Is Audio Splitter a good AudioMultiCut alternative?

Yes, for multi-clip cutting of a local file. Both are free, both keep the audio on your device and both export several clips from one pass.

Does Audio Splitter have word detection like AudioMultiCut?

No. AudioMultiCut can detect words on-device to help place cut points in speech. Here you place the markers yourself.

Which one keeps the original format?

Audio Splitter exports in the source format - MP3, WAV, M4A or AAC - without re-encoding. AudioMultiCut exports MP3 or WAV.

The browser tools are. Audio Splitter Pro is a one-time USD $19.90 for batch ZIP export, cue/chapters export and re-encoding; AudioMultiCut charges a subscription in its iOS app for long recordings.

Do either of them upload my file?

Neither one, per both products' own descriptions: the audio is processed locally in the browser.

When AudioMultiCut is the better choice

If you are cutting an interview, a lecture or any other spoken-word recording and you would rather the tool find the sentence boundaries for you, AudioMultiCut's on-device word detection is a genuine advantage - that is the one thing on this page we do not do. Its spectrogram tools and its video equivalents are also broader than ours. Choose Audio Splitter if you need the clips to stay in the original format without re-encoding, or if you want the timestamps exported as a CUE sheet or chapters file.
