BandLab Splitter vs StemSplit

BandLab Splitter separates songs into stems so musicians can work with individual parts, including vocals, bass, drums and other instruments. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, though BandLab notes that features vary by platform and the latest Splitter features may not yet be fully accessible on Android. Free users can upload unlimited tracks, provided each file is under 15 minutes; accepted media includes MP3, WAV, M4A and video. Controls let users adjust stem volume, solo or mute parts, change the split configuration, and modify BPM, pitch or loop sections. Stems can be downloaded as audio or MIDI, or opened in BandLab Studio in either format. The free version separates four stem groups. Pro and Max add guitar, strings and piano isolation and faster separation. Splitter keeps up to three earlier sessions in Recently Imported. The Free plan costs nothing. BandLab Pro monthly costs $14.99 a month after a free 3-day trial; listed annual prices are $99,149 a year for Pro and $199,299 a year for Max.

StemSplit separates songs into vocals, instrumentals, and other stems for karaoke, music production, and audio editing. It offers four-stem separation and a six-stem mode that additionally separates guitar and piano. Users can upload MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG, WEBM, AAC, OPUS, AIFF, AIF, or WMA files up to 100 MB, or submit YouTube and SoundCloud URLs. Batch processing is supported, with MP3, WAV, and FLAC exports. The service says most tracks finish in under a minute and advertises separation accuracy above 95%. It runs on the web, through a Chrome extension, and via a REST API with webhooks. Credit packages include API access and do not expire: Starter costs $2, paid once for 10 minutes, Standard $5, paid once for 30 minutes, Pro $12, paid once for 100 minutes, and Studio $30, paid once for 300 minutes.
