Top 20 podcast editing services in 2026

By Vadim Soin, founder of DoneEdit · Updated November 9, 2026

Short answer

Podcast editing services range from fast per-episode editors such as Next Day Podcast and Podcast Engineers to full production agencies such as Resonate Recordings, Lower Street and Podigy. Pick by episode length, number of guests and whether you need video and clips. DoneEdit publishes this list and ranks itself #1, but only for short solo video episodes; for interviews, start at #2.

Disclosure: This list is published by DoneEdit; we ranked our own service #1. Everything else is ranked by our editorial judgement for the use case in the title. No company paid to be included, and we don't publish ratings or prices we couldn't read on the provider's own page.

Most podcasts need more than cutting: audio cleanup, multiple speakers, video, clips and show notes. The services below cover that range. We've been explicit about our own limits: DoneEdit edits one English speaker on camera, up to 10 minutes raw, so it suits solo video episodes, trailers and updates, not interview shows.

How we ranked

  • Fit for the use case in the title. We asked: would this help a creator or small business with this specific job?
  • Clarity of what you get. Providers that publish their scope, turnaround or pricing ranked above those that don't.
  • Verified existence. We opened every website on November 9, 2026. Entries link to the provider's own site.
  • No invented data. We only list a price if we read it on the provider's own page that day, and we don't show star ratings or customer counts.
  • Our bias, stated plainly. DoneEdit is our service, so it's #1. Judge it against the others on the facts listed.

How to choose a podcast editor

  1. Count your speakers. Multi-speaker shows need multitrack syncing and levelling; check the provider does this.
  2. Audio-only or video? Video podcasts need camera switching and more time. Make sure video is included, not an add-on you discover later.
  3. Decide on extras. Show notes, transcripts, clips and publishing are often separate tiers.
  4. Check turnaround. Next Day Podcast is built around 24 hours; Podigy states 5 business days. Pick what matches your release schedule.
  5. Try one episode. Send a typical episode, not your best-recorded one.

When to use software instead

If you'd rather edit yourself, an automated tool like Auphonic handles levelling and noise, and text-based editors like Descript speed up cutting. See our Top 20 Descript alternatives.

FAQ

How much does podcast editing cost?

It varies by length, speakers and video. On Upwork, editors typically charge $6–$25 an hour for video editing; agencies usually quote per episode or per month. Many podcast agencies don't publish prices, so ask for a quote on one real episode.

Does DoneEdit edit podcasts?

Only short solo video episodes: one English speaker, up to 10 minutes of raw footage. It doesn't edit multi-speaker interview podcasts.

What is the best podcast editing service for B2B?

We Edit Podcasts, Podigy, Content Allies, Castos Productions, Lower Street and Pro Podcast Solutions all describe B2B or brand podcasts as their focus.
