True multi-device

Mixo syncs your library across as many computers as you like, plus mobile apps on iOS and Android. If you prep on three machines, that is a real advantage.

Frequently asked questions

The honest answers, including the trade-offs.

If you want an offline, one-time-purchase alternative to Mixo's cloud subscription, yes. Vibes keeps your library local and adds mood tagging and a visual set builder. If you specifically need cross-device cloud sync, that is Mixo's strength.

Architecture and focus. Mixo is a cloud library: its core value is syncing playlists, cue points, and beatgrids across devices and DJ apps. Vibes is an offline desktop app: its core value is organizing tracks by mood and energy with your own tagging system and building sets on a visual canvas.

Vibes is $49 once. Mixo Gold is $7 per month, which adds up to $84 per year for as long as you use it. After about seven months, Vibes is the cheaper tool, and it keeps working without further payment. Check mixo.dj/pricing for their current plans.

No. Vibes is offline-first. Your files stay where they are on your drive, Vibes references their location, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Mixo takes the opposite approach and connects to your own cloud storage for sync.

Not via the cloud. A Vibes license covers two devices, and your library lives locally on each. If always-on multi-device sync is your top requirement, Mixo is built for that.

Both detect key and BPM, but Vibes goes further. On import it runs full local audio analysis: multi-band waveforms, beat grids, energy curves, and auto-detected cue points for intros, drops, and breakdowns. Mixo analyzes key and BPM and is built mainly to convert and sync that library data across your devices and DJ apps.
