How much do Karaoke Version tracks cost and what format do you get?

Karaoke Version sells five track types with published starting prices: Custom Backing Track at $2.99, Vocal Backing Track at $1.99, Video Karaoke at $2.99, Custom Karaoke at $9.99, and Instrumental Versions at $1.99. Downloads are MP3 for the audio products. The price you pay depends on how much control you want over the mix — the cheapest options give you a fixed instrumental or vocal mix, while the higher tiers let you change key, adjust individual instrument tracks, and add or remove vocals.

Price and format by product type

The site states its catalog covers more than 108,000 playback instrumentals. Prices above are the published figures shown on the product pages; the page evidence does not mention subscription pricing, free tiers, or regional price differences, so treat these as per-track prices.

What each price tier actually buys you

$1.99 — Instrumental Versions and Vocal Backing Track

Both sit at the entry price. Instrumental Versions gives you a ready-made instrumental with no editing. Vocal Backing Track lets you choose which vocal parts to keep — lead only, backing only, or instrumental only — but you are still working within preset options rather than remixing the arrangement.

Choose these if you just need a track to sing over and don't care about changing the key or rebalancing instruments.

$2.99 — Custom Backing Track and Video Karaoke

Custom Backing Track is the mid tier and the one the site promotes most heavily. You can change the key, adjust the different instrumental tracks, and add or remove lead and backing vocals before downloading as MP3. Video Karaoke at the same price targets a different use case: singing along to a video, alone or in a group.

Choose Custom Backing Track if you need a different key or a specific instrument mix. Choose Video Karaoke if you want a visual format for a party or group setting.

$9.99 — Custom Karaoke

The top tier. The site describes it as customizing your favorite song, and it costs roughly three times a Custom Backing Track. The page evidence does not break down exactly which extra controls this unlocks beyond the customization described for Custom Backing Track, so if you are deciding between the two, compare the feature list on the specific song page before paying the difference.

How buying works

1. Search for a song or artist, or browse by genre or artist from the homepage.
2. Open the track and pick the product type you want.
3. Configure it if the type allows it — key changes, instrument levels, vocal inclusion.
4. Add it to your shopping cart. The cart starts empty and holds your selections until checkout.
5. Log in or sign up to complete the purchase and access your download.

An account is part of the flow — the site shows Log in, Password Lost, Sign Up, and Help in its header, and downloads are tied to your account. The page evidence does not state whether checkout requires login at the exact moment of payment, but you should expect to have an account to retrieve purchases.

Common sticking points

• Price shown is per track, not per session. Buying several songs adds up quickly; the $9.99 Custom Karaoke tier is the one to reserve for a song you really need reworked.
• MP3 is the stated audio format. If you need WAV or another lossless format, the page evidence does not confirm availability, so check the specific product page before buying.
• Customization is the main price driver. If you don't need key changes or track-level mixing, the $1.99 tiers cover most sing-along needs.
• Video Karaoke is priced like Custom Backing Track but delivers a different product. Don't assume the $2.99 buys you both a customizable MP3 and a video — pick based on how you plan to sing.
