The free Descript alternative for podcasts — edit your episode by text
Descript's free plan: 1 media hour a month. Eziclip cuts by transcript with no hour cap.
Choose Eziclip if
You keep hitting the 60 media minutes a month cap
You don't want to pay from $16 a month to cut filler
You want your episode private — it never leaves your device
You record remote guests and need Overdub
You edit episodes with a team
Descript made editing audio like a document the standard way to cut a podcast, but its free plan allows 60 media minutes a month and limits filler-word removal and Studio Sound, with paid plans from $16/user a month billed yearly.
If what you need is the core edit-by-typing job — cut the rambles, kill the ums, tighten the dead air, drop a flubbed take — Eziclip does it here for free, in your browser, and hands you a lossless WAV.

Questions
Yes. Eziclip's podcast editor transcribes your episode in your browser and lets you cut the audio by deleting words, then strip filler and silence in one tap. It exports a clean, lossless WAV with no account and no paid tier gating the download.
Yes. Drop in an MP3, M4A or WAV (or a video, it uses the audio); transcription and every cut happen in your browser. Descript transcribes media in its cloud.
Descript's free plan includes 60 media minutes a month, 100 AI credits one time, and limited Studio Sound and filler-word removal. Watermark-free export needs a paid plan, from $16/user/month billed yearly.
Descript has things Eziclip doesn't: AI voice cloning (Overdub), remote recording with guests, its AI co-editor and team projects. For teams that record and edit together, Descript is the better fit.
Studio editing and every export stay free, clean, and unmetered. An agent task is one editing job — from the first change your agent makes until it stops for 30 minutes (or hits 8 hours). Free gets 10 tasks per rolling 30 days; Plus is unlimited agents, unlimited boards, AI board notes, and commercial use.
