Async
Browser platform for audio and video recording, editing, AI generation, subtitles, voices and team production.
Category: Audio & Voice · Audio editing & restoration
Features
Async, formerly Podcastle, combines recording and editing with AI tools for audio, video, images, voices and subtitles. Current plan cards name Kling, Happy Horse, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, Google Veo and Seedance 2.0 among others; model access and features vary by plan.
Essentials, Pro and Teams offer different monthly credit packages. Annual billing still distributes credits monthly, not as an annual pool. Recording and TTS hours are distinct from generative credits. The 4K feature listed for Pro refers to recording quality, not a blanket 4K guarantee for generated videos.
Video duration, output resolution, audio, lip sync and camera control depend on the model or tool. The current pricing view does not publish uniform limits across plans. AI dubbing and lip sync are listed on Teams and Business cards.
- Browser-based recording and audio/video editing
- AI generation and chat-based editing with plan-dependent credits
- Monthly credit distribution even with annual billing; no rollover
- Pro adds AI video enhancement; Teams also adds dubbing, lip sync and Brand Kit
- Official Free-credit and Essentials-recording allowances remain inconsistent

Limits
Source conflicts remain unresolved: credit help lists 10 Free credits under a monthly heading, while Creator help lists 150 lifetime credits. The current Essentials card lists 4 recording hours, while help lists 2. The website keeps annual-plan top-ups until subscription end, but credit help gives a blanket 2-month expiry. Cards are identified as the source without discarding other claims by majority vote. Credit use also depends on model, length, resolution and chat actions. Terms describe a 7-day trial that charges automatically unless cancelled in time. Users retain their content as against Async, but grant a broad license for service delivery, development and AI improvement; a training opt-out is provided. The privacy policy requires consent for voice cloning and separate consent for model improvement using voice data. Check recording and voice rights first.
