What AnthemScore Is, and What It Costs in 2026
AnthemScore, music transcription software from Lunaverus, turns audio into sheet music with machine learning. The desktop app runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and is a one-time purchase: Lite costs $29 and saves sheet music as PDF, Professional costs $39 and adds MIDI, MusicXML and note editing, and Studio costs $99 and adds batch processing (editions page). The desktop trial converts the first 30 seconds of each song. AnthemScore Web works in a browser, gives free 30 second transcriptions and sells full songs by subscription (web pricing). Prices as of November 2026, in US dollars.

Where ToMIDI Differs from AnthemScore
In short: full songs in a browser tab at no cost, with MIDI and MusicXML included. Here is what that means if you are used to AnthemScore.
Full songs at no cost
The AnthemScore trial and its free web tier both stop at 30 seconds. ToMIDI converts the first 10 minutes of any file up to 300 MB, free, every time.
MIDI and MusicXML included
On the AnthemScore desktop, MIDI and MusicXML start with Professional at $39. Here every export is free: MIDI quantized or as played, MusicXML, PNG, SVG and a PDF through print.
Nothing to install or activate
No installer and no activation key. Open the page on any computer with a modern browser, a borrowed laptop or a school machine included, and convert.
Your audio stays on your device
The conversion runs inside your browser tab and the file is never uploaded. In fairness, the AnthemScore desktop app also works offline once it is activated.
The fixes in one panel
Quantize, snap to key, halve or double the tempo, tap the beat and set the time signature, then hear each change straight away.
Instrument presets with no rerun
Piano, Voice, Guitar, Bass and Solo melody presets reread the notes instantly, without running the model again.
When AnthemScore Is the Better Choice
Fair is fair: pick AnthemScore when one of these matters more to you than price.
A desktop app that works offline
Once activated, AnthemScore runs without an internet connection, and one key covers up to four computers (per its purchase page).
A full score editor
Professional edits notes, measures, key and time signatures and tempo per measure, and slows playback without changing pitch. ToMIDI offers note edits with undo, not a notation editor.
Drums or tablature
AnthemScore detects percussion and can lay a part out as tablature. ToMIDI hears pitched notes only and writes standard notation.
Converting in bulk
AnthemScore Studio ($99) batch-processes many audio files. ToMIDI converts one file at a time.
How to Use ToMIDI as Your AnthemScore Alternative
If you know AnthemScore the flow will feel familiar: audio in, notes checked, score out.
The same files you would open in AnthemScore: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG or AAC, or the soundtrack of an MP4 or WEBM video. You can also record up to a minute from the microphone.
Choose Piano for a grand staff, or Voice, Guitar, Bass or Solo melody for a single staff. Presets switch instantly.
Play the notes against the original, drop the uncertain ones, quantize, and correct the key or tempo if needed.
Download MIDI or MusicXML (a Professional feature in AnthemScore) for MuseScore, Sibelius or Dorico, export PNG or SVG, or print the score to PDF.

AnthemScore Features, and How ToMIDI Handles Each
The four jobs people most often buy AnthemScore for, and how this AnthemScore alternative handles them.
MP3 to sheet music, full length
Most people who look up AnthemScore MP3 to sheet music want one thing: a score from a recording. Drop the MP3 above and the notes appear as a piano roll and an engraved score, with the Piano preset giving a grand staff. For other instruments and print layouts, see audio to sheet music.
Convert an MP3Note editing with undo
Click a note to hear it, drag to move it, drag its end to resize it, double-click to add one and delete what does not belong; every step can be undone. A note selected in the score is selected in the piano roll too. Measure-level work, like articulations, belongs in a notation app or the MIDI editor.
Edit Some NotesTempo, key and time signature
AnthemScore Professional changes these per measure. ToMIDI detects one tempo, key and time signature for the whole file, then lets you change them, halve or double the tempo, tap the beat, move bar 1 a beat earlier or later and snap stray notes into the key. For a quick answer without converting, try the key finder.
Fix Tempo and KeyExports that open anywhere
MIDI, quantized or as played, with tempo, key and time signature written in; MusicXML for MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico; PNG and SVG of the score; and a PDF through the print dialog. No watermark on any of them, and no edition to upgrade to.

What you are looking at

ToMIDI converts up to the first 10 minutes of every file, free, with every export included.

Who Picks an AnthemScore Alternative
People who need the notes, not another licence to manage.

Piano learners
Turn a recording into a grand staff score with the song to piano setup, check it by ear and print it.
Occasional users
Transcribing a few songs a year? A free browser tool can be enough, before you buy software or a yearly plan.
AnthemScore Alternative Questions, Answered
Prices and limits as of November 2026, taken from lunaverus.com.
What is the best free AnthemScore alternative?
For full songs at no cost, ToMIDI: it runs in your browser, converts the first 10 minutes of any file and exports MIDI, MusicXML, PNG and SVG free. If you only need raw MIDI, Spotify's Basic Pitch demo is free too. If you need percussion, tablature or batch work, AnthemScore itself is the stronger pick.
Is AnthemScore free?
Not fully. The desktop trial converts the first 30 seconds of each song, up to 100 transcriptions, and AnthemScore Web gives free 30 second clips plus a 14 day full-length trial. Full songs need Lite ($29), Professional ($39), Studio ($99) or a web plan.
Is there an Anthem Score free version online?
Yes, with limits. AnthemScore Web, Lunaverus's browser version, gives free 30 second transcriptions; full songs need Plus ($99.90 a year) or Pro ($299.90 a year). ToMIDI is an online AnthemScore alternative that converts up to 10 minutes per file with no account.
Is Anthem Score the same as AnthemScore?
Yes. Anthem Score is a common way to write AnthemScore, the transcription app from Lunaverus; the official name is one word. Both searches lead to the same desktop app and AnthemScore Web.
How much does AnthemScore cost?
Desktop: Lite $29, Professional $39 and Studio $99, each a one-time purchase with a year of updates (lifetime updates with Studio). Web: Plus is $99.90 a year for 30 songs a month up to 6 minutes, and Pro is $299.90 a year for 100 songs a month up to 10 minutes, with the desktop app included.
Is AnthemScore worth it?
If you transcribe often and want a desktop score editor that works offline, Professional at $39 is a fair one-time price. If you mainly need the notes as MIDI or MusicXML, or convert a few songs a year, a free AnthemScore alternative like ToMIDI covers it without a purchase.
Which AnthemScore edition exports MIDI and MusicXML?
Professional and Studio. Lite saves sheet music as PDF only, and AnthemScore Web exports PDF, MIDI and MusicXML on its paid plans. In ToMIDI, MIDI and MusicXML are free for every file.
Is ToMIDI as accurate as AnthemScore?
We have not run a side by side test, so we make no claim either way. ToMIDI uses Spotify's Basic Pitch; AnthemScore uses its own machine learning model. Both do best on one clear instrument and both find dense mixes hard. The fairest test is your own file: try it here, then in the AnthemScore trial.
Can AnthemScore convert MP3 to sheet music?
Yes, in every edition; that is its main job. The difference is what you can take away: Lite saves a PDF, Professional adds MIDI and MusicXML. ToMIDI turns an MP3 into a score and a MIDI file free, in the browser.
Does AnthemScore work on Mac and Linux?
Yes. The desktop app supports Windows, Mac and Linux, and AnthemScore Web runs in any browser, phones included. ToMIDI also runs in a browser on any system, with nothing to install.
Does ToMIDI transcribe drums like AnthemScore?
No. It hears pitched notes only, so drum hits come out as random notes. AnthemScore detects percussion, so for drum parts it is the better tool.
Can I open the files in MuseScore or Sibelius?
Yes. Export MusicXML and open it in MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale or Dorico, or import the .mid into any DAW. For more control over a printed page from MIDI, use MIDI to sheet music.
Do I need to install anything or make an account?
No. ToMIDI is a web page: no installer, no activation key and no sign-in. The note model, about 1 MB, downloads the first time you convert.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. Decoding, note detection and export happen in your browser, and the file stays on your device.
What engine does ToMIDI use?
Basic Pitch, Spotify's open-source transcription model, the same one behind our free audio to MIDI converter. The Basic Pitch page compares ToMIDI with Spotify's own demo.
