Ormilio vs Singlink

Singlink and Ormilio are close cousins. Both put live song words on people's phones. Both let people join by QR code or link, with no app and no account. If you are choosing between them, you are already on the right track. Here is an honest look at both.

What Singlink is

Singlink is a web app for live lyrics. People in the room scan a QR code or tap a link, and the words appear on their phone. They do not need an app or an account. The leader needs to sign in only for rooms that do not expire.

The leader can control it from a phone, and there is a free controller app for iPhone. Singlink has a screen view for the projector and a stage monitor view. Songs can be typed or pasted, brought in from slides, or sent live from ProPresenter.

Singlink is aimed at house churches, small groups, campfire worship, retreats and youth nights. It presents itself as free for churches. It does not come with a built-in song catalog, so you bring your own songs.

What Ormilio is

Ormilio is a simple web app for singing together. The leader picks songs from a small free library of public domain hymns, or pastes in their own words. They put today's songs in order and move forward from a phone, live with a tap, or with a timer set to a number of seconds per line.

Everyone else joins by scanning a QR code, tapping a WhatsApp link or typing a short join number. There is no app to install, no account and no password. The words open on each phone, with bigger letters, dark mode, scroll back and a tap to catch up. The big screen shows the same words full screen, easy to read from the back.

Ormilio is free forever for up to 10 songs and 20 people at once. Ormilio Plus costs $10 a month, paid in your own currency, and removes those limits. It works in any language and any alphabet, and it is made for songs, prayers and readings.

The main differences, in plain words

Honestly, the two are very alike. Both put the words on everyone's phone and on the big screen. Both are led from a phone. Both are free to start and need no app or account for the people joining.

The clearest difference is the songs. Ormilio comes with a small free library of public domain hymns, so a leader can pick a hymn instead of typing it. Singlink has no built-in catalog. You paste or type your songs, bring them in from slides, or send them from ProPresenter.

Singlink also has a few extras worth knowing about. It has a stage monitor view, it can bring songs in from slides, and it can follow ProPresenter live. If your church already runs ProPresenter, that last one may matter a lot.

Pricing works differently too. Singlink presents itself as free for churches. Ormilio is free for up to 10 songs and 20 people at once, and larger groups pay $10 a month for Ormilio Plus.

Which one fits your group?

Singlink may be the better choice if your church uses ProPresenter and you want the phones to follow it, if your team wants a stage monitor view, or if your songs already live in slides.

Ormilio may fit better if you want a free library of public domain hymns ready to use, or if you like joining by WhatsApp link or a short join number. The best way to decide is simple: try both with your group on a normal week and see which one feels easier for everyone.
