GroupMatch vs. SquadMatch: how HumMatch helps you find your crew, then build the set list

Singing together starts with a simple problem: either you don't have anyone to sing with yet, or you already have a group and need to figure out what to actually sing.

HumMatch now has a tool for each half of that problem. GroupMatch helps you find your people. SquadMatch helps the people you've already found pick songs everyone can sing. Here's the difference, and how they connect.

GroupMatch: before you have a group

GroupMatch is for the moment before there's a group at all. You're a baritone who wants a soprano for a wedding duet. Your band lost its lead vocalist. You just moved to a new city and want to find other singers nearby.

Opt in with your zip code and voice type (pulled straight from your Vocal ID), and GroupMatch shows you other singers near you, what they're looking for, and lets you send a connection request. Nobody's contact info is shared until both sides say yes.

SquadMatch: once you already have a group

SquadMatch picks up where GroupMatch leaves off. Once you've got your people, whether that's a GroupMatch connection, your actual band, your karaoke crew, or your family in the car, SquadMatch compares everyone's Vocal ID and builds a set list that fits the group instead of just the most confident singer in the room.

That's the difference in one line: GroupMatch finds the people. SquadMatch finds the songs for the people you found.

Karaoke night is where this comes together

Karaoke nights are the clearest example. Maybe you show up alone and use GroupMatch to find a duet partner in the crowd. Maybe you already came with friends and use SquadMatch to figure out what the table can sing together before someone gets stuck with a song that's out of everyone's range.

Karaoke hosts (KJs) are part of this too. HumMatch's affiliate program now lets a KJ claim their own page with their schedule and how to request songs, plus a QR code their crowd can scan. It's a way for local singers to find their regular karaoke night, and for the KJ running it to earn a commission when their crowd joins HumMatch.

One Vocal ID, two ways to use it

Both tools start from the same place: your Vocal ID. Hum three notes once, and that same range and voice type powers song matching, GroupMatch connections, and SquadMatch set lists. Building your voice profile once means every HumMatch tool already knows what fits you.
