Is Pianolyze Free? Pricing and What You Get

Jul 20, 2026 · 2 min read

You can try Pianolyze with a short preview of your own recording. Sign in with an email code, upload an MP3, WAV, FLAC, or M4A file, and inspect the first part of the result. You do not need a payment card for the preview.

What the free preview includes

The preview lets you judge how Pianolyze handles your recording. You can inspect the notes in a piano roll, listen to separated instrument parts, slow down playback, and ask a limited number of AI questions. The preview covers only the beginning of one recording; the pricing page shows the current duration and limits.

Paying for full recordings

A Song Pass covers one full recording and a set number of AI questions. Buy one when you have a single piece to explore. A monthly plan gives you a recording and question allowance that resets each month. Check current pricing for the limits and price of each option.

Both options include a piano roll, instrument isolation, playback controls, and MIDI export. Pianolyze does not include a sheet music view. If you need a score, import the exported MIDI into MuseScore or another notation app.

How your recording is processed

Pianolyze uploads your audio over a secure connection and processes it on a server. Choose a local tool if your recording must stay on your device. Our AnthemScore alternatives comparison covers a desktop option.
