Anytune alternatives, and what each one is for
Anytune is built for learning a song from its recording: slow it down, loop the hard bar, and work out what is being played. The next two are built for the same job, and all three do it well. The fourth is built for singing the song: the original voice out, the lyrics in time, the key in your range, and every take kept. Which of those you came for decides every other row. The last column is Homeoke, which I make, so read it with that in mind. Everything in the other three comes from their own sites and App Store listings.

Checked on 28 September 2026 against each product's App Store listing, plus Anytune's own site and help pages, and a "no" means the feature is not in the list the product publishes. Anytune's vocal removal works by stereo position and frequency, and Anytune's own page says the separation is not perfect. Anytune's music library means songs you own, not Apple Music streams. Transcribe+ says it can slow down songs in your Apple Music library, with some features unavailable on them. Only Anytune's other platforms were checked outside the App Store, and no prices are quoted. Features move: if the decision matters, check theirs rather than trusting a table on somebody else's site. Each name and icon belongs to its owner and is used to say which product is being discussed.
If you are learning to play a part, stay with Anytune
The top three rows are the job Anytune was built for, and it has been doing it for over a decade: slow a solo right down, loop it, count yourself in, and speed the loop up as you get it. Homeoke does none of that today. It cannot slow a song down, it has no loops, it stops at six semitones, and it is on the iPhone only, where Anytune also runs on an iPad, a Mac and Android. If you want the vocals out as well, Up Tempo and Transcribe+ both separate them with a model on the device, which is a cleaner job than a stereo filter, and Up Tempo unlocks it with a single purchase.
What Homeoke does
It is built around the part those three leave out: singing the song and hearing how it went. The original voice comes out on the phone, the synced lyrics run in front of you, and the song's range is shown against the key, so you can put it inside your own before you start. Every take is mixed over the clean backing and kept with the song, and each one shows the pitch you actually sang, so you can hear and see whether today went better than last week.
Nothing is uploaded. The one thing it needs from you is the file, and a streaming subscription is not a file. If all you need is a song moved into a new key, key changer apps covers that on its own.
