The workflow difference
AudioTeleporter lists a stereo plugin for Mac and Windows, with free browser listeners. Its Free tier uses 64 kbps Opus for one listener; Basic increases the listener count and bitrate; Pro adds FLAC at 48 kHz. Playback’s Studio route is uncompressed, with native and browser formats that differ by device.
For a free first listener or a Windows sender, evaluate AudioTeleporter’s matching tier. For a Mac workflow that calls for Playback’s quality modes and native receiving option, check the chosen format, listener count and delivery allowance.
SESSION™ Playback at a glance
- Price
- $9.99 a month or $59 a year
- Requirements
- macOS 14.2 or later on Intel or Apple silicon. AU, VST3 and AAX sender plugins. A sender subscription is required; browser listeners are free.
- Input and setup
- Insert Playback Send on the stereo bus, choose the quality before starting, and share the listening link. A browser listener opens the link and presses play without creating an account or installing a plugin.
- Working with it
- Use the stream for listening and mix review, with a separate call for conversation. Playback Receive provides a native receiving route. Review the device and quality requirements before choosing the stream format.
- Before the session
- Up to five simultaneous listeners, with lower limits for the highest Studio formats. Each subscription includes 200 GB per monthly anniversary, counting delivery to each listener. Unused delivery does not roll over; streaming stops at the allowance until reset, without automatic overage charges.
Before the first session
Check sender operating-system and plugin support, the listener’s device and the plan’s delivery limits before the session.

No. Both describe browser listening without a listener account. Compare sender compatibility, quality modes, participant limits and the total plan terms instead.
When should I choose SESSION™ Playback instead?
