Questions
Is there a free Auphonic alternative with no monthly limit?
For the basics, yes: noise removal, levelling, a limiter and loudness targets, with no monthly hour limit. It reduces room echo as well. It does not replace Auphonic’s multitrack, filler-word cutting or publishing tools.
How much does Auphonic give you for free?
When we checked in November 2026, the free plan covered 2 hours of processed audio a month, and added an Auphonic jingle. Paid plans add more hours and features.
Can VoiceStudio hit −16 LUFS for podcasts like Auphonic?
Yes. Pick the Podcast target on export and it measures your audio and sets it to −16 LUFS with peaks kept under −1 dB.
Does VoiceStudio cut silence or filler words?
Not automatically. You can select any part of the waveform and delete it, with undo, but it does not find ums or pauses for you.
Can I use both?
Sure. Some people clean and trim in VoiceStudio, then use their Auphonic hours only for the jobs that need multitrack, filler-word cutting or automatic publishing.
Is VoiceStudio connected to Auphonic?
No. It is an independent project with no link to Auphonic.
