The foot pedals are a real pain. Airturn are the market leaders, but the PED etc seem flimsy for the price. The iRig BlueBoard looks like a better made option but still not up to basic guitar pedal standard.
i was lucky to investigate this a couple of years ago and made 4 DIY pedals using the adafruit EZ-Keys Bluetooth board. Those boards are currently unavailable though an updated version is under development.
I also had success with a Flic button for my daughter (drummer), you could stick one of this on a scratch plate, it worked with Onsong.
Last Sunday, my main singer was singing a solo piece with a huge amount of emotional resonance for her and her family. Cue a little slip up, going verse 1, verse 2, verse 3 instead of verse 1 verse 2, chorus, verse 3. A quick foot tap and we were fine, auto scroll would have been more tricky.
There are lots of ways to use Onsong, you can also control scroll and auto scroll speed via MIDI.
Thomann have this which looks pretty good value for money (no idea of quality, but it's probably not great for this money) https://www.thomann.de/gb/strich_music_bt_fp2.htm
If you want something a bit more substantial the Airturn Stomp 6 is probably the way to go. if this thing existed when I bought my BlueBoard, I'd have got this instead. - https://www.thomann.de/gb/airturn_stomp_6.htm
I think it's very similar to OnSong (although I've not used that). One feature that I'm just starting to use is the SongSheet Remote app which goes on your phone. It basically keeps your phone on a black screen but a single tap goes to the next part of the song or a double tap goes back one - it's designed to be touched, but possible a bare foot would work too! I'm using it at an event at church this weekend and my plan is to get one of the singers to be in charge of tapping the phone app to move the music, as it just shifts the focus of the music screen to the next verse, you can still see it even if they miss their cue.
Interesting but as much as I trust my singers, I'd want to be able to move between songs myself.
There is an Andoid App called Opensong which seems to be a similar thing to Onsong
