Everything you get with PodcastBud

One upload becomes a whole marketing engine — content, clips, a hosted SEO website, distribution, guest tools, and analytics. Here's what's included.

A complete content kit for every episode

Not just titles and show notes — PodcastBud writes your episode summary, SEO title/description/keywords, 10+ ranked title options, blog posts, email and newsletter drafts, YouTube chapters, FAQs, notable quotes, key takeaways, and episode resources. All from one upload.

Social posts for every platform — yours and your guest’s

Ready-to-post captions tailored to LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon — generated for both you and your guest, so everyone promotes the episode.

Viral video clips, made for you

PodcastBud automatically finds the best moments and cuts short, captioned, vertically-reframed clips for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok — ranked by how likely they are to go viral.

A full podcast host — or bring your own

PodcastBud is now a complete podcast host: we host your show’s RSS feed and give you your own SEO podcast page and an embeddable player for your site — a real alternative to Transistor, Buzzsprout, or Podbean. Already hosted elsewhere? Connect your host instead. Either way you get download analytics (top apps, geography, per-episode) and the full marketing engine.

Publish & distribute everywhere

Push episodes to your host (Transistor, Buzzsprout) and YouTube, schedule them to go live automatically, and track your status across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart, and Pocket Casts — all in one place.

Guest tools that do the promotion for you

Send branded guest onboarding links to collect bios, headshots, and links, then hand guests a ready-made kit — their clips, social posts, a guest blog and newsletter — so they share the episode with their audience too.

Accurate transcription in 10+ languages

Speaker-labeled, word-level transcripts power everything above — and your content is generated in your podcast’s own language (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more).

Pricing that grows with your podcast

PodcastBud turns each recording into a full kit of marketing content — show notes, viral clips, social posts, blogs, and more. Every plan includes the essentials and there's no credit card required to start. You begin on Pro free for 30 days, then pick the plan that matches how often you publish and how much you want automated. Switch or cancel anytime.

Pricing FAQ

Is PodcastBud a podcast host?

Yes — PodcastBud is now a full podcast host. We host your show’s RSS feed and give you your own SEO podcast page, just like Transistor, Buzzsprout, or Podbean — with all the AI marketing built right in. Prefer to keep your current host? Connect it and use PodcastBud for everything else.

Can I move my existing podcast to PodcastBud?

Yes. You can host your show with PodcastBud and point your feed to us, or keep your current host and simply connect it. Either way you get the full content, clips, distribution, and guest toolkit — no need to start over.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every new account starts on the Pro plan free for 30 days, with no credit card required. You get the full PodcastBud toolkit while you decide whether it fits your workflow.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can create your account and run your entire 30-day Pro trial without entering any payment details. You only add a card if you choose to subscribe.

What happens when my trial ends?

If you don't subscribe, your workspace simply moves to the free Bootstrap plan and keeps going at the free plan's limits. Nothing you've already created is deleted or hidden — you keep all your episodes and content.

What counts as an episode?

An episode is one audio or video recording you upload (or import from YouTube) and process into content. Re-generating or editing content for an episode you already created does not count as a new episode.

What happens if I reach my plan’s limit?

We'll let you know and prompt you to upgrade — your existing episodes and content stay exactly as they are. Upgrading lifts the limit immediately, so you're never blocked for long.

Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like from your account settings. There are no contracts and no lock-in — changes take effect right away.

What are viral clips?

Viral clips are short, social-ready video highlights PodcastBud automatically cuts from your full episode — ideal for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Higher plans generate more clips per episode.

Which plan is right for me?

Bootstrap is great for trying PodcastBud and the occasional episode. Accelerate adds viral clips for creators publishing regularly. Pro is the full content engine for serious podcasters who want every episode turned into clips, blogs, emails, and social posts. Pro+ adds CRM/email integration and an embeddable webpage for teams and high-output shows.
