Our Tune vs BeatJar: which should you pick?
Pick BeatJar if you want a shown price, every lyric and the first 45 seconds of your song before you pay. Pick Our Tune if a short guided form and a private listening link are enough. BeatJar costs US$37.95, and checkout comes after the preview. Irish firm Blueboard Limited runs Our Tune, and its eight form steps show no price, so we state none. Per its terms, sales turn final once work starts, and one rewrite is free. For real errors, BeatJar offers a refund or remake within 48 hours of delivery, and revisions stay free after delivery. On Trustpilot, Our Tune holds a strong 4.9 from 234 reviews. BeatJar includes the MP3 in the price. Both services deliver within about a day.

How does Our Tune work?
Three steps top the homepage: tell Our Tune who the song is for, wait while it composes, then enjoy the result in your inbox within 24 hours. Eight steps make up the order form. You enter the recipient, their name and the occasion. Next you pick a genre (nine styles plus "Surprise Me") and a singer voice. Three free-text boxes, up to 1,000 characters each, hold your story. A summary, an email field and a "Create My Song" button close the form. We walked it on 18 October 2026 and stopped at the email field, and no price appeared on any screen. Stripe handles payments, and the song arrives as a private listening link.
What Our Tune's own pages say
Quoted from their pages on 18 October 2026.
Price
"Prices are in Great British Pounds (GBP) and are subject to change with notice."
What it means: The terms name the currency but no amount, and prices can change.
Refunds
"No Refunds: Due to the personalized and digital nature of the service, all sales are final once the generation process has started."
What it means: Once work starts, you cannot get your money back.
Rewrites
"Goodwill Rewrite: We offer one (1) free rewrite per song as a gesture of goodwill if you are not satisfied with the initial Output."

AI disclosure
"Songs are generated primarily through automated AI systems and are delivered without comprehensive manual pre-publication review."
What it means: Their own terms say automated AI systems make most of each song.
Who makes an Our Tune song?
Three stories appear across the pages. Musicians write the lyrics and record a professional track, says the homepage. The FAQ says the team uses "select AI-assisted technology". Going further, the terms name third-party AI platforms. Read all three before you order.
What happens when you order from BeatJar?
You type the story. We write the lyrics and show them to you, and we play you the first 45 seconds of your song before you pay anything. You can change any lyric line before we record the song. When it is right you pay from US$37.95 and the MP3 is included: download it, share it with family, play it at the party. Revisions stay free after delivery, and you pick the delivery window at checkout. 30,800+ songs have gone out this way, and they carry 4.9 on Trustpilot from 1,050+ reviews.

On 18 October 2026, Trustpilot showed only 3 English reviews of Our Tune at three stars or below, out of 234. We paraphrase all 3 below. With a sample this small, read the counts as "3 of 3", not as a rate. The other reviews, 97% five-star, praise speed and say the song made someone cry.
3 of 3 read
The free redo did not fix it: the music changed when the lyrics should have, or the style and vocals stayed off.
At BeatJar: you read every lyric before the song is recorded, and you can change any line first.
2 of 3
The vocals or the words were hard to make out.
At BeatJar: you hear the first 45 seconds of your real song, with real vocals, before paying.
2 of 3
The song left out or changed personal details.
At BeatJar: the lyrics appear word for word, so you can see your details are in before you pay.

What does Our Tune do better?
Fairly stated, Our Tune earns a 4.9 Trustpilot rating from 234 reviews. Of those, 231 came in the last 12 months, and 97% give five stars. A short, guided form leads you through nine genres plus "Surprise Me" and a Duet voice option. Songs land by email as a private link that works on any device, with no app. Its privacy policy uses GDPR language, and the terms name Blueboard Limited of Ireland. Plain wording covers AI use in the terms. For unhappy Trustpilot reviews, Our Tune replied with a template pointing to [email protected]. A free rewrite comes with every song, which not every rival offers. Before you start, the site also plays a sample song with synced lyrics.
What should you check before ordering from either?
- Look for the price before you give an email. Our Tune showed none across the eight form steps, so find out what it is before you pay.
- Find out what a rewrite can change. Their terms give you one, and reviewers say a rewrite changed the wrong thing.
- Compare the refund rules. Our Tune makes sales final once work starts; with BeatJar you hear the start of your song first.
- Watch the spelling in ads. Ads for Our Tune sometimes point to ourtun.com, without the "e". Confirm the address before you type your email.
