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.

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.
