PitchHighway vs Simply Sing (2026): your own song or a song catalog

Updated . Facts about Simply Sing are as of this date; the sources are at the end of the page.

Simply Sing lets you sing songs from its own catalog, moved into your vocal range. PitchHighway builds a practice journey from a song that you upload. That is the one-sentence difference. Simply Sing comes from Simply Ltd (formerly JoyTunes), the company that also makes Simply Piano and Simply Guitar. All facts about Simply Sing are as of 2026-10-15, and the sources are at the end of this page.

The core difference

Simply Sing is a mobile singing app with a searchable, growing library of songs in pop, rock and other genres. The vendor says that it finds your voice type and adapts every catalog song to your vocal range. While you sing, it shows whether you are in key, tracks your notes and scores you. You gain experience points (XP) from songs and warmups, and short Level Up courses then unlock harder difficulty levels. Short daily warmups and tips sit around the songs.

PitchHighway has no licensed song catalog, only a small built-in set of training songs. You upload the song that you want to learn, as an MP3 file or a YouTube link of up to 10 minutes. PitchHighway then builds a journey for that song: warmups in the song's key, drills for the notes that you cannot reach yet, phrase-by-phrase practice, and a full-song run with real-time pitch feedback.

Thus Simply Sing gives you many songs and one routine across them. PitchHighway gives you one song at a time and a plan made from that song. If the song is in the Simply Sing catalog, you can start at once. If it is not, Simply Sing offers a Request-a-Song button with no promise that the song will be added.

Switching from Simply Sing

Expect these differences when you move from Simply Sing to PitchHighway:

  1. There is no licensed catalog to browse, only a small built-in set of training songs. You bring the song: an MP3 file or a YouTube link, up to 10 minutes long.
  2. Processing takes a few minutes. PitchHighway separates the vocal, analyzes it and builds the journey. The app shows the status and tells you when the song is ready.
  3. The "Fit songs to my voice" setting controls the register. When it is on, PitchHighway moves a song by whole octaves into your range. When it is off, songs play in their original key. The setting does not change the key by semitones, because the recording must stay in sync.
  4. Make a free account at pitchhighway.com/register. You do not need a download. A free browser account currently includes 1 lifetime song upload.
  5. The free tools need no account. Try the vocal range test, the voice type test or the vocal warm-up.
  6. Premium adds more uploads (up to 5 each day and 50 each month) and all journeys. On iOS, Apple bills the subscription. On the web, Stripe bills it.
