Uploads
The upload allowance counts the episode files you upload each calendar month, at their full size, and starts again on the first of the month. It is a monthly allowance, not storage: everything you have published stays, for as long as your plan does. Your Account screen shows what you have used this month. Files are up to 5 GB each. Moving a podcast in does not count against the allowance.
Downloads
Unmetered on every plan: your listeners are never cut off. It is for podcast listening; if a podcast's traffic is far beyond what its plan is designed for over two months in a row, we will talk to you about a better fitting arrangement first. Nothing is switched off without notice.
What locked features look like
Everything is visible in the dashboard whatever your plan. A feature your plan does not include is greyed out with a note naming the plan that unlocks it, so you always know what an upgrade brings.
Common questions
Which plan should I start on?
Basic if you are starting a new podcast and want the lowest price. Smart if you are moving an existing podcast in or want sponsor messages, AI transcripts and a team. Pro and Studio add YouTube, video episodes, subscriber only episodes and white label websites.
Is storage really unlimited?
Yes. The monthly allowance is for uploads, counted at their full size each calendar month; everything you have published stays for as long as your plan does.
Is there a download or bandwidth limit?
No. Downloads are unmetered on every plan. Listeners are never cut off; a podcast far beyond what its plan is designed for gets a conversation first, never a switch off without notice.
Can I change plans later?
Yes, at any time from Billing. Upgrades take effect at once, prorated; a move down takes effect at the end of the paid period.
