Which tool fits your workflow?
Choose Youka when…
You want AI to prepare lyric timing and vocal removal, then edit and export a styled video. URL downloads and supported local exports are free with the extension; AI creation uses credits.
Choose Karaoke Builder Studio when…
You need CD+G or MP3+G for existing karaoke machines and prefer manual timing in a Windows editor. It also builds video, so the decision is about workflow and target format.

Youka pricingTest one song before switching
Recreate the song from its original soundtrack and lyrics. Keep your existing CD+G files for compatible karaoke machines; a Youka video is a different output, not an automatic project conversion.
Use the same recording and lyrics in both tools. Review timing and vocal removal, style the lyrics, then play the exported file on your intended screen. AI results depend on the recording and may need corrections.
