A side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, and export quality between the two most popular vinyl video makers.
Both dubplate.club and Turn.audio make spinning vinyl videos. Same idea, different execution. If you're trying to decide between them, here's the short version: dubplate.club is faster, cheaper, more private, and gives you more for free. Turn.audio has colored vinyl options we don't. That's about it.
Here's the full breakdown.

|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 3 exports/month, no watermark | 60s max, watermarked |
| Pro price | $3/month | $10/month |
| Export formats | 1:1, 9:16, 4:5, 16:9 | 1:1, 9:16, 16:9 |
| Templates | Vinyl, CD, artwork | Vinyl (with color variants) |
| Custom backgrounds | Yes (photo + video) | No |
| Rendering | In-browser (instant) | Server-side (queue) |

Turn.audio Pro is $10/month. dubplate.club Pro is $3/month. That's $84/year in your pocket for the same core feature: spinning vinyl videos without a watermark.
But here's the thing — you probably don't even need Pro. dubplate.club's free tier gives you 3 exports per month with no watermark, all formats, all templates. That's enough for most release cycles: one square for Instagram, one portrait for Reels/TikTok, one landscape for YouTube. Turn.audio's free tier watermarks everything and locks you to square only. So you're comparing our free vs their $10/month for the same output quality.
This is the difference we care about most. Turn.audio requires you to upload your audio and artwork to their servers. They render the video server-side and send you a download link. Your unreleased track lives on someone else's infrastructure.
dubplate.club renders everything in your browser. Your files never leave your device. The video encodes locally using WebCodecs and downloads directly. For a 30-second clip, export takes 10-20 seconds. No upload, no queue, no email with a download link, and nobody else has a copy of your unreleased music.
If you're working on something you haven't announced yet, this matters.
dubplate.club gives you three template styles: spinning vinyl, CD, and static artwork. Plus you can add a photo or video background behind the spinning disc — layer your record over a studio shot, a live clip, or an abstract visual. Turn.audio only does vinyl (though they do offer colored wax and transparent options we don't have).
We export in four aspect ratios: 1:1 (Instagram feed), 9:16 (Reels/TikTok/Spotify Canvas), 4:5 (Instagram standard), and 16:9 (YouTube). Turn.audio offers three — missing 4:5. Both export H.264 MP4 at high quality. dubplate.club renders at 60fps.
When you export on dubplate.club, it's automatically saved to your profile at dubplate.club/@yourhandle. Each dubplate gets its own public page where anyone can play the audio and see the spinning artwork. Useful for link-in-bio, press kits, sharing with collaborators, or just having a place where your music lives.
Turn.audio doesn't have profiles or shareable links. You download the video file and that's it.
dubplate.club accepts MP3, WAV, AIFF, and FLAC. Turn.audio takes MP3 and WAV. If you work in AIFF (Logic/Pro Tools) or FLAC, dubplate.club handles it without conversion.
Being honest:
If you want colored vinyl aesthetics and don't mind paying $10/month, Turn.audio does that well. For everything else — price, speed, privacy, formats, templates, sharing — dubplate.club gives you more for less. And the free tier alone covers most artists' needs without spending anything.
