About FretCompare

FretCompare — Compare online guitar lessons. FretCompare compares online guitar lesson platforms by level, style, budget, trial, and refund — so beginners and returning players can pick without wading through hype.

How we compare

Pages are generated from a single data file (data/platforms.json). Facts we have not confirmed on a platform's own site are marked “to verify.” Hands-on testing has not happened yet, so recommendations are labelled as editorial and based on verified facts only.

FTC affiliate disclosure

FretCompare is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links — for example to lesson platforms and gear retailers (links that are not yet active are labelled as placeholders and contain no affiliate ID yet). If you buy through an affiliate link after we are approved for a program, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps pay for hosting and testing. Commissions never change a platform's facts in our database; unverified facts stay marked “to verify” regardless of payout.

Placeholder disclosure status: affiliate applications have not been submitted yet. Update this page with each program's exact terms before any affiliate link goes live.

Newsletter

The signup form on the homepage is a non-functional placeholder. It will connect to an email provider before launch; no addresses are collected, sent, or stored by this MVP.
