What it is

Hilite is a browser-based podcast platform for recording, editing, enhancing, publishing, and sharing episodes. It runs in any modern browser and supports local recording, video recording, separate participant tracks, and WAV and MP3 audio export. Transcription turns recordings into text that creators can edit to change an episode. AI audio enhancement cleans background noise and balances levels, and AI-generated transcripts are included in every plan. Pro and Business add AI-generated titles, descriptions, and show notes, plus one-click distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Pro includes analytics and listener insights; Business includes advanced analytics. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one episode per month, up to 30 minutes of recording and enhancement, one collaborator, and one file. Pro costs $19 a month, billed monthly, for 10 episodes monthly, up to four hours of recording and enhancement, five collaborators, and unlimited files. Business costs $49 a month, billed monthly, with unlimited episodes, up to 20 hours of recording and enhancement, unlimited collaborators, and unlimited version history. Each plan starts with a seven-day trial; no card is required and the trial does not trigger an automatic charge.
