Choose by workflow, not by a giant feature count
What performers commonly compare in a musician songbook app.
OnSong is a separate product with a broad feature catalog including libraries, sets, autoscroll, pedals, external video, and advanced integrations. gigPrompter uses its own performance-centered workflow designed around editable songs, setlists, transposition, prompting, and stage output.
Setlists and requests
Build sets, reorder intentionally, use Play Now for a request, or Play From Here when the show changes.
Transpose and number-system tools
Transpose conventional/slash chords and use the Nashville-number conversion engine.
Stage + band display
Use smooth iPhone/iPad prompting, synchronize up to six nearby receive-only Band Members, or send lyrics-only HDMI/AirPlay output with image/slideshow backgrounds.
Import workflow
Import text, ChordPro-style material, text PDFs, or scanned PDFs with on-device OCR and review.
Musician-first control
gigPrompter keeps songs, setlists, smooth scrolling, transposition, tempo, programmable pedals, Band Members, and external stage output in one performance-centered workflow.
