Features

Everything between the recording and the audience

You should be editing and publishing, not fighting with RSS feeds or wondering why one app has last week's episode.

Unlimited uploads, always

No storage cap, no monthly upload hour limit, no charge for keeping your back catalogue online. A show from 2018 costs the same to host as one from last week, which is to say nothing.

One-click distribution

Publish once and it lands on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon, JioSaavn, Gaana and twenty-two more. Feed validation runs before every publish so a malformed tag never breaks your show.

Retention analytics

See the exact second listeners drop off, aggregated across everyone who played the episode. Then look at what you were saying at that timestamp, which is usually uncomfortable and always useful.

Transcripts and chapters

Automatic transcription in English and eleven Indian languages, with speaker separation. Chapters are generated from the transcript and you edit them in the browser rather than in a tag editor.

Dynamic ad insertion

Mark the break points once. Swap the ad in every episode of your back catalogue without re-uploading a single file, and expire a campaign on a date without touching the audio.

Embeddable player and site

A hosted show page on your own domain, plus a player you can drop into any site or newsletter. Both load in under a second and neither runs a third-party tracker.

Analytics

Downloads tell you almost nothing.

A download happens when an app fetches a file. It does not mean anyone pressed play, and it certainly does not mean they got past the intro. Here is what we measure instead.

  • 1
    Second-by-second retention

    The actual playback curve for each episode, so you can see the two places where a third of your audience left.

  • 2
    Completion by segment

    Broken out by whether they came from search, a share link, or their subscription. These behave very differently.

  • 3
    Follower conversion

    How many first-time listeners came back for a second episode, which is the only growth number that compounds.

  • 4
    Ad break impact

    Measured drop at each break, so you can decide whether a mid-roll at eighteen minutes is costing you more than it earns.

Sixty-one percent finish the episode. The single biggest loss is the mid-roll, not the topic.

Distribution

Publish once, land everywhere

Downloads are counted using the IAB Podcast Measurement v2.2 definition. Overages are billed at Rs 4 per thousand rather than cutting your feed off, because a show going viral should not take itself offline.

Creators

What people say once they switch

Three shows at very different sizes, in their own words.

"The retention curve told me my intro was two minutes too long. I cut it, and completion went from 48 to 61 percent across the next six episodes. Nothing else changed."

"We run five shows and used to reconcile five dashboards for advertisers. Now the reporting comes out of one place in a format the agency accepts without arguing."

"I moved 140 back-catalogue episodes over on a Sunday afternoon. The import kept every GUID so nobody in my audience noticed anything happened at all."

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Can I move an existing show without losing subscribers?

Yes. The importer pulls your entire back catalogue, preserves every episode GUID, and sets up a 301 redirect on your old feed. Subscribers do not have to do anything and most never notice the migration happened.

What happens if an episode goes viral and I blow past my tier?

Nothing breaks. Your feed stays up and the overage is billed at Rs 4 per thousand downloads. We will email you when you cross your limit, but we are not going to take your show offline in the middle of its best week.

Do you take a cut of my ad revenue?

No. The dynamic ad insertion tool is yours to use with whatever sponsors you sell yourself, and we do not take a percentage. We are not a sales network and we do not want to be.

Who owns the audio and the feed?

You do, entirely. Export every file and the full RSS at any time from your dashboard without asking anyone. If you leave, we help set up the redirect rather than making it difficult.

How accurate are the transcripts?

Around 94 percent on clear single-speaker English audio and lower on heavy accents, crosstalk or poor recordings. You can edit them in the browser, and the corrections improve the chapter generation for that episode.
