Quick disclosure: Clipmasters is our own service, so of course we put ourselves first. We will be honest about how we help podcasts, and about when a podcast specialist might suit you better.
You pay one monthly fee and get your own editor. You send your footage, we edit your episodes and clips, and you can send as many requests as you want. Requests and revisions are both unlimited.
We are not a podcast-only shop, but we run podcast post-production at real scale.
Take Combat Story. We have worked with Ryan Fugit’s team for nearly two years. A dedicated editor cuts the full video episodes, edits the audio podcast, drops in the ads, and hits every deadline so they can schedule with confidence.
Or take PodcastVideos.com, a studio that runs recording space by the hour. They came to us with the challenge of turning around hundreds of episodes a month at scale.
So we built their full post-production engine, starting with one editor and growing to three editors and a graphic designer within the first six months. That let them take on more clients without hiring in-house, while every show stayed on brand and shipped on time.
On top of that, we even produce our own podcast, Create, where we dive into the marketing and content strategies of some of the world’s biggest brands. You can check it out on our podcast page.
Most services hand your show to whoever is free that day. We do it differently.
All of our editors go through a rigorous testing process before we hire them, so we know they are skilled. But creativity is subjective, and a great editor can still be the wrong fit for your show.
So in your first month, your creative project manager tries multiple editors on your real episodes, at no extra cost, and you keep the one you like best. By month two, you have a dedicated editor who knows your show inside out.
Your editor works a set number of hours on your account each day, and they keep moving through your queue. They do not sit idle waiting for you to approve one episode first.
That is what keeps a weekly show on schedule, and what lets you add a second show without the backlog piling up.
When you need more, you move from a part-time editor to full-time, or add editors, so your capacity grows with your output.
Our 2026 average is closer to 14 hours. That covers everyday work like social clips, and even simple multi-cam episodes, which we can often turn around within a day.
If a video needs motion graphics, a complex intro, or a lot of B-roll your editor has to go and find, it takes longer, here and everywhere. You can read our guide to real turnaround times for the details.
If you are just starting out and only release the occasional episode, we are probably not for you yet. A per-episode service like the ones below will cost you less while you find your feet.
Once you are publishing on a regular schedule or scaling a studio, that is when a team like ours earns its keep.
We Edit Podcasts is a true full-service podcast shop. It handles audio editing, video editing, and even show notes and writing, so you can get everything done in one place.
Pricing is per episode. Audio editing starts at $440 a month for 2 episodes, and video editing starts at $980 a month for 2 episodes, with credit packs for more. Episodes can run up to 60 minutes.
The trade-off is cost. Once you stack video and writing on top of audio, the monthly bill adds up, and the per-episode model is less efficient if you pump out a lot of clips. For one or two shows that want everything handled in one place, it is a strong, tidy option.
NextDay Podcast is built around one promise: a 24-hour turnaround. If speed is what you care about most, that is the pitch.
It is per-episode and audio-first. Hobby starts around $90 an episode and Professional around $160 for a 30-minute episode, with bundles saving about 20% and monthly plans about 25%. Video and reels are available but priced separately, so confirm the quote.
For a host who wants fast, reliable audio turnaround at a clear per-episode price, it is a solid pick. For heavy video and clip output, the per-episode model gets expensive.
Podigy is the premium, growth-focused option. It does the editing (audio, video, and clips), but it wraps a growth strategy around it, which is why it costs more.
Plans run from $2,500 a month (Growth) to $4,500 (Authority) and $7,500 (Dominance), with Enterprise tiers beyond that. Quarterly billing saves about 10%.
If you have a real budget and you want a partner focused on growing the show, not just editing it, Podigy fits. For most podcasters, it is more than you need right now.
Podcast Magician is the budget-friendly pick. It works à la carte, with clips starting around $20, plus launch packages for new shows and monthly packages for ongoing work.
That flexibility is the appeal. You pay for what you need, which suits a new or small show watching its costs. Just note that the core monthly package prices are quote-based, so confirm them before you commit.
If you are starting out or keeping spend low, it is a sensible place to begin. As your output grows, an all-in-one studio usually works out cleaner.
Before you compare names, look at how each service charges. It tells you more about the fit than the headline price.
Per-episode (We Edit Podcasts, NextDay Podcast). You pay for each episode. This is simple and predictable for one or two shows, and the cheapest way to start. It gets expensive once you publish often or want lots of clips.
À la carte and packages (Podcast Magician). You buy clips and services individually, or in small packages. The most flexible and budget-friendly option, and a good way to start a new show.
Subscription with a dedicated team (Clipmasters, Podigy). You pay a flat monthly fee for ongoing editing. This wins once you publish on a schedule or run more than one show, because you get continuity, faster turnaround, and a predictable cost.
Five things separate a podcast editor that keeps you on air from one that slows you down.
Audio and video. A modern podcast is both. Make sure the service handles the full video episode and the audio version, not just one.
Turnaround against your schedule. If you publish weekly, your editor has to keep pace, every week. Check the real average, not just the headline.
Clips and repurposing. Most podcast growth now comes from short clips. Ask how many you get and whether they are included or extra.
Ad insertion and consistency. If you run ads or sponsor reads, confirm the editor inserts them. And if you run more than one show, a dedicated editor plus brand kits keeps each one looking consistent.
Your project files. If you want to own your editable files, confirm it before you pay.
It comes down to where your show is right now.
New or single show. Start lean. A per-episode service like NextDay Podcast, or à la carte clips from Podcast Magician, will cover you without overcommitting.
Publishing weekly and want it all handled. We Edit Podcasts bundles audio, video, and writing in one place for one or two shows.
Focused on growth and have a budget. Podigy wraps a growth strategy around the editing.
Running on a tight schedule, scaling shows, or building a studio. This is where a dedicated editor who keeps your queue moving, plus the capacity to add editors, matters most. That is what we built Clipmasters for.
