App comparisons & alternatives
A free alternative for reading scores on iPad
If the blocker is cost, the question is which features sit behind the paywall. StageMate's line is drawn so that everything you need to read and perform from a score is free.
Free tier in full
Blink, nod and head-shake page turning, PDF and image import, auto-crop, automatic title and composer extraction, PencilKit annotation, built-in tuner and metronome.
Paid tier in full
iCloud sync between your devices, band sharing, and unlimited setlists. That is the entire upgrade.
No ads, no trial clock
The free tier is not a countdown and carries no advertising.
Try it on your own scores
Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.
