VEED.io background noise remover: 1-time preview, 512 MB limit, and watermark
On VEED.io's Free Plan, its Dolby-powered Clean Audio works as a one-time preview on the web background noise remover: you can upload a clip and hear the cleaned sound once, and after that first run VEED asks you to sign in and upgrade to a paid plan to use Clean Audio again.
Even on your first run, any video exported on VEED's Free Plan comes out with a VEED watermark in the corner. According to VEED's background noise remover page and upload-limit help docs, the standalone web noise remover caps uploads at 512 MB and 30 minutes (while the general Free editor caps uploads at 1 GB). If you're a developer calling VEED's Clean Audio API outside the web editor, VEED prices API calls at $0.0125 per input minute ($0.75 an hour).
Kapwing Clean Audio (Magic Mic): 10 free AI credits (5 minutes total) and 720p exports
Kapwing's Clean Audio tool (also called Magic Mic) removes background noise, evens out volume, and softens plosives in one pass. A free Kapwing account comes with 10 AI credits that never refill, and Clean Audio costs 2 credits per minute of audio or video, which works out to 5 minutes in total.
Exporting on Kapwing's Free plan also adds a corner watermark, caps exported videos at 4 minutes long, limits uploads to 250 MB, and steps video resolution down to 720p. Removing the watermark and unlocking longer files requires Kapwing Pro at US$24 a month billed monthly (or US$16 a month billed annually), which includes 500 minutes a month of Clean Audio ($1.92 to $2.88 an hour if you use all 500 minutes every month, or $16 to $24 for a single interview if you only clean one file that month) and raises limits to 120 minutes and 6 GB.
Watermark-free VEED and Kapwing alternative: clean video audio in Audo AI

Audo AI's Remove noise from video and Audio enhancer take MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, and AVI files up to 10 hours and 10 GB. Your original 1080p or 4K picture is copied straight into the finished file without re-encoding, so there's no 720p downgrade and nothing to line up again in your editor.
