Price factors
What changes the price of a custom song?
Five things set what it costs to have a song written for you: who makes it, how fast it arrives, its length, the revisions included and the add-ons.
- Who makes it. Studios built around individual artists charge the most: Songfinch artists set their own prices, from $179 up to $1,099. Song Tailor uses AI tools for the lyrics, music and vocals, with a human producer review right after delivery on Premium Keepsake and Event Grade, which keeps a reviewed song at $89.
- Speed. Rush fees at the services we checked run from $10 to $120: Melodfy +$10 for 24 business hours, SongUnique +$49 for 24 hours, Prayer Song +$59, Songlorious +$85 for next day, and Songheart $259 for 24 hours against $139 for 30 days. Song Tailor's Premium Keepsake and Event Grade arrive within an hour, with no rush fee.
- Length. Songlorious charges $200 for 2 minutes and $250 for 3.
- Revisions. SongUnique includes 2 rounds. Song Tailor includes one on Premium Keepsake and unlimited changes for 7 days on Event Grade; Quick Gift has no free revision; add one for $9 before checkout.
- Add-ons. MP3 files, lyric sheets, videos and gift pages are included at some services and extra at others (see hidden costs below).
Checked 2 November 2026
How much does Prayer Song cost?
Prayer Song costs $49 to $99 for a song delivered in 7 days, plus $59 for 24-hour delivery, going by its own pricing data on 2 November 2026.
Prayer Song's site shows no price before its quiz. Its pricing data listed a $49 sale price (from $199) and a $99 catalogue price, and an April 2026 press release says “from $99”. Priority 24-hour delivery is chosen after you buy, so a rushed song costs $108 to $158. Prayer Song says it uses human lyricists with “artificial intelligence assisted music production tools”. Song Tailor's Premium Keepsake ($89, delivered within an hour of approving your lyric) costs $19 to $69 less than Prayer Song's 24-hour option.
Checked 2 November 2026
What do Divine Song and Timeless Song cost?
Divine Song costs $99 for a 2–3-minute song delivered in 7 days, and Timeless Song charges the same $99, as of 2 November 2026.
The two sites run on the same platform, with identical pages, prices and policies. Each offers 24-hour priority delivery, but its price is shown only inside the order quiz. Their FAQ says: “We combine AI-powered music generation with human creativity.” Song Tailor's Premium Keepsake is $89: $10 less than Divine Song's standard song, delivered within an hour of lyric approval instead of 7 days.
Worked example
What does a fast custom song gift actually cost?
For the four orders below, a song delivered within a day costs $89 to $308.95.

| Songlorious, 2 minutes, next day | $200 + $85 | $285 |
| Songheart, 24 hours + MP3 | $259 + $49.95 | $308.95 |
Value
Is a custom song worth the price?
Yes for most people: 68% of the 2,847 US adults we surveyed said their most memorable gift cost under $100, and Quick Gift is $39.
US shoppers budgeted a record $199.78 each on average for Valentine's Day gifts in 2026, and jewelry is the category they spend most on, at $7 billion in total (National Retail Federation, survey of 7,791 adults, January 2026). Quick Gift ($39) and Premium Keepsake ($89) cost a fifth to under half of that.
Our own research also found that 73% of the 2,847 US adults we surveyed believed they needed to spend $150 or more to make a lasting impression. When the gift was described as a custom song with specific memories and inside jokes, 58% of men chose it over a $200 luxury item (Song Tailor, State of Emotional Gifting 2026, 2,847 US adults, 7 April–2 May 2026).
“I ordered the Quick Gift tier because I was on a budget and running late for Mother's Day. I was worried the lower tier would feel rushed or generic — it didn't.”
“My best friend has been with me through everything — my divorce, my career change, the year I lived on her couch.”

Method
How did we check these prices?
We checked each service's own website and its US-dollar prices on 2 November 2026 (Just Our Song on 29 October 2026, through its checkout).
- Found each service's pricing, FAQ, order and refund pages.
- Recorded the entry price, what it buys, the fastest option and add-ons, quoting the service's own words.
- Where a price appeared only in a site's own pricing data rather than on a page (Prayer Song, Smile Tunes), we mark it with an asterisk.
- Left out of the table: Unique Song (no price before its quiz; its 48-hour song was $79 at checkout on 3 November 2026, with a $19 add-on pre-ticked, covered on our Unique Song cost page), and services we couldn't price reliably: MySongly, GigiPanda (its domain is parked), and Fiverr, Etsy and Udio (they blocked our checks).
- Took Song Tailor's prices from the same settings that run our checkout.

Yes. 68% of the 2,847 US adults Song Tailor surveyed in 2026 said their most memorable gift cost under $100, and $100 is about half the $199.78 US shoppers budgeted for Valentine's Day gifts in 2026 (National Retail Federation).
