Overview

EchoWave Podcast Editor is an audio and video editor for podcast recordings, best suited to solo creators, interview hosts and production teams working with recorded material. Its transcript-linked cuts and multitrack timeline make a strong case for shaping episodes and clips in one editor, but it is not the right fit for remote guest recording or noise cleanup.

Key features

Transcript-led edits

Word-level timestamps let editors delete transcript text to cut the corresponding audio. EchoWave can also find filler words, repeated words and long pauses and remove them in one pass. That makes dialogue cleanup more direct; it does not remove background noise or enhance recordings to studio sound, so those problems need another solution.

Tracks and recording

Separate tracks for voice, music and sponsor reads, with magnetic clip snapping, give editors room to organize a finished episode without flattening its parts into one sequence. The browser recorder captures a solo microphone, webcam or screen. It does not record remote multi-guest sessions, so hosts who need to bring guests into a recording should choose a separate recording setup.

Video and exports

EchoWave offers 93 visualizer styles, 176 caption presets including karaoke styles, and subtitle translation into 86 languages. These options suit creators adapting podcast material for social video and multilingual captions. The free plan exports 720p video with a small badge; paid plans remove the watermark and add audio-only exports. Pro raises video quality to 4K and adds WAV and FLAC exports.

Formats, platforms and account controls

Imports include MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, MKV, MP3, WAV, FLAC, PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC and TIFF, giving projects room for both audio and visual assets. EchoWave runs in modern browsers, has Mac, Windows and Linux apps, and offers installable full-screen apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. It says connections use TLS, passwords are hashed with scrypt, and two-factor authentication is supported. Users can view, export and delete account data; the company says it handles data in line with GDPR and CCPA. Support inquiries typically receive a reply within 24 business hours.

Pricing

EchoWave is freemium. Its paid plans start at $9/user/mo (annual), while monthly billing costs more.

Plan	Price and terms	What it includes
Free	0.00 USD per free; free forever	720p exports with a small badge, up to 60 minutes per video and 24-hour video storage. Audio-only exports are paid.
Basic	$9/month, billed annually; $19/month, billed monthly	1080p exports, no watermark, no upload size limits and 30-day video storage.
Pro	$17/month, billed annually; $39/month, billed monthly	Up to 4K and 60 fps, AI subtitles in 86 languages, AI voiceovers and voice cloning, and extended video storage. Pro adds WAV and FLAC exports.
Business	$69/month, billed annually; $99/month, billed monthly	Up to 8K and 120 fps, team seats and collaboration, unlimited renders, storage and exports, dedicated support and white-label options.

Free is a useful way to try the editing workflow, but the 60-minute video cap, one-day storage and watermarked 720p output make it a poor fit for polished delivery or longer-lived projects. Basic is the practical step up for creators who need clean 1080p exports and 30-day storage; annual billing lowers the listed monthly price, while monthly billing offers a more flexible term at $19/month. Pro makes sense when higher-resolution video, multilingual subtitles or its added voice tools matter. Business is for teams that need seats and collaboration or the substantially higher export and storage limits. The published plans do not state a trial period.

Platforms

EchoWave supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. Browser access plus desktop and mobile apps gives creators options across devices, though remote multi-guest recording remains outside its recorder's capabilities.

Who it's for

Choose EchoWave if your work starts with recorded podcast audio and you want to edit speech from its transcript, organize multiple tracks, then create captioned or visualizer-led video. Solo creators can begin on Free, while Basic or Pro better suit regular publishing where watermark-free output, longer storage or higher-resolution exports matter. Production teams may find Business's seats and collaboration useful.

Look elsewhere if your workflow depends on recording multiple remote guests inside the editor or cleaning up noisy audio: EchoWave provides neither remote multi-guest recording nor noise removal and studio-sound enhancement.

Pros and cons

Pros: Word-level transcript cuts and one-pass detection of fillers, repeated words and long pauses can streamline speech editing.
Pros: Dedicated voice, music and sponsor tracks with magnetic snapping support more organized episode edits.
Pros: A wide range of visualizer and caption styles, plus translation into 86 languages, supports varied clip treatments.
Pros: The free plan has no listed charge, and paid plans remove the watermark; Pro adds 4K video and WAV and FLAC exports.
Cons: Free exports carry a badge, cap video at 720p and 60 minutes, and keep video for only 24 hours; audio-only exports are paid.
Cons: No remote multi-guest recording limits its usefulness for interviewers who need an all-in-one recording and editing workflow.
Cons: No noise removal or studio-sound enhancement leaves noisy recordings to be addressed elsewhere.

Alternatives

For a broader starting point, browse AI Podcast Editing Software or AI Audiogram Makers; Video Collage Maker Software and Video Intro Maker Software are adjacent categories for creators focused on those outputs.

Headliner is worth considering if you want unlimited video clips and captioned clips on its free plan, including one unwatermarked audiogram each month and 1080p videos. reap may suit a clipping workflow: its free plan provides one hour per month for clipping and captions, but exports are watermarked at 720p and projects expire after seven days. For no-account, no-card use and no video limit up to 4K without a watermark, consider SLOVO.

Podcast Video is another iOS option. AudioGong has a free tier limited to one-minute exports with a rotating watermark, while its per-export option allows up to five minutes. Audiogram may fit creators who need a free allowance of two videos per month and captions up to 60 seconds, or a paid plan with higher limits. Clipperz offers a free tier with 80 Standard credits per month and seven-day clip retention, with a watermark and no scheduler or custom branding. Waveloop is an alternative available for iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.

Verdict

EchoWave is a good choice for podcast creators who want transcript-driven speech edits, multitrack control and captioned video in a cross-platform editor. Its decisive advantage is the link between transcript changes and audio cuts, backed by flexible clip styling. Choose another tool if remote guest recording or noise cleanup is essential, or if the free export and storage caps do not suit your publishing schedule.
