Auxfeed alternative: lossless streaming your clients open in a browser

If you are looking for an Auxfeed alternative, you are probably weighing up two things: what it costs to stream outside your own studio, and how much friction your listeners have to put up with. This is a straight comparison between Auxfeed and AudioTeleporter, including the places where Auxfeed is the better pick. I make AudioTeleporter, so read this with that in mind, and check the numbers yourself before you spend anything.

What each tool actually is

Auxfeed is a DAW plugin (AU, VST3 and AAX) that sends your mix to a phone. The receiving end is a mobile app for iOS and Android, and it was built around monitoring your session on a device in the same room or the same building. It arrived in early 2026 and is made by Payette Forward.

AudioTeleporter is also a DAW plugin (VST3 on macOS and Windows, plus AU and AAX on macOS), but the receiving end is a web page. You start streaming, you get a link, and whoever you send it to opens it in whatever browser they already have. There is no app to install and no account for them to create.

The big one: Auxfeed's free tier is local network only

This is the difference that will decide it for most people. Auxfeed's free tier streams over your local Wi-Fi. That is genuinely useful if what you want is to walk down the hall and check your mix on a phone, or listen in the car on the drive. But if the person listening is not on your network, in another city or another country, you need Auxfeed Pro at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year.

AudioTeleporter's free tier streams over the internet. One listener, anywhere, Opus at 64 kbps. That is not a demo or a time-limited trial. It is enough to send a rough mix to a client on the other side of the world and get notes back, which is the job most people are actually trying to do.

How your listeners join

With Auxfeed, the person listening installs the Auxfeed app on an iPhone or Android device and pairs with a six digit code. Auxfeed's marketing also mentions listening in a browser and an iOS App Clip, though I could not confirm a working browser player when I checked, so treat that as something to test yourself rather than take on trust.

With AudioTeleporter, you paste a link into an email, a WhatsApp message or a Slack channel. Your client clicks it and hears audio. Mac, Windows, iPad, Android phone, an engineer at a desk or a manager on a train, it does not matter, because it is just a web page. Nobody signs up, nobody downloads anything, nobody has to be talked through a pairing code on the phone while you wait.

If your listeners are clients rather than collaborators, this is worth more than any spec on a comparison table. Every install you ask for is a chance for someone to give up, and the awkward moment where you become tech support for a person who is paying you.

Audio quality

Both tools are stereo in practice. Auxfeed offers PCM, Opus and AAC, and advertises sample rates up to 96 kHz. Its own comparison table lists stereo as the channel ceiling, even though its homepage mentions higher channel counts, so if immersive formats matter to you, ask them directly. Auxfeed does not state a bit depth anywhere I could find.

AudioTeleporter's paid tiers go Opus at 256 kbps on Basic, and lossless FLAC at 48 kHz on Pro. Lossless means the audio your listener hears is bit for bit what left your master bus, with nothing thrown away by a codec. That is the setting to use when someone is judging a mix, a vocal take or a master, because compression artefacts are exactly the kind of thing that makes people second guess a decision.

Both tools let you trade latency for stability. On AudioTeleporter the listener picks their own buffer, anywhere from 50 milliseconds up to a second, so the person on hotel Wi-Fi can be stable while the person on fibre stays snappy.

What it costs

Auxfeed is free on your local network, and $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year for remote streaming plus its extra tools, per their pricing page.

• AudioTeleporter Free: 1 listener, Opus 64 kbps, streams over the internet, no card
• AudioTeleporter Basic: €3.99 a month, 5 listeners, Opus 256 kbps
• AudioTeleporter Pro: €5.99 a month, 20 listeners, lossless FLAC
• Yearly billing on either paid tier gives you two months free

Where Auxfeed is the better choice

I would rather you buy the right tool than the one I make, so here is where Auxfeed wins.

• Listener numbers. Auxfeed advertises unlimited simultaneous listeners. AudioTeleporter caps you at 1, 5 or 20 depending on tier, so a big playback session is a real limitation on my side.
• Metering and analysis. Auxfeed Pro includes LUFS, True Peak and LRA metering with platform loudness targets, plus a three band EQ and mid, side and mono checks. AudioTeleporter has none of that, it just moves audio.
• Recording. Auxfeed Pro records the session to WAV. AudioTeleporter does not record anything, on your machine or on my servers.
• Phone monitoring in the room. Auxfeed was designed for exactly this, with local network discovery, AirPlay and Bluetooth output. It is free and it is neat.
• Higher sample rates. Auxfeed advertises up to 96 kHz. AudioTeleporter streams at 48 kHz.

What AudioTeleporter does not do

Being equally blunt about my own gaps, since you will find them anyway.

• Stereo only. No Dolby Atmos, no 5.1, no 7.1. If you are delivering immersive mixes, AudioTeleporter cannot carry them.
• One direction only. Your listeners hear you, they cannot talk back through the plugin. You will want a phone call or a video call running alongside it.
• No video, no timecode, no MIDI, no file transfer.
• No recording, on either end.

Which one should you pick

If what you want is to check your own mix on your own phone in your own studio, install Auxfeed's free tier today. It is built for that and it costs nothing. If you also want loudness metering and session recording in the same window, Auxfeed Pro is a reasonable bundle at $9.99 a month.

If the person listening is somewhere else and is not you, AudioTeleporter is the cheaper and simpler answer. Remote streaming is free rather than paywalled, lossless costs €5.99 a month rather than $9.99, and your client opens a link instead of installing an app and reading you a pairing code. One more thing worth weighing: Auxfeed is a few months old with a handful of ratings, while its published changelog and download page currently lag behind the version in the App Store. That may be nothing, but it is worth knowing before it becomes part of how you get paid.
