CortexDJ vs NeonDeck

CortexDJ analyzes local music files and builds beatmatched DJ sets from a chosen folder, vibe and length. It identifies Camelot key, energy, BPM and song structure, then adjusts beatgrids to real kick drums. Its automated mixing orders tracks harmonically, shapes an energy curve and applies transitions including filter sweeps, echo throws and bass swaps. Tracks whose beatgrids cannot be locked confidently are excluded from auto-mixes and flagged. Live decks provide EQ, effects, loops, hot cues and pads, and users can take control during an AI mix. All tiers export rekordbox XML with beatgrids, hot cues and crates, plus Serato-readable playlists and crate files; Serato hot cues are not included. The Free plan is for home use and includes analysis, auto-mixing, mashups, rendering and exports. Pro is $7.45 a month and adds controller support, recording, live-streaming and priority email support. Lifetime is $127, paid once. Desktop support is 64-bit Windows 10/11 and a macOS Apple Silicon beta; the browser mixer is a separate beta, not the full app.

NeonDeck is a web-based AI DJ mixer for bars and restaurants that runs in a browser without hardware. AI Auto-DJ can play music automatically, while smart transitions calculate fades between tracks. The two decks provide EQ, a filter, beat loops, and live FX. A soundboard puts effects, sirens, and shoutouts on one-tap hotkeys. Multi-Playlist organizes music by genre, mood, or event, and the cloud library syncs songs to every device. The free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes 10 songs, basic mixing, one playlist, and the soundboard. Basic costs €4.99 a month, billed per month, with 50 songs, AI Auto-DJ, smart transitions, Multi-Playlists, and cloud sync. Pro costs €9.99 a month, billed per month, and includes unlimited songs, everything in Basic, priority AI, advanced FX, and premium support. The listed platform is web, so the product is presented as browser software rather than a hardware-dependent mixer.
