Async
Chat-based AI video and podcast editor, formerly Podcastle, that cuts, captions, cleans audio, generates media and records remote interviews in one browser app.
About Async
Creators who record podcasts, interviews and social videos spend hours trimming filler and pauses, cleaning audio, adding captions and cutting clips across several separate tools.
Who it’s for
- Podcasters and video creators who record, edit and publish their own shows
- Small marketing teams turning long recordings into short clips, dubbed versions and ads
When to consider it
Consider Async when you want to describe edits in chat (remove filler and bad takes, cut to music, add captions, make short clips) and also keep the former Podcastle recording studio, Magic Dust audio cleanup, text-to-speech and podcast hosting in the same workspace.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- The free plan includes 10 AI credits and 1 hour of media uploads to the AI chat, both lifetime limits. Essentials is $19.99 a month for 450 credits, Pro $39.99 for 1,200 credits and Teams $84.99 per creator for 3,000 credits ($11.99, $23.99 and $49.99 a month with yearly billing); Business is custom.
- Video, image, music and avatar generation all draw on the same credit pool at per-model rates (for example 18 credits per 4 seconds of Seedance 2.0 at 720p), AI subtitles are English-only below the Teams plan, and dubbing with lip-sync starts at Teams.
