ClubDJ Pro

Overview

ClubDJ Pro is two-deck DJ software for mixing audio and video, with desktop, iOS, and browser options. It suits DJs who want video effects and real-time stem separation alongside core mixing tools. Desktop is the strongest edition, but its free sessions stop after 30 minutes.

Key features

Mixing and automation

Beat and BPM detection, beat sync, live waveforms, three-band EQ, vinyl scratching, and beat-matched loops provide a useful set of tools for manual transitions. Smart Transition can beatmatch and mix between decks, while Auto-DJ plays a playlist hands-free. These options suit DJs who want help with transitions or unattended playback; they are less compelling for users seeking only a basic player.

Video and stems

Desktop adds dual-deck video mixing with more than 25 GPU effects, 41 transitions, and 13 visual overlays. It can separate tracks in real time into vocal, melody, bass, and beat stems. That combination makes desktop the natural choice for video DJs and VJs, while the browser mixer lacks video mixing.

Controllers, files, and privacy

Desktop supports MIDI controllers and can send mixed video to a projector or second screen in 1080p, useful for a gig with a visual display. It plays local audio and video files but does not stream from Spotify, and there is no cloud library sync. Audio is processed locally and not uploaded to the maker’s servers; the privacy policy also describes anonymized usage analytics and crash or performance data.

Pricing

Online Mixer

The browser option costs nothing, requires no account, and omits video mixing and MIDI support. It is a sensible way to try the core mixer without a paid commitment, but those omissions rule it out for controller-based or video sets.

iOS Pro subscription (Annual)

The iOS Pro subscription costs $29.99 a year and unlocks all sound effects and premium features. It fits iOS users who want those additions; the annual term is a recurring cost rather than a one-time desktop license.

Desktop

The Desktop license costs $39.99, paid once and removes the free app’s 30-minute session timer, with lifetime updates. The free desktop download has all features unlocked, and both free and licensed desktop versions can be used for commercial gigs, but free sessions require a relaunch every 30 minutes. That makes free useful for short sessions or evaluation, while regular sets are better served by the license.

Platforms

ClubDJ Pro is offered for iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web. Desktop requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, or macOS 12 Monterey or later. The browser mixer’s lack of video mixing and MIDI support means the platform choice also changes what the product can do.

Who it's for

ClubDJ Pro is a strong fit for mobile and wedding DJs, video DJs and VJs, beginners, and DJs moving away from subscription software, especially if desktop video effects or stem separation matter. It is a weaker match for DJs who rely on Spotify streaming, want cloud library sync, or need uninterrupted desktop sessions without buying a license.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Desktop combines dual-deck video mixing, real-time stem separation, MIDI support, and 1080p video output.
• The free desktop version unlocks all features and permits commercial gigs, making it possible to evaluate the full desktop toolset before paying.
• The $39.99, paid once desktop license removes the session timer and includes lifetime updates.

Cons

• Free desktop sessions end after 30 minutes, interrupting longer practice or performance sessions.
• The Online Mixer has no video mixing or MIDI support.
• Local-file playback, no Spotify streaming, and no cloud library sync limit it for DJs who depend on those workflows.

Alternatives

Browse DJ Software for more options. Pick VirtualDJ if you want a free plan for nonprofessional use without professional equipment, or an entry-level controller plan at $4 a month. djay is another free-download option with core mixing features and an optional PRO subscription for advanced features. Choose rekordbox if basic music management and DJ features, a 1,000-track cloud allowance, and one synced device are priorities on its free plan. Cross DJ offers a free app with optional premium features on Android, iOS, and macOS. DJUCED may suit Hercules controller users who want a free four-deck setup with MIDI control. future.dj pro has a free two-deck option for home or non-commercial use, but controller support is limited to 10 minutes per session. Mixxx is worth considering if you want a free full version with no official paid or pro edition. Serato DJ Pro is an alternative with a paid plan at $11.99 a month.

Verdict

Choose ClubDJ Pro if you want desktop video mixing and stem separation in a two-deck DJ app, with a one-time license that removes the session cap. Look elsewhere if Spotify streaming, cloud library sync, or a free desktop workflow without forced relaunches is essential.
