The verdict

Auphonic wins, 7.2 to 5.2

iZotope RX only cuts silence, on its Advanced tier, and does not mix several tracks into one; Auphonic cuts both filler words and silence automatically and mixes multiple tracks into one balanced file. iZotope is desktop software you install and can buy outright as a one-time purchase, with no free plan; Auphonic runs in your browser with an ongoing free plan and a $13 a month cheapest paid tier. iZotope adds DAW plugin formats that Auphonic does not offer.

Pick Auphonic if you want filler and silence cutting plus a free plan.

Pick iZotope if you want a one-time purchase and don't mind manual editing.
