Studiotake or Eddie AI?
Both start from a long recording. Eddie edits from a chat or a saved recipe and gives you MP4s, or a timeline to finish in your editor. Studiotake carries a podcast all the way to the published episode, the shorts and the covers, and opens the cut in DaVinci Resolve, the free version too, if you want to edit by hand.

What you pay
Studiotake
From $19 a month for 5 episode-hours (€22.99 a month including VAT in the EU). It buys the whole job: the episode, the shorts, the covers and the posts.
Eddie AI
Its pricing page says the $10 pack of 1,000 credits covers about an hour of footage, imported and edited, and the $45 pack of 5,000 about two 3-hour projects. Each camera file is billed on its own length. For a three-camera episode (an hour finished, about 3.5 hours recorded) its own rates come to about $10 to $19, against $3.80 in Studiotake. It buys edits and clips, as MP4s or timelines, to post yourself.
Who should stay with Eddie AI
- You edit documentary, commercial or anything that needs B-roll. Eddie’s site lists B-roll logging, stock B-roll, generated video, music and dubbing. Studiotake adds none of these over your voice.
- You are on Windows, or want a browser or an iPhone. Studiotake is a Mac app so far.
- You like to steer by chat. If you know exactly what to tell an editor, Eddie lets you say it.
- You need a security attestation. Eddie's pricing page says it has completed SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. Studiotake is new and small.
- Your footage must stay on a Windows PC. Eddie Local, sold through its sales team, runs on Mac and Windows and keeps footage and transcripts there.
Questions
Does Eddie upload my footage?
Eddie's home page tells you to upload your footage to Eddie and says it is not used to train its models (Eddie AI). Its desktop app uploads light working copies of your files (Eddie help centre). Eddie Local, sold through its sales team at $20 an hour of footage with a 25-hour minimum, runs on your Mac or Windows computer and keeps footage and transcripts there (Eddie Local). In Studiotake your recordings, transcripts, cut lists and exports stay on your Mac. Three exceptions, each only when you use it: a finished video you schedule waits on our server until it is posted, parts of the transcript pass through our server to the AI provider to write the cut and the texts, and support requests you send reach us. See the privacy policy.
Is Studiotake a replacement for Eddie?
They overlap, but the job differs. Eddie edits through a chat or a saved recipe and gives you MP4s or a timeline for your editor. Studiotake takes a podcast recording to a published episode, shorts, covers and posts, and you approve each step.
How do the prices compare?
Eddie sells credit packs. Its pricing page says the $10 pack of 1,000 credits covers about an hour of footage, imported and edited, and the $45 pack of 5,000 about two 3-hour projects: $10 and $7.50 an hour of footage (Eddie AI pricing). Its help centre bills each file you import, such as each camera, on its own length. Studiotake sells episode-hours: one hour of finished episode is one episode-hour, however many cameras recorded it, from $19 a month for 5 of them, which is $3.80. For a three-camera episode (an hour finished, about 3.5 hours recorded) its own rates come to about $10 to $19, against $3.80 in Studiotake. Prices exclude VAT.
Does the free start cover a whole episode?
Eddie gives 500 free credits, no card needed (Eddie AI pricing). Its podcast recipe pages put a run for the full episode at 100 to 500 credits and one for the clips at 100 to 490, after 250 credits for each hour of footage imported, and each camera file counts on its own length. So one episode with its clips can use more than the free credits. Studiotake's first episode is free, with its shorts and covers, no card.
Does Studiotake work on Windows or in a browser?
No. Studiotake is a Mac app so far. Eddie runs on the web, Mac, Windows and iPhone.
Does Eddie post my episode and shorts?
Eddie's own comparison page says it gives you MP4 files to post yourself (Eddie AI). Studiotake schedules and posts them for you, after you approve.

Prices are in US dollars, Studiotake's the same number in euros (€22.99 a month including VAT in the EU). Studiotake counts an hour of finished episode, however many cameras recorded it; Eddie counts credits, here turned into hours of footage with its pricing page's own estimates: $10 for about an hour, $45 for about two 3-hour projects. Its help centre bills each imported file, such as each camera, on its own length. A three-camera episode here is one hour finished, recorded on three cameras with 10 to 20% cut, so about 3.5 hours of footage in all (3.3 to 3.75). Eddie AI: importing costs 250 credits an hour of each file, billed in 15-minute blocks, so three files of 1.1 to 1.25 hours are about 938 credits; its recipe pages put the full-episode run at 100 to 500 credits and the clips run at 100 to 490; 1,138 to 1,928 credits is about $10 at the $45 pack's rate to $19 at the $10 pack's.
