Alitu vs Craig

Alitu is a web-based tool for recording, editing, publishing and hosting podcasts. It can record audio and video calls in the product or accept uploads from a phone, Zoom or computer. Automatic production tools include background-noise removal, mixing, mastering, EQ, and removal of filler words and silence. Editing works through transcript text or a waveform; episodes can be assembled with drag-and-drop, and edits can be restored after publishing. Alitu offers one-click publishing to destinations including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, iHeartRadio and TuneIn. Hosting includes episode scheduling, statistics and a podcast website, with up to 1,000 monthly downloads free. Paid hosting tiers range from $10 a month for up to 10,000 downloads to $60 a month for up to 100,000. The main plan costs $38 a month or $380 a year, with two months free on annual billing. A seven-day trial includes full feature access and up to two hours of audio processing. The service requires an internet connection and recommends laptop or desktop use.

Craig is a Discord voice-channel recording bot that creates a separate audio track for each speaker. Recordings can be downloaded as FLAC or MPEG-4 AAC, or opened as Audacity projects or Adobe Audition sessions. A browser webapp can capture participants outside Discord and add their audio as tracks in the same recording. Craig records voice only, not livestream sound or video. The free plan allows up to six hours per recording, and recordings expire after seven days. Paid tiers add longer storage and other options: Tier 1 costs $1 a month, Tier 2 costs $4 a month, and Tier 3 costs $8 a month. Supporters can upload recordings automatically to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box. Tier 3 includes transcripts in WebVTT, SRT, or plain text. Craig marks recording with [RECORDING] in its nickname.
