Well I have to say while Djay Pro is coming along nicely, it is still some way off the big names (Serato, Traktor, Rekordbox DJ and Cross).
So if you are interested in Serato and take a next step, I would advise to get it now as long as this discount lasts.
What do you think are the differences that make Serato so much better?
There isn’t really such a thing as better or worse as the choice is highly personal. What you can compare is the amount/quality of features for example. Things like track management are also different, in DJay Pro heavily relying on iTunes for example. With DJay Pro being a pretty recent addition to the DJ Software menu, it is understandable that it is a bit behind old hands like Traktor and Serato. As Terry_42 said they are catching up quickly though.
I totally agree, there is not a real BETTER here.
Currently it is simply the amount of features and the quality of some of the features (F/X for example) that make Serato the winner by points.
However if you do not need any of those features or even prefer a more simple setup, or the way the iTunes integration works in Djay then it might be for you.
I have tested Djay Pro extensively since the introduced the parallel waveforms and even played some small gigs (if you can say gig, it was basically a friends get together) with it. In a full on gig I still prefer Serato, but your mileage may vary.

Algoriddim Djay Pro Vs Serato 4

Djay Pro 2

I use a Traktor X1+Z1+F1 combo at home and for gigs - but my trusty KORG Kaoss DJ controller is always in my backpack for those emergency party situations.
Thanks to its Spotify integration, I use Djay as my 'portable' app for basic mixing (which means it's also great for taking requests in the club - but don't tell anyone) - however, I find it to be limited in its transport controls vs. Traktor.
This mapping upgrades all of that, and works as per the 'out-of-the-box' KORG instruction manual.. whilst retaining all the power of that awesome Kaoss Pad.
The bits that don't work, however, are due to interoperability because this hardware was originally built for use with Serato - so there are a couple of fiddly bits to be discovered, but that's all part of the fun, right?!
All feedback welcome, as well as any improvements.
Much love, Tom xx
