Alitu review: Podcast recording, editing and hosting in one web app for podcasters

What Alitu does

Records podcast calls, cleans up the audio, lets you edit by text or waveform, and publishes episodes to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with hosting and a podcast website included.

Alitu is a podcast production tool that puts recording, cleanup, editing and publishing in one web app. You can record audio and video calls through a private studio link, or upload a file in any format. Once audio is in, Alitu starts removing noise and polishing the voice. Magic Filters can also take out filler words and silence.

Episodes can be edited with text or a simple waveform, and the vendor says edits are non-destructive, so they can be undone even after publishing. A drag and drop episode builder works with royalty-free music. Alitu can also generate show notes with AI and produce transcripts in 17 languages. A podcast website is part of the package.

For publishing, the homepage says an episode can go to Apple Podcasts and Spotify with one click. Hosting is free up to 1000 downloads per month, and the pricing page says that beyond that it is $10 for up to 10,000 downloads per month.

Pricing is a single paid plan at $38/month. The pricing page also says that paying annually gets 2 months free. New accounts get a 7-day free trial that processes up to 2 hours of audio with full access to all features. The pricing page describes a refund guarantee up to 30 days from the first charge, no contracts, and a pause of up to 3 months. One account is designed to edit one podcast at a time.

Our take

Alitu fits podcasters who want recording, cleanup, editing, hosting and a website in one subscription rather than several separate tools. The pricing is simple: one plan at $38/month, with hosting included up to 1000 downloads per month. The trade-offs are stated on the official pages. There is no free plan, only a 7-day trial that covers up to 2 hours of audio. Hosting beyond the included downloads costs extra. One account is designed to edit one podcast at a time, so people running several shows may need to check how that applies to them. Recording is recommended for up to 10 participants. The pages mention only a web version, and they do not mention an API. This summary is based only on the official pages.
