The verdict

Auphonic wins, 7.2 to 5.3

Adobe Podcast rebuilds speech to sound studio-recorded and sets loudness to a target, but it does not cut filler words or silence, only manual transcript edits. Auphonic cuts both on every plan, including its free tier, and adds a REST API on every plan too. Adobe Podcast's only paid tier is $19.99 a month; Auphonic's cheapest paid plan is $13 a month.

Pick Adobe Podcast if you already work in Adobe apps and want studio-quality speech rebuilding.

Pick Auphonic if you want filler word and silence cutting built in, on any plan.
