EnglishSongShift Free vs. SongShift Pro: What’s the Difference?
Updated
SongShift’s free version is enough if you only need to move playlists between streaming services occasionally. SongShift Pro is the paid tier that “unlocks all features,” with pricing shown on the site starting at $6.99 per month. The site does not publish a side-by-side free-versus-Pro feature table, so the exact split between the two tiers should be confirmed on the Pro page before you pay.
What the free version covers
SongShift is described as an app for transferring your favorite music between services to keep your library intact, and the site presents it as free. The core workflow shown on the homepage is:
- Configure your Shift — choose the playlists, songs, or albums you want moved to another streaming service.
- Review matches — after SongShift matches your songs on the destination service, you can fix any mismatches.
- Finish — the transfer completes and the songs appear in your destination library.
That three-step transfer process is the product’s advertised core, and nothing on the homepage suggests it is limited to Pro users. If your goal is simply moving a playlist from one service to another, the free tier is the natural starting point.
What SongShift Pro adds
The site’s only concrete statement about Pro is that it “unlocks all features,” with pricing starting at $6.99/month and a link to a dedicated Pro page. The homepage does not enumerate which features sit behind the paywall.
One feature worth checking against the Pro page is playlist sync. The site lists “Keep playlists in sync — sync additions from your playlist to your destination music streaming platform” alongside transferring and sharing. Continuous sync is the kind of feature that is often tied to a paid tier, but the homepage does not say so explicitly. Treat this as something to verify rather than assume.
Supported platforms (same for either tier)
The platform list is a product-level capability, not a tier differentiator as far as the site shows. SongShift lists support for:
| Category | Services named |
|---|---|
| Major streaming | Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, SoundCloud, Pandora, Qobuz |
| Other music sources | Audiomack, Discogs, Hype Machine, LastFM |
Popular transfers the site highlights include Spotify → Apple Music, Apple Music → Spotify, Spotify → YouTube, YouTube → Spotify, Apple Music → YouTube, Spotify → TIDAL, Spotify → Amazon Music, and Apple Music → TIDAL.
How to decide
- Choose free if you want to move a playlist or a set of songs/albums once or occasionally and are willing to review matches manually. The advertised transfer flow is the same.
- Consider Pro if you need the full feature set — particularly if ongoing playlist sync matters to you — and the $6.99/month starting price fits your budget.
- Before subscribing, open the Pro page and confirm the current feature list and price, since the homepage only states the starting price and the “all features” claim without itemizing them.
A practical test: run one transfer on the free tier first. If the result meets your needs, there is no reason to upgrade; if you find yourself wanting sync or another capability the free tier withholds, the Pro page is the place to confirm what you would be paying for.
