anywhere from $6.99 to $250 or more, depending on who writes and sings it. Human songwriter services such as Songfinch and Songlorious start at about $180 and take one to seven days. AI song services such as YourMelody and Songilingy, and fast services such as TunedForYou, cost between $6.99 and $30 and are ready in minutes. We checked each service's own website on October 29, 2026. The table below shows what we found, including what isn't stated.

Prices are in US dollars, before tax, as each site showed them on October 29, 2026. Several of these services run permanent-looking sales, so the price you see may differ. Always check the provider's own page before you buy.
What the price buys
The biggest difference isn't the brand. It's who does the work.
- A human songwriter service ($80 to $250+). A person reads your story, writes the lyrics and records the song. You wait days, and changes after recording are limited or cost extra. You're paying for hours of a musician's time.
- An AI song service ($6.99 to $30). AI writes the lyrics from your answers and an AI voice sings them. It's ready in minutes, and most of these services let you hear your own song before you pay. There is no human singer, and a good service says so plainly.
- A freelance marketplace ($25 to $250+). Quality, speed and rights depend on the seller you pick. Some sellers use AI without saying so, so ask.
Rush delivery costs extra almost everywhere
Most human services quote a standard wait of one to seven days, then charge more for 24-hour delivery. Unique Song's own FAQ lists the 24-hour rush at $49 in one answer and $59 in another. Songfinch, Songlorious and DivineSong offer faster delivery but don't state the price up front. If your gift is due this week, check the rush price before you start.
AI services don't have a rush tier because the normal wait is already minutes.
Read the refund terms, not the banner
"Money-back guarantee" means different things on different sites:
- TunedForYou offers a 30-day guarantee: a revision or a full refund.
- Songilingy says purchases are final, but you only pay for a version you decide to keep.
- Unique Song's banner promises a 100% money-back guarantee. Its refund policy page is stricter: a 48-hour song is fully refundable only within 30 minutes of purchase, half within six hours, and not after that.
- DivineSong and Songfinch promise satisfaction but don't publish refund steps on the pages we checked.
- YourMelody refunds unused credits within 14 days and refunds a song with a technical problem we can't fix. Because you hear the song before you pay, there's no refund for a song made as requested. See our Refund Policy.
How to choose
Which is cheapest?
Among the services we checked, YourMelody is the lowest at $6.99 for a full song in two versions. TunedForYou starts at $14.99 and Songilingy at $29.99. The cheapest human option is a Fiverr seller at around $25, but at that price you're often getting a template or a very short song.
Is a $200 song better than a $6.99 song?
It's different. A $200 song has a human singer and a songwriter who spent time on your story. A $6.99 AI song can still be fully original and personal, because the details come from you. If a real voice matters, or the song is for a first dance, a human songwriter is worth the wait. If you need it today, or want to hear it before paying, an AI song makes more sense.
Which services let me hear my song before paying?
On their own pages, YourMelody, TunedForYou, Songilingy and Unique Song say you can. Songfinch, Songlorious and DivineSong don't say so on the pages we checked.
Can I use the song at a wedding or post it online?
Usually yes for personal use, and usually no for streaming services or ads. Each service has its own license, so check it. Ours is in the License.
How we checked
We visited each service's website on October 29, 2026 and recorded the lowest advertised price for one custom song, the standard delivery time, whether you can hear your own song first, and the refund terms. Where a site didn't state something, we wrote "not stated" rather than guessing. JustOurSong is left out because its site showed only a discount banner, not a base price. Fiverr's figures come from individual sellers' listings, not one price list.
We run YourMelody, so read this with that in mind. We've tried to describe every service, ours included, as its own website does. If a price here is out of date, write to support@yourmelody.ai and we'll correct it.
