Turn.audio alternative.
Turn turns a cover and a track into a spinning record video, and has done for years. AudioAnimate does that too, then goes further on the gear: Technics decks, CDJs, an iPod, a Walkman. Here is what each does, with sources.
Opens with a Technics deck and the square format ready. Free to design, sign in only to export.

Where Turn is the better pick
If a spinning record is all you need and you already know Turn, there is no reason to move. It is simple and well known, and it has 400+ vinyl colors. For a few clips a year, its free export does the job.
Where AudioAnimate is different
- The gear. A Technics SL-1200, a CDJ with your track on its screen, an iPod on Now Playing, a Walkman. It is the reason to choose us.
- Free is more usable: every format, Full HD, and you can try everything in the studio before paying, Pro options included.
- A lower monthly price, a yearly price and a one-time Lifetime.
- A Spotify Canvas made from the same design.
What it costs over a year
Turn at $10 a month is $120. AudioAnimate Pro is $83.88 billed monthly, $49 billed yearly, or $109 once with Lifetime, which is Pro for good.
Not sure yet? Open the studio, drop a cover and a song, and look at the record. Nothing to pay until you export.
Questions
- Is AudioAnimate a good Turn.audio alternative?
- It makes the same spinning record video, with more players (Technics decks, CDJs, an iPod, a Walkman), every format on the free plan, and a lower monthly price. Turn is the simpler of the two if you only want a record.
- Can I try AudioAnimate without paying?
- Yes. Every option is open in the studio. A free export is up to 45 seconds with a watermark, and Pro options are listed when you export.
Try it with your own track.
Drop a cover and a song in the studio. Everything is open to try, and nothing to pay until you export.
