In their own words
Podlink
Podlink is podcast analytics and post-production software that works with an existing host and RSS feed. Its free plan provides OP3 download analytics without an episode cap, listener app and country breakdowns, and a podlink.fm page containing listening-app links, recent RSS episodes, and user-added links. The service reads public RSS feeds and connects with OP3, YouTube, and Claude or other MCP-capable assistants. Paid tools include an Episode Content Kit that drafts show notes, titles, descriptions, newsletters, and social posts from transcripts. Users approve those drafts before publication. Pro adds automatic transcription for new episodes, tracked links, episode pages, templates, and multilingual output; transcription credits are metered and episodes are selected by the user. Pro costs $29 a month, with annual billing listed at $232. Studio costs $99 a month, or $990 annually, and adds unlimited shows, client workspaces, branded reports, and viewer seats, but is not self-serve yet. Each account currently supports one connected show. The Claude connector and analytics reads are free on every plan, but connecting requires Claude Pro or higher.
