What they are
Podcastle
Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.
Descript
Descript treats audio and video like a text document. Edit by deleting words, splice clips with copy and paste, and use AI features to remove filler words, clone voices, and clean up backgrounds. Popular with podcasters and YouTubers.
