Airtape Studio vs NowMax

Airtape Studio is a browser-based remote recording studio for podcasts, interviews, testimonials, and solo screen recordings. Hosts and guests are recorded locally, and the host can download separate participant tracks after a session. Guests join from a browser link without installing software or creating an account. Airtape Solo records a microphone, camera, screen, or combination directly in the browser for export without a desktop app. Video recording and automatic transcription are supported. An agent can create or reschedule sessions, add invitees, and retrieve join links using scoped personal access tokens. Recordings are stored on servers in the European Union for a defined retention window and can be deleted when no longer needed; the recording page has no third-party trackers. The free plan costs nothing, with 2 recording hours/month, 2 participants total, and 7 days of storage. Airtape supplies recording files, so an RSS feed requires separate podcast hosting.

NowMax is a video calling app for remote interviews with experts, aimed at podcasters, content creators, journalists, and marketers. A host creates an interview and shares a link for guests to join from their devices. During the conversation, the host can remotely adjust guests’ audio and video settings without interrupting the interview. NowMax records audio and video locally on each participant’s device to reduce the effect of connection problems on recording quality. It advertises uncompressed 48 kHz WAV audio and video up to 4K at a constant frame rate. Separate audio and video tracks are exported in WAV and AVC/HEVC formats for editing tools including Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Microsoft Clipchamp. The service describes live recording status indicators and says recordings have no audio/video drift issues. Recording runs in a browser; listed platforms are Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Pricing is on request. The privacy policy says recordings are stored for as long as the interviewer requires them, and that internet traffic is protected by SSL encryption.
