DJ software, head to head
Lexicon vs Mixo.
Mixo is a cloud library: it keeps one collection synced across your computers, your phone and twelve DJ apps. Lexicon runs locally and is built for prep and cleanup, with duplicate detection by audio or by tags, automatic cue points and metadata repair, and cloud sync and mobile as paid extras. The detail most mixo vs lexicon arguments leave out is where each free tier stops: Mixo's free plan is desktop only, so syncing and exporting to other DJ apps need the paid plan, while Lexicon converts a whole library for free and charges for cloud storage and the mobile app.
Choose Lexicon if
- You run more than one DJ app and need one library that stays in sync with all of them
- Your collection has accumulated duplicates, broken paths and inconsistent metadata that need cleaning up
- You want your own tag vocabulary rather than a fixed set someone else chose
- A subscription is acceptable, or the lifetime option is worth the larger one-time cost
Choose Mixo if
- You DJ on more than one computer and want the same library, playlists and cue points on each of them
- You want the collection on a phone or tablet as well, including offline listening
- Your apps include ones most converters skip, such as Mixxx, Cross DJ, DEX 3 or UltraMixer
- A monthly plan suits you, because syncing and exporting to other DJ apps sit on the paid tier

Where Lexicon wins.
If these match how you DJ, Lexicon is your answer.
Moves libraries between DJ apps
Exports to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor and Engine plus others, so a collection built in one app is not trapped there.
Cleanup and metadata repair
Finds duplicates and repairs inconsistent metadata across a collection, which is the work nobody wants to do by hand.
Cloud sync and mobile on paid plans
Paid tiers add sync across devices and a mobile app, so the library is reachable away from the main machine.
Where Mixo wins.
If these match how you DJ, Mixo is your answer.
One library on every device
The paid tier syncs your collection to your other computers and to the iOS and Android apps, so the library travels instead of living on one machine.
Converts between twelve DJ apps
Moves libraries between Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, Engine DJ, VirtualDJ, djay Pro, Mixxx and more, twelve apps in total, including several that other converters skip.
A free desktop tier that does real work
The free plan imports from nearly all DJ apps, analyses key and BPM, edits metadata, cues and ratings, and builds playlists and smart lists.

Methodology
How we keep this honest.
We own our bias
We make Vibes, a library tool that works alongside both apps. We sell neither Lexicon nor Mixo, which keeps this one neutral.
Live pricing
The Vibes price shown comes straight from our checkout, never a hardcoded marketing number.
