Just as importantly, it’s also incredibly stable and offers a large selection of plug-and-play hardware for all budgets. And when you’re ready to step into the booth, Traktor integrates with high-end Pioneer equipment already installed in most clubs around the world.
The full version of Traktor Pro costs $99, but you can also get a free demo version on this one.

Serato DJ boasts itself the world’s best DJ software. It has the lowest latency in the whole industry, brings a lot of performance features (basically everything you need to DJ) and works with a wide range of hardware. It offers 8 colored hot cues per deck and track, 8 saved loops, auto looping, manual looping, key shifting, Slip mode, the already above-mentioned effects, and sampler and much more. All of these functions can be fully mapped to any MIDI controller.
Serato offers a Lite version which is totally free but limited in many features. The pro version provides all the features and it costs 9.99$ per month.
