| The verdict | Local guest tracks in the browser, now sold with Descript editing in the same family. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Remote interview and panel shows that need separate tracks and a guest who only clicks a link. Also studios already in the Descript family. |
| Not the best fit | Hosts who need unlimited recording hours, or who refuse another monthly seat. A solo narrative that never records a guest does not need this. |
| The gotcha | Descript plans to replace SquadCast with Rooms eventually, but has not announced a sunset date. Confirm which recorder your current plan includes. |
