AI Actions vs Audioshake
Side-by-side comparison · Updated September 2026
| Description | The AI Actions app offers powerful AI-related actions (including GPT-4o, GPT-4, and GPT 3.5) for Apple's Shortcuts app, facilitating interaction with the ChatGPT API. It requires users to supply their own OpenAI API key, which is securely stored in the keychain. The app is optimized for macOS, but requires an Apple silicon Mac for the App Store version, due to Apple's restrictions. A non-App Store version is available for Intel Mac users, although it doesn't receive automatic updates. The app also supports DALL·E and boasts enhanced customizability and longer text handling compared to the official ChatGPT app. | AudioShake separates an existing recording into sources such as vocals, instruments, dialogue, music and effects. It also offers speech cleanup, speaker separation, lyric transcription and word-level lyric alignment. Use those outputs in editing, dubbing, remixing or audio analysis, and listen for leakage and changed sounds before delivery. Its lyric transcription is not a general-purpose speech-to-text service; separated speech can instead feed a dedicated transcription workflow. The developer API includes 10 credits on signup. Usage is billed per source-audio minute for each target model, rounding the duration up to the next minute. A 2 minute 10 second recording processed by vocals and instrumental models at one credit per minute each costs six credits. Instrument stems and lyric transcription/alignment cost one credit per minute; dialogue, effects and speech denoise cost 1.5, dereverb two, multi-voice and music removal ten, and music detection 0.5. Credit rates are not dollar prices. Dereverb also reduces noise, so avoid automatically paying for both cleanup models when one meets the task. Choose AudioShake Live for its professional web workflow, Indie for its artist-oriented route, the API for asynchronous jobs and batches, or a separately licensed Local Inference SDK for on-device or self-hosted integration. Check the target model's input limits: multi-voice accepts at most 1.5 hours, while lyric transcription and alignment accept at most 45 minutes. Pilot the required source material and integration before committing to a production pipeline. AudioShake's August 2026 terms identify Audioshake, Inc.
