Compeller review
Turns tracks and stems into editable visuals, with tools for live performance.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Compeller turns music tracks and stems into visuals, then lets users refine and perform them through its editor and REACT live engine. Its audience includes independent musicians, bands, DJs, venues, and touring teams that need visuals for shows as well as prepared video. Developers can also automate projects and assets through API and MCP interfaces. The combination suits performers who want music-responsive output and control over how it is presented, rather than a tool focused only on lyric videos.
The workflow spans generation, scene planning, and editing: Compeller analyzes rhythm, structure, and energy, while users can adjust visual look, pacing, and output format. REACT adds a live-performance path, with routing for streams, projectors, LED walls, NDI, and DMX-oriented workflows. This breadth may fit teams moving between a produced video and a live setup. It also makes the product less specifically suited to buyers seeking only a simple, lyric-led music video workflow.
Pricing offers a free entry point, though its monthly rendering allowance is limited to 30 minutes, with 500 MB storage and additional minutes at $0.25 each. Flexible uses the same per-minute rate without a subscription. Starter costs $12 monthly for 60 minutes, 5 GB storage, email support, up to 10 projects, and full REACT access; extra minutes are $0.20. Pro is $29 monthly for 200 minutes, 50 GB, priority support, unlimited projects, API access, and $0.15 additional minutes. Enterprise costs $199 monthly for 2,000 minutes, unlimited storage, custom integrations, an SLA guarantee, and white-label options. Choose Compeller if live routing and music-aware visual control matter; look elsewhere if lyric-video support is essential or the live-show capabilities are unnecessary.
