Which one should you pick?
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.
Pick Recast Studio if
You’re building around marketing-led podcasters. Recast Studio is built like a marketing team's view of a podcast — clips, audiograms, transcripts, show notes, blog posts, and social captions all from one upload. Strong audiogram tooling; the clip-selection AI lags Opus and Vizard.
