Pricing that’s designed for you

We’ve worked with many podcasters and listened closely to their feedback. Our pricing model is a win-win no matter what happens.

• We don’t get paid until you get paid. We’re on the same team and we’re rooting for you to score. We won’t charge you a dime until you’ve been paid in full.
• We offer fixed pricing per subscriber rather than a percentage cut model, so when your audiences inevitably grows, your earnings will as well. Whether you decide to charge $5 or $1000, our costs stay the same and you take home your hard earned cash.
  

We host all your content

No redirects, no third-party apps, no additional hosting fees. Just insanely fast and secure hosting for your listeners.

Industry leading feed protection

RSS feed protection can seem like a tricky problem to solve but not when we’re securely hosting your private content. Our platform is continuously monitoring account activity and we run on some of the most secure servers in the world. Simply put: no one can steal your content without you knowing.

Any podcaster who wants to set up a private/members-only feed can get up and running on Supercast quickly.

1. Sign up for an account 
2. Customize their landing page
3. Connect their Stripe account
4. Add content to their private feed.

‍

Podcasters who use a subscription model can earn twice the revenue (or more) VS those monetizing with advertising alone. 

The subscription model helps podcasters:

1. Make their revenue predictable
   Get paid by your listeners, every month, predictably. No CPMs, and no scheduling required.
2. Cut out the middlemen
   Own the listener relationship end-to-end. Unlike using a platform like Patreon, with Supercast listeners only ever see your brand, and can enjoy your show using their favourite podcast player (no need to download another app)
3. Spend less time on ad sales
   Sourcing and managing ads is a lot of work. Collecting bigger cheques from recurring revenue isn't.

Signup, payment and private feed delivery

Give your podcast listeners a quick, easy way to pay for and subscribe to exclusive podcast content:

• Supercast gives podcasters a branded landing page, payment processing, member management, and private feed delivery. 
• This makes it super simple for listeners to sign up, pay with Apple or Google Pay, then subscribe to the private feed in their favourite podcast player with just a couple of taps. 
• Supercast gives every subscriber a protected, unique private RSS feed. This lets the podcaster easily disable abused/shared feeds, and track per-feed usage.
  

Audience Analytics and Subscription Business Metrics

• Supercast gives podcasters rich analytics on the most valuable members of their audience — their paying subscribers: See who’s listening to what, and which episodes are most popular.
• Because Supercast provides a unique feed to every member, it’s able to collect more detailed analytics than a public podcast feed, tracking engagement on a per-user level.
• Tag your episodes to learn which seasons, topics, guests, etc, drive subscriptions and keep listeners sticking around.

Supercast helps you project your subscription business's growth by tracking key metrics like total and recurring revenue, average revenue per user, lifetime value, and churn.

• Yes, we fully integrate with MemberPress, Memberful, and WooCommerce.

‍

• Depending on the engagement level and the type of content you produce, in most cases we usually suggest to wait until around you are achieving consistently over 1,000* unique downloads per episode before you start thinking about the launching a podcast membership program.
• If you are looking for a one time donation, we would recommend using Buy-me-a-Coffee or Ko-fi
