Which one should you pick?
Pick Alitu if
You’re building around non-technical solo podcasters. Alitu is push-button podcasting for people who hate DAWs — recording, cleanup, leveling, intro/outro stitching, and publishing in one tool. Pricier than buying Audition once, but the time savings are real if you can't stand fader work.
Pick Logic Pro if
You’re building around mac producers. Logic Pro is the best $200 you can spend on a Mac if you want a real DAW that also does podcast work — the one-time price beats Pro Tools' subscription rental within a year. It's still music-first under the hood though, so dialogue-dedicated tools like Hindenburg will edit interviews faster.
