Beginner is free right now and includes the full feature set during the beta. Presign for a paid tier before October 1, 2026 and you won't be charged until that date, the day we launch. Pricing doesn't change after launch — presigning just defers your first charge.

* Beginner's extra features and higher limits are a beta bonus, live through September 30, 2026. After that, new and existing free accounts return to Beginner's normal 500 credits/month, 25/10 cr costs, and 10 saved songs — presigning for a paid tier before October 1 is the only way to keep the higher limits and unlock these features permanently.
A few things worth knowing
No trial — free is free
There's no countdown and no card required for a free account. As a beta bonus it currently includes everything through September 30, 2026 — see the note under the table above for what changes after.
What about credits?
Credits meter usage in the background. Free accounts get a generous 10,000/month during the beta; paid tiers get their own higher allowance on top of that, plus one-time top-ups if you ever need more.
Download limits
"Downloads" are analyses and progressions you've saved to your account so they're there next time, on any device. Free accounts get the highest limit as a beta bonus; paid tiers keep their own limit for life.
What happens on October 1, 2026?
That's launch day, and the first time anyone who presigned during the beta is actually charged. New free signups return to Beginner's normal limits, and new paid signups pay full price and are billed right away.
Frequently asked questions
What's a credit?
Credits are Melody Monkey's usage currency — metered actions like personal music teacher messages, song analysis, and stem separation each cost a set number. Free accounts get 10,000 credits/month during the beta, well above normal use.
Is there a free trial?
No, and you don't need one. A free account already includes the personal music teacher, full chord analysis, and stem separation as a beta bonus, with no card required.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No. Creating a free account and using the features it currently includes during the beta never requires a card. A card is only needed if you choose to subscribe to a paid tier.
What happens if I run out of credits?
It's unlikely — free accounts get 10,000 credits/month during the beta, far above normal use. Credits refill automatically at the start of each month, or you can subscribe to a paid tier for a higher permanent allowance.
When will I actually be charged?
Not until October 1, 2026, the day we launch. Presigning during the beta reserves your plan and price, but your card isn't charged until launch day, whichever tier you choose.
Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?
Yes — subscriptions can be upgraded, downgraded, or cancelled anytime from the billing portal in your account.
Do unused credits roll over?
Your monthly allowance resets at the start of each month and does not carry over. Purchased credit top-ups are separate and never expire.
