CompuHost Alternative
A CompuHost alternative with the singer tools built in
CompuHost from Karaokeware has run shows for years, and plenty of KJs trust it. If you're wondering what a newer platform adds, especially around singer identity, request control and multilingual crowds, this is a straight comparison.
The short version
- Stay with CompuHost if you want a mature, familiar tool and your current rotation, kiosk and request setup already works for you.
- Switch to Karatrack+AI if you want duplicate-singer merging, a per-singer mixer, a social layer for your regulars, a free songbook maker and a 13-language interface.
- Both are one-time purchases for the host software. CompuHost's mobile requests run through a Songbooks Online subscription; Karatrack+AI's run through a Karameet Pro or Executive host account.

Where CompuHost stands today
As of August 2026, CompuHost V3 is sold by Karaokeware Inc. as a one-time purchase at $179.95. It covers rotation, a kiosk and mobile requests, with the phone and online songbook features provided through a Songbooks Online subscription. It's maintained, but it's a mature product that hasn't had a major update in years.
That maturity is a real strength. It's also why some of the newer ideas in karaoke hosting, like a social layer for singers or a multilingual interface, aren't part of it.
What changes when you switch
These are the areas where Karatrack+AI goes past what CompuHost documents publicly.
Merge duplicate singers
Same singer, two profiles? Combine them in one click and keep their whole history, so your rotation and records stay clean.
Per-singer mic level and EQ
Set each singer's mic level and EQ on the built-in mixer, while their key, tempo and backing-vocal settings are saved to their singer history.
A social layer for your regulars
Through Karameet, singers follow each other, form groups, check in to your show and get song suggestions from other singers' favorites.
13 languages
The host console and Karakiosk switch between 13 languages, so a multilingual crowd can sign up and request in their own language.
Free songbook maker
Print a clean songbook from your karaoke folder with the free Karatrack Songbook Maker. CompuHost sells its songbook tool as a separate paid add-on.
Constant updates
Karatrack+AI ships improvements continuously. Rotation refinements, new DJ-deck features and fixes land every few days, and every update is published on our Updates page.
What CompuHost still does well
An honest comparison has two sides. CompuHost is a good fit if these matter most:
- ✓A long track record with working KJs
- ✓One-time price for the host software
- ✓Solid rotation, kiosk and mobile requests through Songbooks Online
- ✓A familiar workflow if you've used it for years
Making the switch
Karatrack+AI comes with a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked and no credit card. Install it on your Windows laptop, point it at the karaoke library you already own, and run practice rotations before your next show. Your CompuHost setup stays untouched until you're ready.
One Karatrack+AI license activates two computers, so your backup rig is covered from day one.
CompuHost alternative: common questions
+How much does CompuHost cost compared with Karatrack+AI?
As of August 2026, CompuHost V3 is a one-time purchase of $179.95, with mobile requests through a separate Songbooks Online subscription. Karatrack+AI is also a one-time purchase (see the Pricing page for the current price), with remote requests through a Karameet Pro or Executive host account.
+Does Karatrack+AI have a kiosk like CompuHost?
Yes. Karakiosk is Karatrack's in-venue kiosk. One copy runs one show with as many kiosk devices as you like, and singers can change, reorder or cancel their own requests at the kiosk.
+Can I try Karatrack+AI before buying?
Yes. There's a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked and no credit card required.
+What computer do I need?
A Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. On-the-fly vocal removal needs an NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA; every other feature runs without a dedicated graphics card.
