THE VERDICT
Winner: Adobe Podcast.

Auphonic is the veteran mastering service: loudness targets, leveling, noise reduction, batch presets that broadcasters trust. If you publish on a schedule and want repeatable output, it is still excellent.

Adobe Podcast's Enhance Speech is free, one click, and often better on genuinely bad audio — at the cost of an occasionally over-processed, slightly synthetic result. Use Adobe to rescue, Auphonic to standardize.
