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.

Clips cut from streams and long video
Spikes Studio finds the moments worth posting in a long recording and cuts them into vertical clips with captions burned on. Plans are metered in minutes of source video a year rather than in clips, so a weekly four-hour stream is the thing to measure before choosing a tier. Free output carries a watermark and stops at 720p, which makes the free plan a demo rather than a workflow.
Our note
Measure your weekly recording hours against the annual minute allowance before picking a tier, because 3,600 minutes a year is only about an hour a week. The watermark makes the free plan a demonstration rather than something to publish from.
