In short: AudioShake is ranked #1 of 21 as of 3 October 2026, ahead of LALAL.AI and Moises. The best-ranked option with a free plan is LALAL.AI. The lowest first paid tier on this page is InSplitter at $1.25/mo.

Separating vocals and instruments can support audio editing and production, and the available tools differ in what they accept and export. Compare stem types and export formats, as well as maximum track length and upload size. Batch processing or API access may be relevant for repeated tasks or connected workflows; desktop app availability and a free plan offer other points to weigh. Paid-from pricing adds a cost comparison. The ranking starts with AudioShake, LALAL.AI, and Moises, with Fadr and MVSEP among the following entries shown. Match the listed limits and outputs to the recordings and workflow you have in mind.
