MyKaraoke Video runs in your browser on any computer, takes a YouTube link, and is free to start. Pick PowerKaraoke if you want to pay once, need 4K video, or have old CD+G and KAR files to reuse.

When MyKaraoke Video is the better pick
You're on a Mac, or you switch computers. MyKaraoke Video runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install. PowerKaraoke says its app will not work on Mac.
You start from a YouTube link. Paste it on the create page and we pull the audio.
You don't have the lyrics. Our AI transcribes them from the song, then syncs them. Or paste your own.
You run karaoke nights. Premium exports MP3+G, the format karaoke hosting software and machines use, alongside MP4.
You make bilingual or chord videos. Show the lyrics with an AI translation underneath, or put chords above the lyrics for musicians.
You make a few videos, not hundreds. Start free, then pay $7.99 a month or buy credits as you need them, instead of $149 upfront.
When PowerKaraoke is the better pick
You want to pay once. $149 buys the licence with a year of free updates. No subscription.
You need 4K. PowerKaraoke exports up to 4K in MP4, WebM or AVI. We top out at 1080p.
You have old karaoke files. It imports CD+G tracks (CDG and BIN) and KAR files, so you can rework songs you already have.
You make videos in batches. The full licence includes batch processing.
