The verdict	Record, clean, and ship from one login, for people who will not open a traditional editor.
Free tier	No free tier listed. A trial may be available.
Best for	Busy solo hosts, coaches, and non-technical weekly shows that want one app that records, cleans, and also publishes and hosts, including a simple site and the feed the apps read.
Not the best fit	Audio-drama and documentary producers who need layered sound design, or anyone who wants a free forever desk.
The gotcha	Built-in hosting is free only to 1,000 downloads a month, then you pay extra or send the file to another host.
