Lyric Studio vs LyricStudio (WaveAI): what's the difference?
Lyric Studio and LyricStudio are two separate products from two unrelated companies. Lyric Studio is a songwriting app for iPhone and iPad made by Bakery Scent Srl in Italy; LyricStudio (one word) is a web-based AI lyric tool made by WaveAI Inc. Pick WaveAI’s LyricStudio if you want an AI co-writer in a browser on any computer or phone; pick Lyric Studio if you want a native iPhone and iPad app that combines lyrics, rhymes, beats and recording.
We make Lyric Studio, the iPhone and iPad app. Because the names are so close, this page sets out the differences. Everything we say about WaveAI’s LyricStudio comes from its own website (lyricstudio.net and wave-ai.net). Where the site doesn’t cover something, the table says “Not stated”.
How to tell them apart
- Lyric Studio (two words) is the app on the App Store from Bakery Scent Srl. This website is its home.
- LyricStudio (one word) lives at lyricstudio.net and is made by WaveAI Inc., which also lists a separate product called MelodyStudio on its company site.
If you’ve seen a review, video or recommendation and aren’t sure which one it means, check the developer name and whether it talks about an app or a website.

Where WaveAI’s LyricStudio is the better choice
It runs in any browser. WaveAI’s FAQ says the web app works across devices, mobile or desktop. If you write on a laptop, on Windows, or on an Android phone, that’s a real advantage, because Lyric Studio is iPhone and iPad only.
AI suggestions are the core of the product. LyricStudio describes itself as an AI lyric generator that runs on a model designed specifically for songwriting. You can pick a genre (its demo shows options such as rap, pop, worship, R&B, country, rock, metal and EDM) or skip that step, enter your own topics, and get line suggestions that it says adapt to your style.
Fine control over the suggestions. Its FAQ describes a “wackiness” slider that controls how adventurous suggestions are, and you can highlight specific lines to steer what the generator works from. The Gold plan adds lyric completion, where you give the start of a line and it finishes it.
Chords and a thesaurus next to the lyrics. The editor shown on its homepage includes a rhyme panel, a thesaurus, a verse generator and chord names above the lyric lines, which suits writers who sketch chords while they write.
No card needed to try it. WaveAI’s FAQ says the free trial doesn’t require a credit card and doesn’t expire, though the number of generations is limited.
Where Lyric Studio is the better choice
A native iPhone and iPad app. If your phone is where ideas land, Lyric Studio opens straight into a lyric notepad with folders. Songs are backed up in your own iCloud and sync between iPhone and iPad (iOS 17+), with no account to create.
Writing help that isn’t only AI. Long-press any word for perfect, multisyllabic and slant rhymes with syllable counts from a 130K+ word dictionary. Every line shows its syllable count and rhyme letter, rhyming words are underlined, and Lyric Coach notes flag clichés, repeated words and uneven lines. You can see your rhyme scheme without asking an AI for anything.
AI when you want it. AI autocomplete suggests a next line in your style. AI rewrite can keep the same syllables, rhyme with the line above, make a line less cliché or add imagery. The AI lyric generator drafts from a topic, mood and genre.
Beats and recording built in. Lyric Studio has a library of 100+ beats, an AI beat generator and a recorder for vocals over the beat, so you can test a verse against music without leaving the app. WaveAI’s LyricStudio site doesn’t mention beats or recording.
Co-writing with live changes. Invite people by Messages, Mail or link, choose edit or view-only, see who is writing, and live changes are merged line by line. When a song is done, share it to Instagram, TikTok or WhatsApp.
More lyric languages. Lyric Studio analyses lyrics in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and German (the interface is in English). WaveAI’s FAQ says LyricStudio doesn’t have a Spanish version at the moment.
