BytePlus Voice and Background Audio Separation vs Denoise

BytePlus Voice and Background Audio Separation is an API service that processes audio or video files into vocal and background tracks. Drama and Narrate scenes can further separate vocals, music and sound effects. BytePlus lists video editing, vocal enhancement, video translation and voice cloning, and ASR optimization as use cases. Requests create asynchronous separation tasks, checked through polling or event notifications. Inputs must be publicly accessible HTTP or HTTPS URLs, with MP4, FLV, TS, AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, MP3, M4A and WAV supported. Outputs can be AAC, MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, with AAC as the default; result URLs remain valid for 24 hours. The listed plan costs $0.01 as a one-time purchase, billed per minute of input source duration. Storage and VOD CDN distribution may add fees. The service is available through API, Linux, macOS and web, with Console, CLI and OpenAPI deployment methods.

Denoise is an audio cleanup app for Android and iOS that uses an on-device neural network to reduce wind, traffic, hiss, hum, and crowd noise in voice memos, interviews, and videos. Processing runs locally, including in airplane mode, and a one-minute clip typically takes 5–10 seconds. Users can import recordings from Voice Memos, Photos, Files, or an app share sheet; supported inputs include MP4, M4A, MP3, and WAV. The free plan lets users import, process, and hear a before-and-after preview, but saving and export require Pro. Pro can export M4A, MP3, or WAV, replace audio inside a video, restore detail in clipped, muffled, or distant recordings, and separate vocals from instrumental tracks on-device. Audio tools include a 5-band EQ with presets and automatic LUFS normalization. There is no file-length limit, including for recordings up to a three-hour lecture. Routes Software says recordings are neither uploaded nor stored, and the app has no user accounts. Google Firebase collects anonymous usage analytics and crash and diagnostic reports. Pro costs $2.99 a month or $14.99, paid once for lifetime access.
