When each app fits

What this comparison does not establish

Looking for Just Dance Now alternatives, or apps like Just Dance Now?
If you arrived searching for a Just Dance Now alternative, the honest answer is that "alternative" may be the wrong frame. Dance apps split into three groups that do different jobs — class libraries that teach choreography, games that score you for entertainment, and feedback tools that assess your own dancing — and a product from one group rarely replaces one from another. Plenty of dancers run two.
Danzu is a feedback tool: it scores your own movement against the music itself with no reference video, so freestyle and your own choreography are both scoreable. Whether that substitutes for Just Dance Now or complements it depends on which of the three jobs you were hiring it for — the table above is the fastest way to tell.
