Yoodli

Yoodli started as a consumer AI speech coach and now ships most of its R&D into enterprise sales roleplay, but the speaking-skills core is still one of the most polished AI coaches on the market. You upload or record a talk and get a transcript scored for filler-word rate, words per minute, weak phrases, sentence variety, and TED-style benchmark comparisons.

The newer feature is live coaching — Yoodli sits in the background during Zoom, Meet, or Teams calls and pushes private nudges to your screen when you ramble or speed up. For podcast hosts that's useful: feedback on the actual conversations you record rather than rehearsal monologues.

Pricing in 2026: Starter is free (5 lifetime sessions), Pro is $8/mo billed annually (10 roleplays per week, live AI roleplays, recording feedback), Advanced is $20/mo billed annually (unlimited roleplays, data exclusion from AI training). Team and Enterprise plans are custom — that's where the actual roadmap energy goes.

The downside is the consumer experience now feels like a side product. Pricing pages, examples, and integrations all assume you're a sales team.

For podcasters it's still worth the eight dollars a month, but don't expect new consumer features any time soon. The advanced filler-word and pacing analytics remain accurate enough that even with the enterprise pivot the core analysis layer is genuinely useful for interview prep.
