Both apps solve the same core problem: getting guitar chords for any song, not just the ones somebody transcribed by hand. The difference is what you see while you play. Art Guitar lays the chords over the song's lyrics, word by word, karaoke-style — so you can sing and play from one screen. The absence of lyrics is among the most frequently mentioned complaints in public Chordify user reviews.
