Sound Show vs Soundboard Online

Sound Show is a soundboard and multimedia player for managing audio cues in live performances. Tracks can be layered or crossfaded, with separate volume and playback controls. It can project video, images, text and webcam feeds on a second display. Sequences can include delays, automatic starts, simultaneous playback or waits for input; playlists support autoplay, shuffle, looping, saving and loading. Supported sound formats listed include MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP2, WMA, OGG and AIFF. The free edition allows up to 10 tabs and 40 sounds per tab, with limited visual customization, some locked modules and up to two audio outputs. Pro costs €45, paid once and adds unlimited tabs and sounds, custom grids, skins and icons, integrations, and up to eight outputs. The Android remote can control the desktop software when both devices share a Wi-Fi network. Requirements include Windows 10 21H1 or newer, macOS 11 Big Sur or newer, Linux x86_64 and Android 6.0 or newer.

Soundboard Online is a free browser soundboard for playing uploaded clips together in real time. You can create private rooms, share links and let connected members hear the same sounds simultaneously. Persistent WebSocket connections broadcast play events to everyone in a room. The service accepts MP3, WAV and OGG files up to 50 MB per clip. A visual waveform editor trims clips, and keyboard hotkeys trigger them. You can paste a YouTube link to stream background music for room members. The product is aimed at Discord servers, Twitch and YouTube streamers, D&D sessions and remote teams. Its HTTP API connects with Twitch bots, Stream Deck, Cloudflare Workers, Discord or Slack bots, Home Assistant and scripts. API keys are shown once, stored hashed and limited to playing sounds in their originating room. Soundboard Online runs in a browser with no desktop app. The Free Forever plan costs nothing, has no subscription or credit card, and places no cap on rooms, clips or sessions. Users must be at least 13.
