Auphonic is an automatic audio post-production service for podcasts, lectures, videos, audiobooks and radio. It levels speakers, reduces noise and reverb, cuts filler words and silence, and can master to loudness targets. Here is what you get free and how the paid credits work.

What the free plan includes

The pricing page lists these limits and features for Auphonic Free:

• 2 hours of processed audio per month. Free credits do not stack up, so unused hours don't carry over.
• The core algorithms: Intelligent Leveler, noise and reverb reduction, filtering and enhancement, loudness specifications, and filler and silence cutting.
• Multitrack productions under 20 minutes.
• Encoding, metadata and chapters, video support and audiograms, connections to external services and automatic publishing.
• Auphonic API and CLI access.
• Basic support.

What the free plan leaves out: multilingual speech recognition, automatic shownotes and chapters, watch folders, batch productions and early access to new features. Free productions also include an Auphonic jingle.

One billing rule applies to every plan: Auphonic counts the length of the audio you send in, with a minimum of 3 minutes per production. A 20-minute file with a 1-minute intro uses 21 minutes, no matter how many output formats you create.

Auphonic pricing

Auphonic sells hours of processing in two ways: recurring monthly credits and one-time credits. The page shows prices in euros or US dollars, excluding VAT, and says paying yearly saves 20%. The individual plan prices were not included in the page text we read, so we have left them blank rather than guess. Check the official pricing page for the current figures.

Other details from the pricing page:

• Loyalty Rewards: recurring plans include more hours after 6, 12 and 24 months of continuous subscription at the same price. Auphonic S, for example, grows from 9 to 14 hours a month.
• Order of use: recurring credits are used first, then one-time credits, then free credits.
• Yearly and Business plans add priority processing, team accounts and priority support. Monthly and one-time plans get basic support.
• VAT: prices exclude VAT; sales tax may apply depending on where you live, and European companies can use a VAT ID.

Is the paid plan worth it?

Going only by the plan differences:

• Stay free if you publish up to about 2 hours of audio a month and don't mind the Auphonic jingle. The free plan already includes the main clean-up and levelling algorithms.
• Buy one-time credits if your output is irregular. They never expire, so you only pay for the hours you use.
• Choose a recurring plan if you publish every week and want transcripts, automatic shownotes and chapters, watch folders or batch processing, and no jingle.
• Go yearly or Business if you need team accounts or priority processing.
