Echoteka vs Soundplate: free AI mastering previews compared
Soundplate offers a free AI mastering preview in the browser and charges to download the master; Echoteka gives one full master a day free and sells credits. What we could and could not verify, checked on 28 October 2026.
Soundplate (Soundplate LTD) is a music company with a record label, a playlist network, smart links, and a set of free tools for artists. One of those tools is an AI mastering engine that runs in the browser with no sign-up. Echoteka is a mastering service built for songs made with Suno and other AI generators. This page compares the two on what each site states. Every Soundplate fact comes from Soundplate's own pages, checked on 28 October 2026. Some facts we could not verify, and we say so instead of guessing.

"Not described" or "not stated" means we did not find it on Soundplate's public pages. The mastering tool itself loads in an embedded app, which did not open for us on 28 October 2026, so we could not see the download price or the export options inside it. Check the tool yourself before you decide.
Where Soundplate is the better choice
- You are pressing vinyl. Soundplate has a separate AI mastering engine for vinyl, which accounts for the mechanical limits of a record. Echoteka does not master for vinyl.
- You want to hear the result before anything else. Soundplate gives a free preview with no sign-up, and you pay only to download the master you like. On Echoteka each full master uses your free daily master or a credit.
- You also need promotion. Soundplate runs playlists, smart links, ad campaigns and artwork tools in the same place. Echoteka only does audio.
- You want a browser extension. Soundplate has a Chrome extension for dropping files straight into the mastering tool.
Where Echoteka fits better
- You want to download for free. One full master a day is free to download as MP3 320, not just to preview, with no account and no card; WAV after a free sign-up.
- You want to know the price before you upload. Echoteka's packs are listed on the pricing page: €3 for one track, down to €1.30 a track in the 30-track pack. If a master fails, the credit returns to your balance automatically.
- Your track comes from an AI generator. Echoteka cleans metallic ringing and watery highs before it masters. See what artifact cleanup changes.
- You want the numbers. Every master comes with a before/after report of integrated loudness, true peak, loudness range and stereo, and states the target it aimed for.
A note on "competitive loudness"
Soundplate's page says its engine makes music meet "competitive loudness standards". On streaming services, louder is not better: Spotify plays music at about −14 LUFS and turns louder masters down to that level. What matters more is a true peak at or under −1 dBTP, so the encoded copy does not clip, and enough dynamics left for the chorus to lift. In our measurements of 248 Suno exports, the median was already −14.3 LUFS; details are in why is my Suno song so quiet. Whichever service you use, measure the result before you release it.
Test both on the same song
- Measure the original in the free LUFS checker.
- Preview it on Soundplate, and master it with Echoteka's free daily master.
- If you buy the Soundplate download, measure both files the same way.
- Match their loudness before you listen. A louder file always sounds better for the first few seconds.
