The honest brief

Auphonic

A set-and-forget finishing pipeline rather than an editor — batch-masters to real broadcast specs (EBU R128, -16 LUFS, ACX) with API, CLI, and watch folders.

  • One-pass leveling, denoise, and AutoEQ
  • 2 free hours monthly; one-time credits never expire
  • Self-hosted Whisper transcripts at no extra cost
  • API, CLI and watch folders for batch automation
  • A mastering pipeline, not a full editing timeline
  • Cloud-only; legacy desktop apps no longer updated
  • Free hours reset monthly and don't roll over

Krisp

Installs as a virtual mic, so noise cancellation works across 800+ apps with no meeting bot and all processing on-device.

  • Strong real-time noise removal
  • Runs locally on-device for privacy
  • Bidirectional suppression (mic and speaker)
  • Transcription covers ~16 languages only
  • No cross-meeting analytics or trends
  • Some report device auto-switching glitches
