Which one should you pick?
Pick Auphonic Audiograms if
You’re building around engineers who already use auphonic for leveling and want audiograms in the same workflow. Auphonic is best known for audio levelling and loudness normalisation, but it also produces audiograms with captions and waveforms as a byproduct of its main pipeline. For audio-first podcasters using it for post anyway, audiograms are essentially a free distribution upgrade.
Pick Choppity if
You’re building around podcasters on a budget. Choppity is one of the more honest podcast clippers — it leans into multi-speaker face tracking rather than trying to be a do-everything platform. The free tier is genuinely usable and the Starter plan at $2/mo is borderline absurd if you're price-sensitive.
