Why people search for an OnSong alternative
1) Android and mixed-device bands
OnSong runs on Apple devices only. Real bands mix iPhone and Android, and often rehearse off a Windows laptop. BandBinder is the same app on all five platforms, so your band keeps one shared library without telling anyone to buy a specific brand of phone.
2) One plan per band, not one bill per person
A five-piece band on OnSong pays 5 x $29.99/year on individual Essentials ($149.95/yr), or 5 x $48/year on the group Premium plan ($240/yr). Either way it's per-member math, and it grows every time someone joins. BandBinder is priced per band, and members join free by code.
If you bought OnSong back when it was a one-time purchase, this is familiar ground: the move to subscriptions is a running theme in OnSong's public App Store reviews.

Three steps, one afternoon
Step 1: Export your songs from OnSong
In OnSong, select the songs you want to move - Select All does the whole library - and export them as ChordPro or OnSong files to a folder you can reach: Files, Drive, or Dropbox all work. Don't convert anything first. BandBinder reads OnSong's own file format directly, as well as ChordPro.
Step 2: Import the whole folder at once
In BandBinder's Songs list, choose Import folder of songs... and point it at your export folder. It reads OnSong files natively alongside ChordPro, plain text, and PDF, flags anything already in your library so you don't get duplicates, and imports everything you leave checked in one action.

Step 3: Share with the band
Invite members with a band code and keep one agreed arrangement for everyone. See how it works for worship teams and cover bands, or read the ChordPro docs hub. Coming from Songbook Pro instead, or as well? There's a separate comparison for that.
