AudD vs Shazam

AudD identifies music in audio files, user-generated content, microphone recordings, streams, and video through web, API, and extension access. Results can include artist, title, album, label, release date, and identifiers such as ISRC and UPC; the listed capabilities also include lyrics, listening links, and identification history. AudD says its database contains 160 million songs and uses its own neural-network audio fingerprinting technology. The standard endpoint analyzes up to about 12 seconds per request; longer files require the enterprise endpoint, which can process files of any length and return track timestamps. AudD can monitor radio stations and streams around the clock, returning results through webhooks or long polling. Stream recognition supports Twitch, YouTube, and other stream URLs, with a Twitch extension and embeddable widget. File recognition pay-as-you-go costs $5 a month, billed at $5 per 1,000 requests, and signup includes 300 requests without a credit card. A free plan and trial are listed; stream-monitoring trial inquiries are also available.
