AI podcast post-production service that removes filler words, background noise, mouth sounds and silences and can transcribe episodes; priced by processed audio hours, with a subscription from $11/month for 10 hours. A one-time 30-minute free trial is offered instead of a permanent free plan.

Profile

Cleanvoice is an AI podcast and video post-production tool that automatically strips filler words, stutters, mouth sounds, background noise, and dead air out of raw recordings, then returns a studio-cleaned file plus a transcript and show notes. It targets podcasters, video creators, and agencies who don't want to manually edit every "um" and lip-smack out of an episode. Pricing is usage-based and billed per hour of processed audio, with a 30-minute free trial and hourly rates that fall from roughly $2.20 to $0.90 as volume grows.

Who builds it

Cleanvoice AI was founded in 2022 by solo founder Adrian Spataru, who started podcasting in 2020 and grew frustrated that existing editing tools handled non-English accents poorly. The company is based in Bucharest, Romania. It says it serves 15,000+ podcasters directly, plus 30+ established brands that integrate its editing engine through the API for high-volume production.

Core features

  • Filler word remover — cuts "um," "uh," "like" and similar fillers; officially trained for English, French, German, Romanian and Arabic, with reasonable results on related languages and accents such as Irish, Australian and German English
  • Background noise remover — strips traffic, barking dogs, doors, wind, static and other ambient sound; this and the silence/mouth-sound tools work on any language since they analyze audio patterns, not speech content
  • Silence and dead-air remover, mouth-sound/breath remover, and stutter remover
  • Studio Sound audio enhancer — balances levels and removes echo/distortion for a "studio-quality" master
  • Automatic transcription plus AI-generated podcast summaries and show notes
  • Multitrack support for multi-guest recordings, and a REST API (docs.cleanvoice.ai) with Python/JavaScript SDKs and Make.com/n8n integrations

Pricing

  • Free trial: 30 minutes of audio/video processing, no credit card required

  • Custom/Enterprise plan for 200+ hours/month with dedicated API endpoints and priority support
  • Minimum billing unit is 1 minute of processed audio; check the current pricing page as rates can change

Who it's for

Cleanvoice fits solo podcasters and small shows that just need the 30-minute free trial or a low-volume pay-as-you-go pack, and it scales to networks and agencies editing dozens of episodes a month via the 100-hour subscription or a custom API plan. Its billing model rewards regular producers: a weekly show that processes a few hours a month is cheapest on a subscription tier, while someone editing a handful of one-off interviews may prefer the pay-as-you-go credits that stay valid for two years. It's less suited to anyone needing filler-word detection in languages outside its officially supported set, or to pure transcription-only workflows where a dedicated speech-to-text API would be cheaper. Files are kept for 7 days after processing and the service is GDPR-compliant with EU data storage, which matters for European studios and agencies handling client audio under contract.

Frequently asked questions

What does Cleanvoice cost?

Cleanvoice bills per hour of processed audio, either as pay-as-you-go credits or a monthly subscription. Pay-as-you-go credits run $11 for 5 hours ($2.20/hour) down to $45 for 30 hours ($1.50/hour), while subscriptions start at $11/month for 10 hours ($1.10/hour) and drop to $0.90/hour on the 100-hour/$90 plan. High-volume users (200+ hours/month) get custom Enterprise pricing with dedicated API endpoints. Check the current pricing page, as rates can change.

Is Cleanvoice free?

Cleanvoice offers a 30-minute free trial of audio/video processing with no credit card required, giving access to all editing features during that period. Beyond those 30 minutes, every additional minute is billed either from pay-as-you-go credits or a subscription plan — there is no permanent free tier.

What does Cleanvoice actually remove from audio?

Cleanvoice removes filler words ("um," "uh," "like"), stutters, mouth sounds and breaths, background noise (traffic, dogs, doors, wind, static), and long silences/dead air, then applies a "Studio Sound" enhancer that balances levels and removes echo or distortion. It also generates a transcript and an AI podcast summary with show notes as part of the same job. Noise, silence, and mouth-sound removal work regardless of language, but filler-word detection is officially trained only for English, French, German, Romanian and Arabic.

Does Cleanvoice have an API?

Yes. Cleanvoice publishes a REST API (base URL api.cleanvoice.ai/v2) with a job-submission endpoint (POST /v2/edits) and a status endpoint (GET /v2/edits/{id}), plus Python and JavaScript SDKs and no-code integrations for Make.com and n8n. The API covers the same filler-word, noise, silence, mouth-sound and transcription features as the web app, and Cleanvoice says over 30 established brands use it for scaled, automated podcast/video editing.

Can I use Cleanvoice's output commercially?

Cleanvoice's pricing and features pages don't spell out a separate commercial-use license or restriction, and both the free-trial output and paid output are produced the same way. In practice commercial use appears to be the norm: Cleanvoice markets itself as being used by 30+ established brands via its API for production-scale editing, alongside 15,000+ individual podcasters.

Cleanvoice vs Auphonic — how do they compare?

Both are usage-based, per-hour podcast audio cleanup tools, but they differ in free-tier shape and focus: Cleanvoice gives a one-time 30-minute free trial, while Auphonic gives a recurring 2 hours of free processing every month. Feature-wise, Cleanvoice leads with AI filler-word, stutter and mouth-sound removal (currently trained for English, French, German, Romanian and Arabic), while Auphonic's strength is its Intelligent Leveler, loudness normalization and multitrack mixing, with paid tiers ranging from an S plan (9 hours/month) up to XXL (250 hours/month). Podcasters who most want filler-word cleanup tend to prefer Cleanvoice; those who most want loudness/leveling and multitrack mixdown workflows tend to prefer Auphonic.
