Auphonic is built for podcast post-production. Its official help describes an adaptive leveller that sorts audio into speech, music and background, evens out quieter speakers, and applies a true peak limiter and common loudness targets. It also has a desktop batch processor with the leveller and noise and hum reduction, and it can process several files at once.
Tunedzy does cleanup and loudness on your own PC or phone. Perfect it repairs clipping, clicks and hum, runs studio sound and sets the level and tone. Multitrack levels and mixes several voices and music, and exports at a target loudness with a true peak check. Transcripts let you edit the episode by its words.
Auphonic is a service: your files are uploaded and processed on its servers. Tunedzy processes files on your device, and the transcript and the mix stay with you. If your recordings are private or under contract, that difference matters more than any feature.

| Loudness targets | Standard targets and presets | Presets for podcast, online video, audiobooks and broadcast |
| Transcript editing | Not its focus | Edit by words, captions |
| Multitrack mix | Not its focus | Tracks, fades, ducking |
Pick Auphonic for a batch of episodes through a web workflow and its leveller. Pick Tunedzy when the files must stay on your device, or when you want the transcript, the mix and the cleanup in one app. Check Auphonic’s own site for its current plans and terms.
Clean, level and export an episode in Tunedzy. The files stay on your computer.
Check Auphonic’s privacy terms and its retention policy; a web service handles uploads on its own servers.
Tunedzy levels each clip to a target and lets you set each voice in Multitrack, rather than an automatic speaker leveller. For many episodes, set each voice by hand once.
For a batch on a web workflow, Auphonic. For an offline workflow with editing, Tunedzy.
