ClubDJ Pro

Overview

ClubDJ Pro is two-deck DJ software that combines audio mixing with desktop video tools and offers separate iOS and browser mixer options. It suits DJs who want visual performance features without committing to a recurring desktop license. Its main trade-off is a 30-minute limit on free desktop sessions, while the browser mixer lacks video and MIDI support.

Key features

Mixing and automation

Beat and BPM detection, beat sync, live waveforms, three-band EQ, vinyl scratching, and beat-matched loops provide a broad set of tools for shaping transitions. Smart Transition beatmatches and mixes between decks, while Auto-DJ plays a playlist hands-free. These options can ease transitions or keep music running, but DJs who want to direct every change will still need to do that themselves.

Video and stems

Desktop video mixing includes more than 25 GPU effects, 41 transitions, and 13 visual overlays. Real-time stem separation can isolate vocals, melody, bass, and beats, giving video DJs and VJs more material to work with during a set. These are desktop strengths, not reasons to choose the more limited browser mixer.

Controllers, output, and library

Desktop supports MIDI controllers and can send mixed video to a projector or second screen in 1080p, a practical fit for visual performances. It plays local audio and video files but does not stream from Spotify, and it has no cloud library sync. DJs who depend on Spotify streaming or a synced library should look elsewhere.

Pricing

Online Mixer

The Online Mixer is free, requires no account, and includes two decks, but it has no video mixing or MIDI support. It is a low-commitment option for browser-based mixing, not a substitute for the desktop feature set.

iOS Pro subscription

The optional iOS Pro subscription costs $29.99 per year and unlocks all sound effects and premium features. It fits iOS users who want those additions; the free iOS option gives up those premium features.

Desktop license

The desktop download is free with all features unlocked, but each session ends after 30 minutes and requires a relaunch. A $39.99 once license removes that timer and includes lifetime updates. Both free and licensed desktop versions can be used for commercial gigs, so the paid license is chiefly for uninterrupted sessions rather than commercial-use permission.

Platforms

ClubDJ Pro is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and the web. Desktop supports 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and macOS 12 Monterey or later. Audio is processed locally and is not uploaded to the maker’s servers; the privacy policy also describes anonymized usage analytics and crash or performance data.

Who it's for

The maker positions desktop for mobile and wedding DJs, video DJs and VJs, beginners, and DJs moving away from subscription software. The combination of video mixing, stems, MIDI support, and a one-time desktop license is especially relevant to visual performers seeking a non-subscription desktop option. DJs who prioritize Spotify streaming or cloud library sync are a poor fit.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Desktop video toolkit: Dual-deck mixing, numerous effects and transitions, and 1080p output support visual performances.
• One-time desktop license: The $39.99 once purchase removes the session timer and includes lifetime updates.
• Local audio processing: Audio is not uploaded to the maker’s servers.

Cons

• Free desktop sessions are capped: The 30-minute limit requires a relaunch, disrupting longer sets unless licensed.
• Browser mixing is narrower: The free Online Mixer has no video mixing or MIDI support.
• No Spotify streaming or cloud library sync: The desktop app relies on local files rather than those connected-library workflows.

Alternatives

Browse DJ Software for more options. Choose djay if you want a free download with core mixing features across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with advanced features behind an optional PRO subscription. rekordbox may suit DJs who want music management plus a free tier with 1,000 cloud tracks and one synced device. Consider VirtualDJ if its free option for nonprofessional use without professional equipment or its $4.00 per month HOME plan for entry-level controllers fits your setup. Cross DJ, edjing Mix, Remixlive, Tau, and WeDJ are also freemium alternatives.

Verdict

ClubDJ Pro is a strong fit for DJs who want desktop audio and video mixing, stem separation, and MIDI support without a recurring desktop fee. Choose the $39.99 once license if the 30-minute free-session cap would interrupt your work; look elsewhere if Spotify streaming or cloud library sync is central to your setup.
