Extractune vs Moises
Moises is a popular practice app for musicians. Extractune does the core of it, splitting a song into parts and slowing it down or changing its key, free in your browser, without uploading the song or making an account. Here's an honest look at where each one is the better pick.
Side by side
| Feature | Extractune | Moises |
|---|---|---|
| Where the song is processed | In your browser, on your device. The song is never uploaded. | On Moises's servers: you upload the song to its cloud. |
| Account | None. Open the page and pick a file. | Needed, even for the free plan. |
| Price | Free, with no watermark and no monthly count, because the split runs on your own device. | A free plan with a limited number of songs, and paid subscriptions for more songs, parts and features. |
| Parts | Voice, drums, bass and everything else, plus one-tap acapella, instrumental, drumless, bassless and drums only. | Vocals, drums, bass and more, with extra instruments on paid plans. |
| Speed and key | Slow down to 50% without changing pitch, change key by up to 6 semitones, loop a section and build up speed. | Speed and pitch controls, plus a metronome and chord detection. |
| Song length | Up to 5 minutes per split (2 where the browser can't use the graphics chip); trim a longer video to the part you need. | Full-length songs, with longer uploads on paid plans. |
| Start from a video | Yes: pick a video (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, up to 500MB), trim it, and split its sound. | Built around songs you upload or import. |
| Apps | None to install: it runs in Chrome, Edge or Safari on phone or computer. | Apps for iPhone, Android and desktop, plus a web version. |

Where each one wins
Moises is better at
- More instruments: guitar, piano and others can be split out, not just drums and bass.
- Chord detection and a metronome, which Extractune doesn't have.
- A library that syncs across your devices, and whole songs split in one go.
Extractune is better at
- Your song never leaves your device, and there's no account to make.
- Free with no monthly count: split as many songs as you like.
- Starts from a video: take the sound of a clip you filmed or saved, trim it, and split it.
Which one to pick
Pick Moises if you want chords, a metronome and more instruments in one app, or a library you use on several devices, and you don't mind uploading songs or paying for more of them.
Pick Extractune if you want to split and practise a song for free, right now, without an account, and without the song leaving your device.
Questions
- Is there a free alternative to Moises?
- Yes. Extractune splits a song into voice, drums, bass and everything else, and slows it down or changes its key, free in your browser with no account. Splits run up to 5 minutes at a time.
- Can Extractune detect chords like Moises?
- No. Extractune splits, slows down, changes key and loops; it doesn't detect chords. If chords are what you need, Moises does that.
- Is Extractune really not uploading my song?
- Yes. Extracting, splitting, the studio and every download run in your browser. The only feature that sends audio anywhere is Get the words (transcription and song ID), and only when you tap it.
- Why does the first split take longer?
- The separation engine (about 172MB) downloads once and stays in your browser, so the first split waits for it. After that, splits start straight away.
