What isn't working
Three gaps in Recast Studio for agencies cutting client short-form.
Written from the agency side: what gets in the way when the deliverable is short-form video for clients. If one of these is your bottleneck, Clipflow is built around it.
- Audiograms only — no TikTok-native vertical edits from the same source.
- No multi-platform auto-publish; clips download and re-upload everywhere.
- No agency-grade client review, and no separate workspace per client brand.
What Clipflow does instead
Three reasons to pick it for client work.
Vertical short-form + horizontal long-form from one video recording
REASON 01
Native publishing covers every platform Recast doesn’t auto-publish to
REASON 02
Bundled AI keeps per-clip costs predictable on heavy weeks
REASON 03

Common questions
Recast Studio vs Clipflow — answered.
Real questions from people switching to Clipflow. No spin — if Recast Studio is the better tool for a specific job, we say so.
Can Clipflow produce audiograms like Recast Studio?
No. There is no waveform or audiogram renderer in Clipflow — clips are cut out of a video recording, so an audio-only episode is not accepted at all. If audiograms are the job, Recast is the better tool and we would rather say so here than after you have uploaded an episode.
Is the clip quality the same on podcast speech?
On the transcript, yes: the pipeline is OpenAI Whisper, bundled into every plan, so word-level accuracy on speech matches Recast on the same file, and clip selection is hook-scored rather than just timestamp-picked. The clip itself is cut from the video recording of the episode.
Does Clipflow auto-publish to YouTube + TikTok + Reels like Recast doesn’t?
Yes. Connect each platform once in /settings/channels; posts publish with the caption you approved.
How does pricing compare?
Recast Studio Pro is around $20-40/mo per seat. Clipflow starts at $40/mo per client brand (yearly), and replaces Recast + a publisher + a client portal for agencies handling multiple podcast brands.
