NeonDeck vs SetPrep

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.

SetPrep is a desktop app that plans DJ sets from an existing music library. Choose a mixing style and it returns an ordered set, giving each track an energy-arc role, a transition note, and an explanation of its selection. It reads libraries from Rekordbox, Serato, or Traktor, and can also work from a folder of audio files. Ten built-in mixing-style templates draw on analysis of real artist sets. SetPrep can write colour codes, transition notes, and star ratings back to supported DJ libraries. Other library tools include de-duplication, locating missing files, filename repair, and finding forgotten tracks. The beta is available on Mac with Apple Silicon or Intel and Windows with x64 or ARM64, but downloads are invite-gated. The free plan costs nothing and allows three generated mixes per calendar month. Pro Monthly costs £5.99 a month; Pro Annual costs £59.99 a year. Hot cues, loops, memory cues, and structural cues are described as coming soon.
