Unlike music-only tools, JamShare does the same for Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze links.
Why people are looking for an alternative
Songwhip was acquired by The Orchard and shut down on July 22, 2024. Its servers went offline permanently, so every Songwhip link in old posts, bios and group chats simply stopped working. There was no export tool and no migration path.
Songlink/Odesli is still running and remains a solid music smart-link tool. But it is deliberately narrow: music only, built around link pages rather than the mobile share sheet. If your sharing looks like real life (a song for the drive, then the restaurant address), a music-only tool covers half the job.
Pick by job, not by name
Sharing songs and places with friends: JamShare. One link covers Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud and Pandora, plus Google Maps, Apple Maps and Waze. It's free, with a share extension on iOS and Android.
Artist landing pages and releases: JamArtist, which gives you a free branded page for each release with cross-platform links and analytics. If you specifically need pre-save campaigns, a dedicated marketing platform still covers that.
Moving your own library between accounts: Soundiiz, TuneMyMusic, FreeYourMusic or SongShift. These are transfer tools built for the bulk migration grind.
A public bio page with many links: Linktree or a similar link-in-bio tool.

What makes JamShare different
JamShare is built around the way people actually share from a phone. You share a song or a place from the app you're already in, tap JamShare in the share sheet, and send one link. Recipients open it in whichever app they use. They don't need an account or the app on their end.
It also keeps a history of everything you've shared and lets recipients set a default music and map app, so repeat shares open instantly.
Thousands of Songwhip links died overnight. Pick a replacement that keeps your links.
What the Songwhip shutdown taught everyone
Links die when the service hosting them disappears. It's a fair reason to care about link persistence when you pick a replacement. JamShare stores your shared links so you can find and reuse them later instead of digging through message threads, and your share history stays in your account.
