Stop using production tools for live performances! ● Tempo Sync with MIDI Clock and Ableton Link, with dedicated output for metronome (click) ● Lyrics and Chords attachments with custom annotations: each Scene recalls PDF or images that you can visualize during the performance.

How Camelot is organized: ● Setlists - a collection of Songs ● Songs - can have one or more Scenes that each include a Timeline. When you select a Song in Camelot, you load all the resources needed to play that Song (i.e., Virtual Instruments, FX, and Audio Tracks). ● Scenes - recall and organize Hardware instruments presets, MIDI connections, Software plugin presets, and Music Score Attachments. You can switch freely from one Scene to another with no interruption in the sound. ● Layers - the building blocks of each Scene. Layers allow the connection between MIDI Input Controllers and the Items. Layers manage the MIDI and Audio flow for all the Items that are loaded on them. ● Items - Individual Hardware or Software Instruments and FX.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VR at Free against Camelot Pro's $29.99. VR also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Camelot Pro's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 29 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
