What is Chordify
Service overview
Chordify is a music service that automatically extracts chords from songs to help users learn and play music on guitar, piano, ukulele and other instruments.
It is subscription-based and offers free and paid tiers where paid (Premium) tiers unlock additional features and tools.
How people use it
Users upload or link songs, then Chordify analyses audio and displays chord diagrams, transposition and playback features for practice.
Subscriptions are available via the Chordify website, Google Play (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS).

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off and the Consumer Protection Act

Chordify's 14-day money-back guarantee for annual plans exceeds the usual statutory minimum and benefits South African consumers.
Digital services and platform exceptions
- Digital services consumed upon delivery (instant streaming or immediate access) may not always qualify for statutory refunds beyond voluntary guarantees.
- App Store and Google Play purchases are subject to those platforms' separate refund and dispute procedures.
- If you purchase through Apple, follow Apple's process; Chordify can advise but cannot directly issue refunds for App Store purchases.

Documentation checklist
Before contacting support
- Subscription confirmation email or receipt (showing plan, date and amount).
- Payment method and transaction ID (from your bank, Google Play or Apple receipt).
- Platform used to subscribe (Website / Google Play / Apple App Store).
When you contact Chordify
- Include screenshots of subscription details and the cancellation screen if applicable.
- Keep copies of support correspondence and dates for follow-up. Contact: [email protected] (email support is available; no phone support).
Common mistakes
Cancelling in the wrong place
Example: Users sometimes cancel on the Chordify website but subscribed through Google Play or the App Store, so the store subscription remains active and continues to renew.
Always verify the platform that processed the payment and cancel there.
Assuming immediate refunds or access loss
Example: Expecting an instant refund or immediate loss of access after cancellation is common. Refunds depend on the plan and timing; Premium access usually continues until the end of the billing period.
Check Chordify's 14-day annual refund policy and platform-specific rules before escalating.
