What you know before you pay
The Melody of Us quiz starts with "my husband, my wife, my boyfriend, my girlfriend". You pick the genre, mood and a male or female voice, pay, and the song arrives in about 72 hours, or 24 hours with the rush option. You hear it when it lands. A couple of recent reviewers mention being charged for express delivery they had not chosen, which the company corrected.
At Unique Song the order is reversed. You answer a few questions about them, and before anything is charged you hear 90 seconds of their actual song: a full verse and the chorus. Their name, the memory you gave us, the voice, the style. It is enough to know whether this is the song you want to hand them. Most people who listen to the preview already know; what is left afterwards is fine-tuning, not guessing.
That is the whole reason the preview is 90 seconds and not a clip. A clip tells you what a service sounds like. Ninety seconds tells you what your song sounds like.
How each song is made
Melody of Us says it writes and records each song with professional artists, and shows studio photographs on its homepage. The process is not described further. The homepage also carries a block of testimonials styled as a social-media comment thread.
Unique Song songs go through a proprietary multi-stage conception and production process. We do not publish the details, because the process is what sets the songs apart. What we can say is what you receive: a wide choice of genres, moods and voices, so the song sounds like them and not like a template, with the option to hear it in a new style later from your song page; a quality team that reviews every song before it reaches your inbox; and the ability to correct a name, a place or a pronunciation from your own song page without writing an email.
What customers say
Both services have five-star reviews that say the same thing: somebody cried. Where the two profiles differ is in how the reviews got there and what happens when something goes wrong.
Melody of Us has 286 Trustpilot reviews, not invited, with replies to half of the negative ones. Reviewers are mostly in the UK and praise the communication and the quality of the vocals.
Unique Song's profile carries Trustpilot's "no recent history of asking for reviews" label: all 3,699 reviews were left by customers on their own, 3,696 of them in the last twelve months, and every negative review gets a reply.
