| The verdict | Audio-first audiograms and automated captioned clips from podcast episodes. | Turn a chosen audio excerpt into a captioned audiogram with separate upload and export allowances. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Audio-first shows that need a picture for social and YouTube. Weekly hosts without a camera, and marketing people who need a moving sound bar this week. | Audio-only shows that need social clips and do not have video to cut from. |
| Not the best fit | A production that needs a full illustrated video episode or precise custom scene editing rather than short social clips. | Video podcasts. You already have footage that will outperform a waveform animation. |
| The gotcha | After one clean audiogram a month, Forever Free marks the file. | Revisions can consume additional exports. Verify the allowance and current signup version; some calls to action point to a beta domain. |

| Pricing notes | Pricing page is the source of record. Educators, students, and 501(c)(3) can apply for a free upgrade. | Both uploaded minutes and the number of exported videos are limited. The page displays discounted and higher prices together; a regular, non-promotional billing baseline needs confirmation. |
