Cleanfeed

Cleanfeed is browser-based software for real-time, high-definition audio in long-distance professional interviews and recording sessions. All versions provide unlimited recording time, capturing audio live rather than syncing it later. The free Lite plan supports two guests, one local audio source, and mono remote audio. Pro supports up to 32 guests, stereo remote audio, four local sources, and multitrack recording, with each guest on an isolated track; its multitrack limit is 32 tracks or 16 stereo tracks. Pro also adds privacy controls, markers and notes, studio playback, live audio repair, auxiliary outputs, and email support. Cinema is listed at $2,500 a year and includes up to 16 guests, DCI 2K 60fps centre-stage video, Gallery, and dedicated server capacity. Audio exports in WAV, and video recording is available. The studio runs in a browser, with Chrome on Mac and Windows and Chromium on Linux preferred. Cleanfeed says it uses end-to-end encryption for audio and does not retain media copies on its servers. Free access is available, with paid plans from $12/mo.

Cleanfeed offers a free entry point and Pro tools for multitrack remote sessions. Check its browser restrictions and lack of local recording against your workflow.

Cleanfeed suits podcast, radio, broadcast, voice, film, television, and commercial production teams that need browser-based remote recording. Pro is aimed at users who need separate participant tracks or its additional production tools.

Cleanfeed is a browser-based studio for live, long-distance audio sessions, built for podcasting, radio, broadcast, voice work and commercial production. It suits teams that need guests recorded as a session happens, especially when separate tracks matter. Its strongest proposition is unlimited live recording with serious Pro routing and production controls; local recording and mobile hosting limitations narrow its audience.

Overview

Cleanfeed runs recording sessions in a browser and supports up to 32 participants, with WAV export and video recording. Chrome on Mac and Windows, plus Chromium on Linux, are the preferred studio environments. Firefox and Safari are guest-only, and studio support for them is best-efforts, so hosts should not build a critical workflow around those browsers.

Every version records live rather than synchronizing media later, and recording time is unlimited. That is useful for long interviews, radio links and extended production sessions, although fair-use terms prohibit disproportionate bandwidth or resource consumption, including large numbers of streams or constant long-term use. There is no local recording, which removes an important backup option for producers who need a copy captured on their own machine.

Key features

Cleanfeed Pro puts each guest on an isolated track, up to 32 tracks or 16 stereo tracks. Stereo remote audio and four local audio sources give a multitrack workflow room for multiple microphones or inputs; Lite is limited to mono remote audio and one local source. Pro also adds privacy controls, markers and notes, studio playback, live audio repair and auxiliary outputs. Auxiliary outputs can send guest audio to another application, with maker guidance for Adobe Audition and virtual audio devices on Windows and macOS. These tools make Pro the practical choice for editing, routing and live production rather than simple two-person calls.

Cleanfeed says it keeps no copies of media on its servers and uses end-to-end encryption when sending and receiving audio. Some Cinema video features use point-to-point encryption. The UK-based company says it follows GDPR standards and exchanges personal data using TLS. That combination is reassuring for professional sessions, while paid Pro and Cinema customers receive email support; support requests can include account details and examples or screenshots.

Safari on iPhone and iPad is in beta for guests only. Hosting from those devices is not supported, so mobile access is a way to bring in a participant, not to run a production.

Pricing

Cleanfeed Lite — free. Lite allows two guests, unlimited recording time, one local audio source, mono remote audio and basic features. It is a sensible way to handle occasional, small interviews, but the guest and input limits make it a poor fit for regular multitrack work.

Cleanfeed Pro — $12 a month. The individual plan is billed at $12 monthly and includes 32 guests, multitrack recording, stereo remote audio, four local audio sources and email support. Businesses are billed $36 monthly; yearly renewal receives an additional 20% discount. Pro is the value tier for serious podcasters and production teams, provided browser hosting and the absence of local recording fit the workflow.

Cleanfeed Cinema — $2,500 a year. The first seat is billed $2,500 yearly and includes 16 guests, DCI 2K 60fps centre-stage video, Gallery and dedicated server capacity tailored to you. It targets professional video productions rather than ordinary audio sessions.

Cleanfeed Pro Enterprise — custom pricing. This plan is for organizations requiring five or more seats over the year, with custom branding and payment options. It makes sense when account scale and organizational presentation matter more than a published per-seat price.

Platforms

Cleanfeed lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. In practice, the studio is browser-based: Chrome is preferred on Mac and Windows, and Chromium on Linux. iPhone and iPad Safari access remains guest-only beta, while Firefox and Safari are not dependable host platforms.

Who it's for

Choose Cleanfeed for live podcast interviews, radio and broadcast links, voice sessions, film and television work, and commercial productions that benefit from isolated guest tracks and live audio routing. Lite suits occasional two-guest recording. Pro is the better fit for recurring sessions, multiple inputs and post-production control. Cinema is aimed at high-end video work with dedicated capacity. Look elsewhere if local capture is mandatory, if hosts must work from phones or tablets, or if all participants need reliable studio support in Firefox or Safari.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited live recording on every plan; Pro isolated tracks up to 32 tracks or 16 stereo tracks; useful markers, notes, repair, playback and routing tools; stated end-to-end audio encryption and no retained media copies; WAV export and sessions for up to 32 people.
• Cons: No local recording; Lite is limited to two guests, one local source and mono remote audio; mobile devices cannot host; Firefox and Safari studio support is best-efforts; fair-use rules restrict disproportionate resource consumption.

Verdict

Cleanfeed is a strong recommendation for audio professionals who need live, long-form browser sessions, isolated guest tracks and Pro-grade routing without a recording-time ceiling. Choose Pro for recurring multitrack production; choose Lite for occasional two-guest work. Look elsewhere when local recording, dependable mobile hosting or full Firefox/Safari studio support is non-negotiable.
