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

Unbounce

  • Starter tier severely limited to 5 pages and 500 monthly visitors; inadequate for most marketing campaigns
  • All tiers have monthly visitor caps; campaigns exceeding thresholds require upgrading to higher-priced plans
  • Optimize tier ($249/mo) capped at 50,000 monthly visitors; campaigns beyond this require custom Concierge pricing
  • AI copywriting and advanced optimisation features not explicitly detailed in lower tiers
  • Full customisation beyond templates requires adding custom JavaScript, CSS and HTML
  • FIPS 140-2 or advanced security features not documented as available
