Show notes and clips from one upload
Podsqueeze takes an episode and returns everything that gets written after it: show notes, chapters, a summary, social posts, and audiograms or video clips cut from the audio. It will stand up a website for the podcast as well. Plans are counted in minutes of audio a month, and the cheapest holds two hours, which is four half-hour episodes.
Our note
Against Castmagic the difference is the clips: Podsqueeze cuts video and audiograms from the same upload where Castmagic is text first. If the plan is to post to social from every episode, that is what decides it.

Transcription you can pay for by the hour
Sonix will bill by the hour rather than by the month, which is the right shape for somebody who transcribes a batch of interviews twice a year and nothing in between. Accuracy across its 54 languages is good and the editor lines the text up against the audio. Subscribers get storage and an AI workspace that the hourly rate does not include.
