Podcast Editing Services: 14 Companies Compared

AudioFile Solutions publishes a testimonial from Heather Varian Foster of ControlScan, who says it provides "quality sound for my company's podcasts for a very affordable rate". A second, from Debra Larsen of Bethany House, appears on its editing page.

Its podcast FAQ (opens in a new tab) answers the editing-only question directly: if you have already recorded, the firm will edit the episode. Founded in 2002, it also records conference calls and webinars, supplies voiceover artists and transcribes by hand, which adds about three business days to an edit. Many of the reviews on its site concern transcription and recording.

Rich Brooks, host of The Agents of Change, says on Barevalue's editing page that he "can't imagine running" the show without it. Jennifer Rothschild of the 4:13 Podcast is also quoted.

The firm works out that a 30-minute episode costs less than $55, and new accounts start with $40 of credit. Sound engineers edit the audio, and the price includes revisions, an AI-generated transcript and show notes, and three social clips. Plan uploads around its queue: if you submit more than one hour or one episode in a day, the first is done on schedule and one more hour or episode follows each business day.

Music Radio Creative says Singapore Airlines, UNESCO and TEDx trust its work. Radina Gergyovska of the European Climate Foundation calls the team "a true partner in our podcast production".

The two audio services differ in size. Essential covers two speakers and ten standard edits an episode; Premium covers up to four speakers and 30 edits, though recordings with more than three speaker tracks are quoted separately. The product pages say editors typically allocate up to three times the episode's length in editing time, and that heavier jobs, such as removing every breath, are quoted separately. A dedicated producer and a shared project board come with each show, and one round of revisions is included. Video production is priced from £115 an episode.

The shows on Next Day Podcast's site include Coder Radio, The Van Life Series and Divided Argument, whose quote reads "Saved me over 10 hours every week". The We Got You podcast calls the service the "single best decision" it made to grow its brand.

Prices follow the length of the raw recording you send. Revisions are free and unlimited, each returned within another 24 hours, and the firm says complex projects can take a little longer. Video editing is priced separately.

Peachtree Sound lists shows it edits on its sample podcasts page (opens in a new tab), among them CLOC Talk Podcast and Remote Ruby. It is a recording studio near Atlanta that also does audio post-production for film, TV and radio, and its homepage names Apple, Walmart, Disney and YouTube among the studio's clients without saying which of that work was podcasting.

The 30-minute edit is labeled "Typical Corporate Podcast!" on its pricing page (opens in a new tab). Each edit removes mistakes, pauses and filler words, adds the intro, outro and sponsor breaks, and masters the episode to -16 LUFS. Show notes cost $69 for an episode of 45 minutes or less, and transcription is offered.

Saspod's case study on FP&A Today, the podcast of the financial analytics company Datarails, describes a show Saspod launched in 2022 and has produced since, and quotes Jonathan Marciano, Datarails' VP of brand and communications. The case was published in December 2024. That work covered launch, design and production, so it is broader than an edit.

The editing packages are bought once and do not renew. The editing page says experienced people edit every episode, without AI shortcuts, and the package calculator sets the price by the number of episodes, their length and add-ons such as transcription and clips.

Michael Yardney, host of The Michael Yardney Podcast, says on the Castos Productions page that "4 million downloads later, they're still a critical part of our team". Jane Portman of UI Breakfast and Dr. Mandy Lehto of Enough, the Podcast are also quoted.

Castos is mainly a podcast hosting platform, and Castos Productions is its in-house editing team. The service keeps the same account manager and editor on every episode, offers unlimited revisions that usually come back within 24 hours, and writes show notes, social posts and an email newsletter for each episode. You can pause or cancel the subscription.

The shows Freedom Podcasting lists as current clients include Top Traders Unplugged and Careers in Finance. It also quotes Lewis Howes, host of The School of Greatness ("I use Ian and his team"), and Thanh Pham of The Productivity Show, who says the firm handles what it does best, "editing and production".

The process is simple: you send the raw audio, and the edited episode is ready in three business days, with publishing available. The firm says everything it builds sits on your own web property, so the content stays under your control. Video podcast editing is offered per episode or monthly.

Podcast Engineers' 2022 BiggerPockets case study (opens in a new tab) says the real estate network outsourced its editing to the firm. The firm reports that the show went from 50,000 to a million downloads a month and from one show to four, and adds: "Hey, all we did was edit their podcasts." Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, is quoted on the homepage.

The $395 audio package adds metadata tagging, publishing and scheduling, and planning calls to the edit. Video, clips, show notes, transcripts and episode images are not in the audio package. Custom plans start at $325 a month. The firm says it has helped shows since 2013.

Chuck Carroll of The Exam Room Podcast says Podcast Monkey has been a "superb" producer of the show's audio and its social reels. Brendan Gay of the Send It Show and Danny Gavin are also quoted.

The audio editing page describes flat-rate, on-demand editing by vetted audio engineers: you upload the raw audio and receive the edited episode with clips ready to share. The rest of the site sells video podcast editing, YouTube management, reels and launch help.

Resonate's audio production page names Amazon, Salesforce, Stanford, Honda, Mars, EA Sports and AbbVie among its audio clients, and describes the team behind more than 50,000 podcast episodes since 2014. It also quotes the host of To Live and Die in LA, who says the team "worked with us and our deadline to make sure our episodes were finished on time".

The audio page lists three tiers: Basic is mixing and mastering only, with no content editing, while Plus and Pro add content edits, and every tier is mastered to -16 LUFS. You upload through the Resonate app and approve or comment there. Its terms (opens in a new tab) list rush fees, subject to capacity, of $75 for Basic and $150 for Plus and Pro. Posting on your behalf costs $40 an episode unless you host with Resonate, and several episodes sent together can add 2 to 3 days. Full-service production is a separate offer, which its homepage puts at $2,100 to $6,500 a month.

Nicola Wealth says on We Edit Podcasts' case study page (opens in a new tab) that the team is "consistently on time and available to support with any questions or changes". Scott Power of Crewest Studios says his company started with one podcast and now has five "on our own network" with the firm's support.

The firm reports serving more than 4,000 clients since 2015. Subscriptions can be paused or canceled before the renewal date, and credits packages suit a show without a regular schedule. Its pricing FAQ says episodes sent for editing only come back within 48 hours.

Podigy's ASCO case study (opens in a new tab) describes one dedicated editor across the American Society of Clinical Oncology's podcast portfolio of more than 190 episodes a year. Episodes are delivered into ASCO's SharePoint libraries and pass through its editorial approval before publishing. The firm also produces the CONEXPO-CON/AGG podcast for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, building stakeholder edit rounds into the schedule.

Higher tiers cost $4,500 and $7,500 a month for two and four episodes, and multi-show work is quoted separately. For enterprise buyers Podigy says it supports master service agreements, certificates of insurance, vendor onboarding and security questionnaires.

Pro Podcast Solutions quotes Randall Smith, co-founder of CUInsight, whose company has expanded to three podcasts produced by the firm. Brian Milner, CEO of Mountain Goat Software, says that when the company sends its files to the editors, "a human will listen to every moment". Jason Makar of Hexagon is also quoted.

Clients upload raw recordings through a portal, and a dedicated editor works on each episode. For regulated firms, the review process lets your compliance team approve scripts and final episodes before they are published, and NDAs are standard. Volume can be scaled up or down with 30 days' notice. The firm reports more than 10,000 episodes since 2013.
