Cross DJ vs OtsTurntables

Cross DJ is a two-deck mixing app for creating and performing DJ mixes on Android, iOS, and macOS. Its mixer combines classic DJ EQs with real-time stem separation to isolate beats and vocals. A waveform player lets users zoom and line up tracks; hot cues, adjustable loops, and a launcher with samples and one-shots add performance controls. The product page lists more than 30 effects, and Automix can automate transitions. The App Store listing says users can stream from Spotify, Beatport, and SoundCloud Go+, or access music through iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Cross DJ supports cloud library sync and Ableton Link, and MIXVIBES names supported MIDI controllers plus USB audio interfaces and external mixers. The free app has optional in-app purchases. Cross DJ Premium costs $19.99 a year and unlocks Pro features on iOS and Mac; Cross DJ Pro for Android costs $36.99, paid once. An iPhone subscription works on iPad or Mac with the same Apple ID, but subscriptions do not transfer between Apple and Android devices.
