Every gamer eventually wants to mess with their squad using a voice changer. Whether it’s sounding like a demon in Phasmophobia or an anime character in Discord, two names always pop up: Voicemod and Clownfish. But which one is actually better? We tested both side-by-side to help you decide.
1. Interface & Ease of Use
- Voicemod: It looks like a modern app. The interface is sleek, colorful, and easy to navigate. You have big buttons for sound effects and a clear menu for selecting voices. It feels like premium software.
- Clownfish: It feels like a blast from the past (Windows 98 style). It lives in your system tray (bottom right of your screen) and is purely menu-based. It’s not “pretty,” but it’s functional.
- Winner: Voicemod (for looks) / Clownfish (for simplicity).
2. Free Features vs. Paid
- Voicemod: Technically free, but very restricted. You get a set of free voices that rotate daily. If you fall in love with a specific voice, it might be gone tomorrow unless you pay for the “Pro” version.
- Clownfish: Completely free. All voices (Alien, Robot, Clone) are available 100% of the time. No paywalls, no subscriptions.
- Winner: Clownfish (Best Free Value).
3. System Performance (Lag Test)
- Voicemod: It’s a heavier application. On older laptops, running Voicemod alongside a heavy game like Cyberpunk 2077 might cause minor frame drops.
- Clownfish: It is incredibly lightweight. It uses almost zero CPU power, making it perfect for potato PCs.
- Winner: Clownfish.
Verdict: Which One Should You Install?
- Choose Voicemod if: You want the highest quality audio, a built-in Soundboard for memes, and don’t mind paying a small fee for the best features.
- Choose Clownfish if: You want a completely free tool that won’t slow down your computer.
