Quick answers

How does SongByLink find a song from a link?

SongByLink extracts the audio track from the video, takes a clean 15-second sample, and matches its acoustic fingerprint against a database of over 70 million songs. The service returns the song title, artist, album art, and streaming links in about 10–20 seconds.

How much does it cost?

You get 1 free identification when you sign up. After that, a single $1.90 pack unlocks 10 identifications. Credits never expire and there is no subscription — you pay only when you need more.

Which platforms are supported?

SongByLink supports TikTok (including vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com short links), YouTube and YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook videos and Reels, and X (Twitter) videos.

How is this different from Shazam?

Shazam listens through your microphone, so you need a second device, a quiet room, and a long enough clip. SongByLink reads the actual audio stream from the link — no second device, no background noise problems, and it works on short and sped-up clips where mic-based apps usually fail.

Can it identify songs behind "Original Sound" on TikTok?

Often, yes. "Original Sound" only means the creator uploaded the audio themselves — the music behind it is frequently a published song. Since SongByLink analyzes the real audio stream, it can usually match it. Truly original, unpublished audio cannot be identified by any tool.
