In their own words
Smule
Smule is a singing platform for karaoke, recordings, duets, and musical collaboration, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its catalog includes more than 15 million songs across genres such as pop, rock, R&B, country, K-pop, and musicals. Singers can shape recordings with reverb, filters, vocal effects, pitch guidance, and key adjustment, then make videos with visual effects and lyric overlays; optional AI-powered voice tools are also available. Users can host or join live karaoke sessions for real-time audiences. Smule describes its singer community as spanning more than 190 countries. The free plan allows users to join existing duets. VIP All Access Pass costs $19.99 a month and adds solo recording, personal duets, group performances, and unlimited catalog access. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The iOS app requires iOS 15 or later. Smule says accounts cannot currently be made private, though privacy settings for posted recordings can be changed.
