Does Bandpit have a tab library like Ultimate Guitar?

No. Ultimate Guitar is a library of user-submitted tabs for learning songs. Bandpit is where you keep your band's own charts, so the two work well side by side.

Can the whole band read from the same charts live?

Yes. The songbook belongs to the band, and a live session scrolls everyone's phone in tempo at once, which a personal tab app doesn't do.

Is Bandpit cheaper for a band?

Bandpit Pro is one price for the whole band (€4.99/mo or €39.90 once), rather than a subscription per member, and there's a free tier to start.

A library, or your songbook

Ultimate Guitar is brilliant when you want to learn a cover: someone has almost certainly tabbed it out already. Bandpit isn't a library of other people's songs. It's where your band keeps the versions you actually play, in your keys, ready for the next rehearsal or gig.

Built for the band on stage

Ultimate Guitar's scroll runs on one person's device. Bandpit starts a live session that scrolls every member's phone in tempo, together, and the conductor can jump everyone to a section at once. That shared, synced stage view is the part a tab library doesn't do.

More than a chord sheet

Because your songbook, setlists and live-play sit in one place, your band also gets a public page, gig listings that show up in the directory, and share-ready posters from your own photos. It's the difference between looking a song up and running your band.

The short version

Use Ultimate Guitar to learn a cover from its library. Use Bandpit for your band's own set: your arrangements, your setlists, played live in sync, with a page and gigs on top. It's free to start.
