Transparency alternatives to Descript
Other Video and podcast hosting vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Descript. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 49 that differ from Descript on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Descript has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Data location stated, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Descript” is the one that closes them.
