| The verdict | Enhance Speech is the single best free rescue tool for bad audio, and the rest is optional. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Anyone with a recording made in a bad room, on a laptop mic, or over a wobbly connection. |
| Not the best fit | Audio that is already clean. Enhance will process it anyway and make it sound processed. |
| The gotcha | Enhance is aggressive. Music, laughter, and room tone can come out sounding underwater. |
