A free Singing Carrots alternative

The swap, feature by feature

These are the free tools people actually use over there, and where each one lands here:

• Vocal range test → the Vocalify range test. Sing low to high, get the span in note names and semitones plus an estimated voice type. Runs on the page, no sign-up.
• Pitch accuracy test → two tools, because it's really two skills. The pitch discrimination test measures what you can hear as a threshold in cents; the live tuner shows what you actually sing. Knowing which of the two is your limit changes what you should practise.
• Pitch training game → the app's scored drills: scales, sustained notes, sirens and interval work, each with a target and an average error in cents at the end. Not gamified, but the number moves and it's comparable week to week.
• Practising with songs → the melody editor. There's no licensed song catalogue; you enter or import the melody you want, attach any audio as a backing track, and practise a phrase on loop. More work up front, and unlimited in what you can practise.

Where the two genuinely differ

Singing Carrots is built around a curriculum and a song database: it wants to tell you what to do next and hand you repertoire that fits your range. That's real work, it's the reason the subscription exists, and if being led is what you want, switching to a tool that doesn't lead you will feel like a downgrade regardless of price.

Vocalify is built around measurement: live pitch drawn against the target, scoring in cents, and a history that shows whether last month's practice changed anything. It assumes you'll bring the plan — or follow one of the guides, which is free too, just not personalised.

Put crudely: if your sentence ends "…and I don't know what to practise", the course is worth paying for. If it ends "…and I just want to see whether I'm flat", you're paying for something you won't use.

Switching without losing the thread

No singing app exports to another, so the practical migration is three numbers, written down before you leave:

1. Your range, as two note names — the thing every exercise gets pitched against.
2. Your pitch accuracy, however the old app expressed it. It won't be directly comparable to a new app's scale, but it tells you whether the first week somewhere else is a real drop or just a different yardstick.
3. What you were working on — a register break, a specific song's chorus, the top three notes. Continuity of goal matters more than continuity of software.

Then re-measure on day one somewhere new and treat that as the baseline. Fifteen minutes, and you keep the only part of the history that was load-bearing.

What "free" covers here

So you can compare like with like: every exercise, live pitch feedback scored in cents, the melody editor, backing tracks, recordings, history and analytics, and cross-device sync once you have an account — free, no card, no expiry. Vocalify Pro adds exactly two server-side things: splitting a backing track into accompaniment and vocals, and saving more than five melodies. Feedback is never metered, which is the whole point of the comparison.

Frequently asked

Is there a completely free singing app with a range test?

Yes — the range test on this site needs no account, no install and no card, and neither do the other two tools.

Do I have to install anything?

No. Everything runs in the browser on desktop and phone. See a free singing app with no sign-up for what that changes in practice.

What about other paid singing apps?

Free alternatives to paid singing apps covers the wider question — what's gated in the popular options, and the one feature to check before any other.
