Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Auphonic
Automatic levelling and noise removal, by the hour
Auphonic does one job on a finished file: loudness normalisation to a broadcast target, noise and reverb reduction, and a transcript if you want one. It is the step between a recording that is done and a file that sounds like somebody mastered it. Billing counts processed audio hours rather than seats, which suits a show that publishes irregularly. Two hours a month are free, and free productions carry a jingle.

Krisp
Noise removal and AI notes on any call
Krisp sits between your microphone and whatever application is listening, so the noise removal works on any call rather than only inside one meeting tool. The same audio gets transcribed and summarised into notes and action items afterwards. Accent conversion is the unusual feature and it is metered by the hour on the cheaper plan. There is no free tier here, only a seven-day trial.
Our note
The reason to pick this over the meeting-notes tools is that it cleans the audio going out, not just the transcript coming back. If you only want notes, Otter or Fireflies cost less and do more with them.
