iZotope RX vs Moises

Moises focuses on AI-driven stem separation (vocals, drums, bass, other) and practice aids: chord detection, key detection, smart metronome, lyric transcription, and Voice Studio with real-singer vocal models. The AI Studio generates new stems contextually. It also includes a mastering tool for balance/loudness and a DAW plugin at the Pro tier. iZotope RX 12, per its May 2026 release, adds De-rustle and improved Dialogue Isolate for fabric rustle removal and noisy dialogue cleanup. Core modules across all tiers include Spectral Repair (point-and-click spectrogram editing), Voice De-noise, De-click, De-clip, Mouth De-click, and Spectral Recovery (restores lost highs). RX integrates via ARA and AudioSuite in major DAWs (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, etc.), while Moises works standalone or via its own plugin. Moises excels at creative music practice and demos; RX excels at forensic audio repair and restoration. Neither replaces the other—Moises cannot remove a click or isolate dialogue, and RX cannot automatically generate chord charts or separate stems into four distinct tracks. Both offer batch processing: Moises via setlists and project folders, RX via batch processor for applying modules to multiple files. News: RX 12’s new De-rustle module is particularly useful for film dialogue cleanup; no competing feature in Moises.

Moises uses a freemium model: Free tier includes limited separation time (5 mins/song), web usage. Paid tiers start at $3.99/month (Web) for longer separations and basic features; $9.99/month (Unlimited) adds mobile access, higher audio quality, Voice Studio credits, and DAW plugin. Annual plans reduce monthly cost. iZotope RX is paid only, one-time purchase per version: RX Elements $129 (basic noise reduction), RX Standard $399 (adds Mouth De-click, Dialogue Contour, batch processing), RX Advanced $1,199 (all modules including Spectral Recovery, Guitar De-noise). Upgrades cost less. No subscription required, but major version upgrades (e.g., RX 11 to RX 12) are paid. iZotope also offers educational discounts. Moises is dramatically cheaper for casual or music-focused use. For professional audio post-production, RX’s price is justified by its depth and industry adoption. Users on a tight budget may choose Moises Free for separation and pair it with a free audio editor for basic cleanup. Note: Moises pricing has not changed per latest news; RX 12 release did not alter pricing tiers.
