Its free plan includes free songs, Premium song previews, access to try features, and one quiz. Premium costs £7.99 a month and adds all songs, playlists, offline sync, unlimited quizzes and Battle, and remote connections for up to 20 people. Singers can adjust key and tempo and select lead, backing, or guide vocals; guests can browse the catalog on a smartphone and add songs to the queue. KaraFun says it adds more than 400 new karaoke songs each month. Offline Sync can keep up to 1,000 songs on a device. Vocal Match compares a user's voice with songs and is available only on iOS and Android. Premium is for private use; professional or public performances require a professional subscription.

Public performance royalties remain the customer's responsibility. One account can be used on only one device at a time, though the app may be installed on multiple devices.
