Songwhip was a free tool that turned one streaming link into a page with buttons for every service. Its public site now redirects to a sign-in that points to The Orchard, and other smart link companies describe it as shut down. We could not find an official closure notice, so here are free replacements without a date.
We build Stage, one of the options below, so we have been careful to say only what we could check.
What we know about Songwhip's status
- On 10 October 2026, opening songwhip.com sent us to a sign-in page that connects to The Orchard's workstation, not to the old public link page.
- We searched for an official shutdown announcement and found none, so we do not give a closure date.
- Copythistune describes itself in its llms.txt as a free drop-in replacement for the shut-down Songwhip, and Feature.fm published a Songwhip alternative post in July 2024.
If you still have Songwhip links in your bio or on old posts, test them. If they do not open a page, replace them. There is no import; you recreate each page.
What to look for in a replacement
- Free to start, and clear about what the free plan limits.
- Finds your release on every store from one pasted link.
- You own the page and its email list.
- A link that stays the same when your distributor or store links change.

Moving your old links
There is no way to import a Songwhip page. In Stage you paste one Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer link and the builder finds the release on the other services, so a page takes a few minutes. Then update your bios and the links in your profiles. See the smart link generator page.
