| The verdict | Fountain is a podcast app built around Bitcoin micropayments, letting listeners send small amounts of value directly to shows they enjoy while listening. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Independent shows interested in direct listener support through streaming sats, especially ones already engaged with the Bitcoin or value-for-value community. |
| Not the best fit | Shows with an audience unfamiliar with or uninterested in cryptocurrency, the payment model requires listener buy-in to actually work. |
| The gotcha | The whole payment model depends on listeners already having a Bitcoin wallet set up, so revenue here tends to be small unless your audience is crypto-native. |
