What it is

Fountain is a podcast platform for listening and for publishing, analyzing, growing and earning from shows. Its listener app is free on iOS and Android, with offline downloads, transcripts, summaries, chapters, CarPlay and Android Auto; the service also supports web access, video podcasts and private feeds. Podcasters can connect an existing feed without changing hosts, then use archive search, branded clips, social-post drafting and analytics. Livestreams require Fountain hosting. Episodes are transcribed and indexed for searches by guests, topics, quotes or sponsors, or for questions to an agent. Fountain offers MCP connections for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, plus a plain API. It distributes shows to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube Music and says new shows are listed automatically on Podcast Index. Analytics cover downloads by episode, app, country and device, along with post performance. Plans include Fountain Premium at $2.99 a month, Lite (podcasters) at $25 a month and Pro (podcasters) at $50 a month; other listed plan prices are not provided.
