How dubplate.club compares to myBeat on features, pricing, free tier, export formats, and ease of use.
myBeat and dubplate.club both create spinning vinyl animations for music promotion. myBeat positions itself primarily as a Spotify Canvas tool with AI-generated artwork. dubplate.club is a broader music video generator with a vinyl/CD focus, browser-based rendering, and a more generous free tier.

myBeat's Pro plan is €7.99/month (approximately $8.70 USD). Their free tier includes a visible watermark on exports. dubplate.club's Pro plan is $3/month — less than half the price — and the free tier includes 3 exports per month with no watermark at all.
For independent artists watching every dollar, this difference adds up. Over a year, myBeat Pro costs ~$104 while dubplate.club Pro costs $36. And dubplate.club's free tier may be enough for many artists: 3 clean exports per month covers one release cycle (square for feed, portrait for Reels/Canvas, landscape for YouTube).
myBeat explicitly markets itself as a Spotify Canvas maker, with dedicated presets and a workflow tailored for Canvas creation. This is its strongest positioning — if you search "Spotify Canvas maker," myBeat is one of the first results.
dubplate.club also supports Spotify Canvas export — the 9:16 (Portrait / Canvas) format at 1080×1920 is exactly what Spotify requires. The difference is that dubplate.club treats Canvas as one of many output formats rather than the primary use case. You select "Portrait / Canvas" in the export modal, and the output meets all of Spotify's requirements. For a step-by-step guide, see How to make a Spotify Canvas video.
Functionally, both tools produce a Canvas-compatible video. myBeat wraps this in a more Canvas-specific UI. dubplate.club wraps it in a more general-purpose video creation UI.
myBeat offers AI art generation — if you don't have cover art, it can generate artwork for you based on prompts. This is genuinely useful for artists who are early in their release process and don't have final artwork yet.
dubplate.club does not generate artwork. You bring your own cover art (upload a JPG or PNG), and the tool turns it into a video. This is a deliberate design choice — most artists releasing music already have cover art from their distributor, designer, or DAW export. If you don't have artwork yet, you'll need to create it elsewhere before using dubplate.club.
If AI art generation is a must-have for your workflow, myBeat has an advantage here. If you already have artwork (which is the majority case for released or about-to-be-released music), this difference doesn't apply.
dubplate.club renders video entirely in your browser. Your audio and artwork never leave your device during export. A 30-second clip typically renders in 10-20 seconds on a modern laptop or phone. The video downloads directly — no upload queue, no waiting for an email.
myBeat uses server-side rendering. You upload your files, the server processes them, and you get a download link. This is generally slower but more predictable across devices — server-side rendering doesn't depend on your hardware's capabilities.
The privacy implication matters if you're working on unreleased music. With dubplate.club, your audio stays on your device. With myBeat, it's uploaded to their servers for processing.
dubplate.club exports in four aspect ratios: 1:1 (square), 9:16 (portrait/Canvas), 4:5 (standard), and 16:9 (landscape). myBeat focuses on 1:1 and 9:16. If you need 16:9 for YouTube or 4:5 for Instagram's standard format, dubplate.club covers those; myBeat doesn't.
myBeat Pro supports videos up to 12 minutes, which is a significant advantage for artists who want full-track YouTube uploads. dubplate.club's free tier supports clips up to 60 seconds. If you need to export a 5-minute track as a single continuous video, myBeat has a clear edge.
For social media promotion (Reels, TikTok, Canvas, feed posts), 15-60 seconds is the sweet spot. Both tools handle this range. The length difference only matters for longer YouTube uploads.
Choose dubplate.club if you want clean free exports without a watermark, a lower Pro price ($3 vs ~$9), more export formats (4:5 and 16:9), browser-based privacy (files stay on your device), CD and artwork-only templates, custom video backgrounds, or a public profile with shareable links for each creation.
For most independent artists promoting singles on social media, dubplate.club's free tier covers the need. Three unwatermarked exports per month, all formats, all templates.
