Pricing questions
Good to know before you buy
Is Chordio a subscription?
No. Chordio is free to download, and the full unlock is a single one-time purchase of $14.99.
There are no recurring charges and no renewals — you pay once and keep the app.
Do I have to pay for each device?
No. When you buy the full unlock on iPad or macOS, you get the other platform for free —
including Apple Vision Pro. The iPhone version of the app is purchased separately.
Do I need to buy content packs?
Not at all. Content packs are completely optional. The full unlock gives you the whole app,
and you can add Chord Packs, Sheet Music Packs or Lesson Packs later as individual in-app
purchases (from $2.99) whenever you want more content.
Start free, unlock when you're ready.
