What it is

PodView builds podcast websites with episode pages, show notes, search, and custom domains. Shows can be imported from an RSS feed or YouTube channel or playlist, with automatic episode synchronization whose frequency varies by plan. Every plan, including Free, includes the professional themes. Episodes carrying a Podcasting 2.0 HLS video stream can play inline. Audience tools include email signups, reviews, contact forms, voicemail collection, and guest management, depending on plan. Built-in analytics are first-party and cookieless; paid plans add per-episode plays, completion rates, and drop-off data. Paid plans provide AI discovery pages, while Producer adds controls for AI descriptions and citations. Free uses a PodView subdomain and excludes custom domains, consumption analytics, and a persistent audio player. Paid plans start at $5.99/mo billed annually: Indie is $5.99 per month billed $71.88 once a year, Creator $9.99, and Producer $19.99.
