Auphonic

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.

Two hours of processed audio a month are free, and free productions carry a jingle. Recurring plans run $11 a month for 9 hours, $25 for 21, $52 for 45, $113 for 100 and $245 for 250. One-time credits are sold separately and get cheaper in bulk, from $2.40 an hour down to $1.71. Paying yearly is offered at a saving.

Podcasters and video editors who want one mastering step at the end, and whose output varies too much month to month for a seat licence to make sense.
