Memberships and private feeds · Digital products

Paid audio products and private memberships with app and web listening. Check delivery requirements for your public show.

Soundwise sells and delivers audio products, including subscriptions, rentals and bundles. Listeners can use its mobile app or web player.

It also supports public podcast feeds: Plus includes five, while Pro and Platinum list unlimited feeds. The old catalog claim that it cannot publish external RSS feeds was incorrect.

Plus limits private soundcasts to 200 listeners. Pro removes that listener cap, but both plans retain a 150 GB monthly bandwidth allowance. Platinum adds white-label mobile apps and unlimited bandwidth.

The platform lists a 0% transaction fee on all three plans. Budget for the subscription, any payment-processing costs and the delivery limits relevant to your audience.

  • The default membership desk for many shows, with members-only private RSS into normal podcast apps.

    Memberships and private feeds

    Free to start; new creator pages take 10% of income earned on Patreon, plus payment processing, currency conversion, payout fees, and applicable taxes (price checked 2026-09-14 from patreon.com/product/pricing and Patreon Help creator-fees overview)
    The gotcha

    The cut is on every dollar you earn there, and processing fees stack on top, so the headline 10% is not your all-in cost.

  • Publisher-grade podcast subscriptions with private feeds in the apps listeners already use.

    Price hidden
    The gotcha

    You talk to sales before you know the bill, so you cannot budget from a public pricing page.

  • Flat monthly membership software that wraps your existing unlisted feed into paid private RSS.

    Memberships and private feeds

    Standard $49/month + 4.9% transaction fee; free to try until you go live and accept payments
    The gotcha

    It does not host your MP3s. Weak host security (guessable public paths) undermines the private feed, and some players (historically Stitcher) cannot add custom feeds.

    Price checked

  • Private paid feeds that land in the listener's usual podcast app, billed per subscriber.

    Memberships and private feeds

    $0.59 per subscriber per month + Stripe fees (price checked 2026-09-07)
    The gotcha

    The fee scales with every paying subscriber, and Spotify linking still breaks for some listeners even when Apple works.
