Star Singer vs Mozart AI
Tested by us on October 16, 2026 on a Pixel 6 Pro with the Google Play (US) versions of both apps, real purchases, the same photo and the same brief. Prices change; check the app before you buy.
Short answer
Mozart AI held the face better than Star Singer, and its cheapest video (a 20-second clip) was $4.99. But downloading it required a PRO subscription, and a full-song video was quoted at 360 credits, roughly $60 by our estimate. Star Singer's full-song video is $19.99 one-time, at 1080x1920, downloadable without a subscription.

Side by side
Same photo, same brief, real purchases, October 16, 2026. Where we could not measure something, the table says so.
| Star Singer | Mozart AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Price model | One-time price per video: $5.99 clip or $19.99 full music video | Subscription ($5.99 a week, $39.99 a year, $59.99 lifetime) plus one-time video prices |
| Cost of a first full video, as we measured it | $19.99 one-time for the full video (or $5.99 for a clip); the song itself was free | Full-song video quoted at 360 credits (roughly $60 by our estimate). We bought the 20 s clip: $4.99 plus tax, then download required PRO |
| Video length and resolution | Clip 26 s, full video 2:02 (the whole song); both 1080x1920 | 20 s, a single scene. Resolution not measured: download needed PRO, so we screen-recorded it |
| Makes the song too? | Yes. Lyrics are shown and editable for free, then the song is sung; one free song a day (free songs are shared in the public feed) | Mozart is also an AI song generator; its video maker took a song we uploaded |
| Preview before paying? | Yes, free: the video concept plus a few stills, with a button to ask for another idea | None that we saw |
| Subscription or credits? | No subscription and no credits to top up. You pay once for the video you pick | Both. A $29.99 weekly "Video Pack" was preselected as "Best value" |
| Watermark | None on the paid clip or the paid full video | Not checked: we could not download the file without PRO |
| Likeness to the photo | Our weakest point: the face drifts between shots and wardrobe is restyled | Strong likeness |
What happened in Mozart AI
Four onboarding screens, then a paywall ($5.99 a week, $39.99 a year, $59.99 lifetime). A Google login promised one free song (the counter showed 0). Video prices: 20 s $4.99, 60 s $14.99, full song 360 credits, with a $29.99 weekly "Video Pack" preselected. We paid $4.99 for the 20-second clip; downloading it then required a PRO subscription, and the player was covered by a "20 Video Bundle $159.99 to $99.99" offer.
Where each one is better
Where Mozart AI is better
- Likeness. Mozart kept the face from the photo better than Star Singer did; ours drifted between shots.
- The cheapest way in: a 20-second video was $4.99, against $5.99 for our clip.
- A broader song toolbox around the video: per its store listing it also does voice covers and vocal removal.
Where Star Singer is better
- One-time price. No subscription, no weekly renewal and no credits to top up: the clip is $5.99 and the full video is $19.99.
- Song and video in one place. Star Singer wrote and sang the song (lyrics editable for free first, and the song sang the recipient's name), then made the video from it.
- Full HD output. Both our clip and our full video came out at 1080x1920.
- Karaoke lyrics timed to the vocal are part of the video.
- A free storyboard before you pay: the concept and a few stills, with a button to ask for a different idea.
- You can download what you paid for. In our test Mozart required a PRO subscription to download the $4.99 video.
- The whole song as a video for $19.99. Mozart quoted its full-song video at 360 credits.
