PitchTest review (2026)
PitchTest is one of the best-engineered free range checkers on the web — 30 seconds, no signup, nothing recorded, and it only counts notes you can actually hold, which keeps one lucky squeak from inflating your result. What you get is an honest number. What you do not get is any idea what to do with it. Use it happily; just do not mistake a measurement for a plan.
What PitchTest is
PitchTest (pitchtest.app) is a free browser tool from the maker of an ear-training app. You sing your lowest note, then your highest, and it returns your range in note names (like G2–E4), the span in octaves and semitones, and the closest of six classical voice types on a keyboard diagram. Everything runs locally in your browser — the site states plainly that your voice is never recorded, stored, or uploaded, and there is no account to create.
What it does well
The detection design is genuinely rigorous. A note only registers once you hold it steadily for about two seconds, which filters out croaks, squeaks and octave-detection glitches — a real problem on lazier range tools. Nothing plays while you sing, so you do not need headphones. And the results page is honest in a way I respect: it tells you outright that voice type depends on more than range, and to treat the label as “a friendly estimate, not a classification by a vocal coach.” That is exactly right.
Where it stops
PitchTest measures; it does not coach. There are no exercises attached to your result, no guidance on whether your range is compressed by disuse (very common in returning singers), and no way to tell whether that top note was comfortable or a strain. The site’s other tools point toward ear training, which is useful but different work. If your range came back smaller than you remember it being years ago, the number cannot tell you the most important thing: most of that gap is usually recoverable.
How it compares

| PitchTest | ~30 sec | Mic only | Range, octaves, closest voice type | Ear-training tools on the same site |
| VocalCheck | ~30 sec | Mic or tap-the-piano | Voice type, octaves, famous-singer match | Shareable result card |
| Singing Carrots | ~1 min | Mic | Range + song database filtered to it | Separate pitch tools and courses |
| Vocal Refresh | ~2 min | Mic or by-ear (no mic needed) | Range, voice type, famous-singer match | A daily rebuild plan built around your result |

Frequently asked questions
Is PitchTest free?
Yes. The range checker and the site’s ear-training tools are free in the browser, with no signup and no account.
Does PitchTest record my voice?
No. The analysis runs locally on your device; the site states your voice is never recorded, stored, or uploaded.
Is a 30-second range result accurate?
As a snapshot, yes — the hold-the-note requirement makes it more trustworthy than most quick tests. But an unwarmed voice typically measures several semitones short of what it can really do, so treat any quick reading as your floor, not your ceiling.
Find out what your voice can actually do today.
Two minutes, free, nothing recorded — your range in real note names, your voice type, and the famous singer whose range matches yours. Then, unlike a number on a screen, a plan for what to do with it.
