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 Vizard if
You’re building around agencies and teams. Vizard is the team-friendly clipper — workspaces, brand kits, and review flows that agencies actually need, plus clip detection that's competitive with Opus. Caption styling lags Submagic and pricing starts higher than the budget end, but it's the rare AI clipper a six-person team can use without stepping on each other.
