Beamly vs Internal Cast

Alongside podcasts, creators can publish videos, blog posts, digital products, and courses. Private shows can use unique RSS links for members, with episodes gated behind paywalls. Its dashboard reports downloads, unique listeners, listening apps, and website traffic; Beamly says its analytics filter bots and data-center traffic and closely follow IAB guidelines. It lists integrations including Stripe, YouTube, Zapier, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Kit, and Podchaser, and says it can import episodes from RSS feeds from any hosting company. Every plan includes unlimited storage and podcast downloads. Starter costs $18 a month billed annually; Creator is 30.00 USD and Business is 64.00 USD, each billed annually. The service has no ongoing free plan, but offers a 14-day trial. Beamly began as Podcastpage.io in 2019 and adopted its current name in 2025.

Internal Cast turns company information into private podcast-style audio briefings for business and organizational use. Users add pasted text, text files, or PDFs, review and edit the generated script, select a voice, then produce and publish the episode. There is no episode length limit. An editorial profile can guide company terminology, naming conventions, structure, tone, and pronunciation. Episodes can be shared through a web player, private RSS, MP3 download, or the iOS app. The web player and iOS app are invite-only, while anyone with a private RSS link can subscribe, so that link should be treated like a password. The iOS player supports streaming and offline downloads, playback speed adjustment, skip and resume controls, and new-episode notifications. Voice generation supports over 30 languages. Integrations with Jira, Confluence, Slack, Notion, and other internal systems are available on request. Script generation and audio production each use 0.1 token per character; regenerations use tokens again, and unused monthly tokens do not roll over. Plans start at $30 per month, and the free trial includes 3,000 tokens without a credit card.
