Hi everyone. Minsu here.
We recently shared a notice regarding our service termination schedule.
You can find the original announcement below:
However, due to a change in Musixmatch’s pricing policy on August 4th (GMT+9), there has been a change in our plans.
❓ Why?
On August 4th (GMT+9), we had a discussion with the Musixmatch sales team. After reviewing our use case, they decided not to apply the upcoming pricing change to us — effective through August 25th.
Thanks to this decision, we’re able to continue operating the service for now.
That said, in addition to the Musixmatch API cost, we still face server operation fees and the Apple Developer Program fee, making it difficult to keep the service running as a non-profit project.
To ensure sustainable service, we will be making the following changes.

(Subject to change)
Since Musixmatch’s decision only applies to us, theBYOK (Bring-Your-Own-Key)feature — which was in beta — will bediscontinuedsoon.In preparation for potential instability or deprecation of Spotify to MxM support, we will add support for the Spotify API.
We are considering changing the service domain (currently supported by the LUNAIZ Team) and migrating it to Oracle Cloud’s free tier.
(Subject to change) In a future service renewal, we plan to add rate limits to all queries.
For example, we may limit the number of queries to 10 per 10 minutes.
However, if Musixmatch agrees to monetize our service through in-service advertising, we are considering allowing users to lift the speed limit by watching ads or funding.
