| Auphonic | Cleanvoice | |
|---|---|---|
| Pick it when | You want the levels evened out, and you can accept a jingle on the free export or pay for a clean one. | The recording is already leveled and you want filler words and long silences taken out. |
| What it does | Cleans up a recording: levels, noise, and some filler cuts, then exports the file. | Removes filler words, mouth noise, and long silences from a spoken recording. |
| Who it is for | People publishing a podcast or a voice memo who want the audio evened out without learning a full editor. | People with a finished recording who want a faster cleanup pass. |
| Free plan | Two hours a month are free, and those productions include a jingle. Unused free credits do not stack. | The page offers a free trial with no credit card. It does not spell out an ongoing free monthly allowance. |
| Price we checked | Free covers 2 hours of processed audio a month. Recurring credits start at $13 a month for 9 hours (S), or $11 a month billed yearly ($132). Prices are before VAT or sales tax. | Pay as you go starts at $11 for 5 hours of processed audio ($2.20/hour), with packs at $20 for 10 hours and $45 for 30 hours; credits are valid for two years. Subscription starts at $11 per month for 10 hours ($1.10/hour), then $28 for 30 hours and $90 for 100 hours; unused subscription credits roll over up to three times the plan limit. Prices on the page are listed without VAT. A free trial is offered with no credit card. |
| The catch | The free export adds a jingle. That matters if you publish the file as-is. Prices are before VAT or sales tax. The $13 figure is the month-to-month start. The $11 figure is yearly billing. | Prices on the page are listed without VAT, and the title still says from €10 a month while the body lists dollars. Pay-as-you-go credits last two years, which is easy to confuse with the monthly subscription. Read whether you are buying a pack or a renewing plan. |
