Cross DJ vs YouDJ

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.

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.
