Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Auphonic

  • The free tier covers 2 hours of processed audio a month
  • Billing is by audio duration with a 3 minute minimum per production, so many short clips cost more than the running time suggests
  • Multilingual speech recognition, automatic chapters and show notes all require a paid plan
  • Watch folders, batch productions and team accounts are paid features
  • Free output carries an Auphonic jingle

CapCut

  • Homepage names a free tier but publishes no price for Pro plans, requiring users to click through to a separate page to find a figure
  • AI image and video generation from text prompts are offered as a distinct paid capability layered on top of the base editor rather than described as free
