ClubDJ Pro vs YouDJ

ClubDJ Pro is DJ software for dual-deck audio and video mixing on desktop, alongside an iOS option and a browser-based mixer. Its core tools include beat and BPM detection, beat sync, live waveforms, three-band EQ, vinyl scratching, and beat-matched loops. Desktop video mixing adds more than 25 GPU effects, 41 transitions, and 13 visual overlays. The desktop app can separate tracks into vocal, melody, bass, and beat stems in real time. Smart Transition beatmatches and mixes between decks, while Auto-DJ can play a playlist without manual mixing. Desktop supports MIDI controllers and can send mixed video to a projector or second screen in 1080p. It plays local audio and video files but does not stream from Spotify. The free desktop download unlocks all features, but sessions stop after 30 minutes and require a relaunch. A Desktop license is $39.99 as a one-time purchase, billed as $39.99 once; it removes the session timer and includes lifetime updates. Desktop supports 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and macOS 12 Monterey or later.

YouDJ is DJ software designed to make DJing easier for beginners. Its two virtual turntables are paired with effects, a sampler, vinyl scratching, beat synchronization, keylock, loops, hot cues, an equalizer and MIDI control. You can play demo songs or use music from YouTube, local MP3 files, Google Drive, Dropbox and iTunes. The free plan costs nothing and includes DJ tools on mobile, desktop and the Chrome extension. YouDJ is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows and the web, as well as through an extension. PRO adds MP3 mix recording on all platforms and video recording on PC/Mac; live streaming to YouTube, Twitch or RTMP-compatible services is also limited to PC/Mac. It supports any MIDI controller and includes more than 120 mappings and a mapping editor. PRO also includes eight DJ courses totaling two hours. Payments are one-time, with lifetime upgrades.
