Songwhip vs NotNoise Today
Why Songwhip Users Need to Act Now
Every Songwhip link you ever created is broken. Here's what happened and what you need to do about it.
Every Link Returns 404
Every Songwhip link ever created is permanently broken. Fans clicking your old URLs see a 404 error page. Every bio link, every ad campaign, every press kit, every email signature, every printed QR code that pointed to Songwhip is now sending fans to a dead page. There is no redirect. There is no fallback. The damage is ongoing every single day you don't replace them.
Zero Migration Path
Sony Music acquired Songwhip and converted it into an internal tool for The Orchard's labels. No migration tools were offered to existing users. No data export. No URL forwarding. No advance notice that would have let artists prepare. songwhip.com now redirects to The Orchard's login page. If you weren't a Sony artist, you were simply abandoned.
Solo Developer, Single Point of Failure
Songwhip was built and maintained by a single developer, Wilson Page (ex-Mozilla). While the product was excellent, a one-person operation is inherently fragile. When Sony came knocking, there was no team, no board, no community to argue for keeping the public product alive. The entire platform's fate rested on one person's decision. NotNoise is built by a team committed to independent musicians.
14-Day Analytics Were Never Enough
Songwhip's free tier only retained analytics for 14 days. Even the paid plans had limited historical data. For musicians running campaigns that span weeks or months, this meant losing visibility into long-term trends. You couldn't see which links performed best over time or track the full lifecycle of a release. NotNoise provides unlimited analytics history on every plan.

Artists Who Rebuilt After Songwhip
Real stories from musicians dealing with broken links and finding a permanent home.
“I was mid-campaign when Songwhip went down. I had just spent $300 on Instagram ads driving traffic to my Songwhip link. Overnight, every ad was pointing to a 404 page. I didn't even know what happened until I checked the link myself three days later. Three days of wasted ad spend, hundreds of fans hitting a dead page. NotNoise gave me a working link in five minutes, and I know it's not going to disappear because a major label decided to acquire the tool.”

Links broke mid-campaign
“I loved Songwhip. It was the cleanest, simplest smart link tool out there. No login required, beautiful pages, fast. But it had no email capture, basic pre-saves, and only 14 days of analytics on free. I always knew I'd outgrow it. I just didn't expect it to disappear entirely. NotNoise has that same clean simplicity but with actual marketing tools underneath. It's what Songwhip could have been if it had a team behind it.”

Outgrew Songwhip before it shut down
“I manage 12 artists. When Songwhip shut down, we had broken links across every single artist's profile, press kit, social bios, and old email campaigns. That's over 150 dead URLs. No redirect, no forwarding, nothing. We spent an entire weekend migrating everything to NotNoise. The silver lining is we now have email capture, real analytics, and playlist pitching that we never had before. But the disruption was brutal and completely unnecessary.”
