In their own words
Supporting Cast
Supporting Cast provides a platform for selling and delivering podcast subscriptions, audiobooks, newsletters, and other members-only benefits. Subscribers can listen to premium material in existing apps such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify without installing another app or copying a private RSS feed. Creators can offer single-show or multi-show bundles, monthly or annual billing, multiple tiers, pay-what-you-want pricing, and one-time payments. Exclusive video can be delivered through Spotify, a Supporting Cast subscription site, an embedded player, or private RSS; creators can also publish free or paid newsletters and blogs. The product supports private and video podcasts, RSS feeds, selected directory distribution, and advanced analytics. Integrations listed include Stripe, Mailchimp, Spotify, WordPress, Zapier, and WooCommerce. Reporting covers subscription growth, revenue, engagement, and individual downloads, with CSV export and data-pipeline queries. Pricing for podcast subscriptions is on request. Internal Podcast Starter costs $99 a month for up to 500 listeners; Enterprise pricing is by contact. Platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API.
