Pricing notesPodcastle is now Async; the existing listing URL remains valid. Current pricing comparison shows 10 lifetime Free AI credits, conflicting with the previously checked help figure of 150. Paid credit allowances remain 450 / 1,200 / 3,000 monthly. Paid dollar amounts were not exposed in this check, so the older pricing verification date is retained.
