Alitu is an all-in-one podcast production suite (record, cleanup, edit, host, publish) for a flat monthly fee. AudioLinter is a WordPress-native loudness/true-peak/dead-air check and one-click fix inside the post editor. Here is how to choose.
AudioLinter and Alitu are not really the same category of tool. Alitu is an all-in-one podcast production suite — recording, automated audio cleanup, a drag-and-drop episode builder and podcast hosting — for one flat monthly fee. AudioLinter is a narrow, WordPress-native quality-control step: it measures loudness, true peak and dead air on an episode and fixes loudness with one click, right in the post editor. Choose Alitu if you want to produce and host the whole show in one place; choose AudioLinter if you already produce and publish through WordPress and want a final QC gate before an episode goes live.
| AudioLinter | Alitu | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Inside the WordPress editor | Standalone web app |
| Primary job | Editorial QC + loudness fix before publishing | Recording, cleanup, episode assembly, hosting |
| Recording / guest interviews | No | Yes (personal studio link, multiple guests) |
| Loudness normalization | Yes (−16 LUFS / −1 dBTP) | Yes, as part of automated cleanup |
| True-peak check | Yes | Not a standalone metric surfaced to the user |
| Dead-air / silence flagging | Yes, with timestamps | Not the focus |
| Podcast hosting | No — publishes through your existing WordPress setup | Yes, included up to a download allowance |
| Pricing model | Free analysis tier + per-plan paid tier | Single flat monthly/annual tier |

Produce and assemble the episode in Alitu, publish it to WordPress, then run AudioLinter on the published post as the last checkpoint — loudness, true peak and dead air — before the episode goes out to feeds.
Only for one specific job: verifying and fixing loudness, true peak and dead air on an episode you already produced and publish through WordPress. Alitu is a full production suite — recording, automated cleanup, episode assembly and podcast hosting — that AudioLinter does not replace.
No. AudioLinter has no recording studio, no episode builder and no podcast hosting. It is a quality-control and loudness-fix step that runs inside the WordPress post editor, for creators who already produce and host their show elsewhere (often via a plugin such as Podlove or Seriously Simple Podcasting).
Alitu is a single all-in-one tier billed monthly or annually, covering production and hosting up to a download allowance. AudioLinter has a free analysis tier and a paid per-plan tier (a set number of daily analyses and one-click fixes) — it prices the QC step alone, not full production.
Yes. Produce and assemble the episode in Alitu, publish it to WordPress as usual, then run AudioLinter on the published post as a final loudness/true-peak/dead-air checkpoint before the episode goes out to feeds.
