How each one creates lyric times

LyricTimestamps aligns the exact words you supply to your recording. You then review line boundaries and individual word times, listen back, and export. Supplying the lyrics means the words in the file are your words, not a transcription.

LyricTime's FAQ describes AI that listens to the song and detects when each word is sung. Pasting your lyrics gives the best word-level result; an MP3 on its own means the AI also guesses the words, so it says to expect more editing.

What a minute of audio costs

At the prices each site published on November 5, 2026, LyricTimestamps Pro works out to about 1 cent per audio minute ($3.99 for 400). LyricTime's monthly plans work out to about 5 to 5.6 cents per minute ($9 for 180, $5 for 90). One-time packs suit occasional use because they do not expire.

Which one fits your song

  • Choose LyricTimestamps for a free monthly allowance, more minutes for the price, WAV, FLAC or video uploads, longer files, or enhanced LRC and JSON downloads.
  • Choose LyricTime if you want its Video Studio presets and footage overlays, or prefer minutes that never expire over a monthly plan.
  • Either way, try the same short excerpt in both, then open the downloaded file in the player or editor you actually use.
