| The verdict | An open source podcast app built with support for the newer podcast namespace tags, popular with the open podcasting and value for value crowd. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Podcasters engaged with the podcast namespace ecosystem, chapters, transcripts, and value for value payments, who want an app that treats those as core features. |
| Not the best fit | Anyone targeting a mainstream audience who has never heard of the podcast namespace or Bitcoin lightning payments. |
| The gotcha | Its user base is small and skews technical, don't expect meaningful download volume unless your existing audience already overlaps with that community. |
