Auphonic uses credit-based pricing: a free plan with 2 hours of audio per month, recurring credit to 250 hours monthly, and one-time credit packs that never expire. Custom Business plans cover more than 1,000 hours per month.
Auphonic runs on audio credits: start free with 2 hours per month, choose a recurring plan from 9 to 250 hours, buy one-time credit packs that never expire, or contact sales for Business volumes above 1,000 hours.
Pricing scales with how much audio you process, not how many seats you need. Every paid tier unlocks the full algorithm set, so you're really just picking your monthly volume. Here's the breakdown.
Free
Other Features:
- 2 hours of audio processing per month
- Core algorithms: leveler, noise and reverb reduction, silence and filler-word cutting
- Multitrack productions under 20 minutes
- Outputs include an Auphonic jingle, plus basic support
The free tier is a genuine test drive. You can sign up with just an email — no payment details needed — and try the algorithms on real episodes. For very light use, it may be all you need.
Auphonic S
Other Features: 9 hours per month, full feature set including speech recognition and auto shownotes, watch folders, batch productions, API access, standard support.
S fits solo podcasters publishing a few episodes each month. You'll gain transcription, shownotes, and automation tools the free plan skips. Just remember that unused credits don't roll over.
Auphonic M
Other Features: 21 hours per month, full feature set, early access to new features, standard support.
M suits weekly shows or small teams with steady output. Twenty-one hours comfortably covers a month of episodes plus extras. If you occasionally run over, one-time credits can top you up.
Auphonic L
Other Features: 45 hours per month, full feature set, standard support.
L works well for daily publishers, interview-heavy shows, or freelancers juggling several clients. The bigger pack keeps your effective per-hour cost lower than the smaller ones.
Auphonic XL
Other Features: 100 hours per month, full feature set, standard support.
XL is aimed at busy production teams and networks processing shows, lectures, or radio segments every week. It absorbs high volume without constant top-ups.
Auphonic XXL
Other Features: 250 hours per month, full feature set, standard support.
XXL serves the heaviest self-serve users — podcast networks, media companies, and universities archiving large recordings. Beyond this tier, you're in Business territory.
One-Time Credits
Other Features:
- Packs from 5 to 3,000+ hours
- Credits never expire ("pay as you go")
- Optional auto-renew refills your balance; cancel anytime
- Spent after recurring credits
These shine for occasional spikes, like a conference backlog or an archive project. Recurring plans cost less per hour, so regular users should start there and add one-time packs for overflow.
Business
Other Features: more than 1,000 hours per month, team accounts, priority processing, priority support, manual invoicing, custom contracts.
Business is for organizations that need serious volume plus admin control. You get invoicing, custom contracts, and team management the smaller tiers don't include. Reach out to the Auphonic team for a quote.
Worth knowing before you buy. There's no money-back guarantee, but credits are refunded automatically for failed productions via the Refund credits link on the production page. Billing counts output audio duration, with a 3-minute minimum charged per production. Recurring credits reset monthly, yearly billing saves 20%, prices exclude VAT (EU companies can use a VAT ID), and exact per-plan prices in euros or dollars appear at checkout — so confirm them before purchasing.
