    SpinningVinyl alternative.

    SpinningVinyl is a spinning vinyl and CD maker that renders in your browser and sells single videos. If you want a CDJ, an iPod or a Walkman for your track, or a free export in Full HD, that is where AudioAnimate differs. If you want to pay per video, or keep your files on your machine, SpinningVinyl is the better fit.

    Where SpinningVinyl is the better pick

    • You export a few videos a year. Paying €1.90 for one video beats any subscription.
    • You want text, fonts or a live audio visualizer on the video: its blog announces them (the post). AudioAnimate has neither.
    • Your track must not leave your machine. Its pricing page says your audio and artwork never leave your device. Ours sends the song and the cover to our server when you export.

    Where AudioAnimate is different

    • The gear beyond the record: a CDJ with your waveform on its screen, an iPod, a Walkman, a Technics deck in eleven finishes.
    • A free export in Full HD, in any format.
    • Every Pro option is open to try before you pay.
    • A one-time Lifetime plan.

    What it costs over a year

    SpinningVinyl Pro is €118.80 billed monthly or €79 billed yearly. AudioAnimate Pro is $83.88 billed monthly or $49 billed yearly. Prices are in different currencies and shift, so compare on the day.
