Supercast: cost, fit and limits
Supercast is a paid podcast subscription service made by Supercast Podcast Corp. that hosts premium episodes behind a branded landing page, syncs public episodes from the creator's podcast host, and bills listeners through the creator's own Stripe account.
What to know first
Supercast is narrow on purpose. Its All-in plan takes $0.59 per month for each subscriber, deducted from subscriber payments, plus Stripe fees, and a Custom quote covers networks with several shows. There is no free plan and no monthly platform charge when the show has no subscribers. The vendor pages name no AI feature. Billing through your own Stripe account keeps subscriber payment details with the creator.

Who Supercast is best for
Independent podcasters adding a paid tier
The landing page, two-tap subscribe flow and auto-sync of public episodes let a show add a paid feed without rebuilding its public distribution.
Shows that want billing data in their own account
Supercast bills through the creator's own Stripe account, so subscriber billing information stays with the creator instead of a platform.
Networks bundling several shows
The Custom plan adds multi-show support and bundle subscriptions, which fits a network that wants one subscription across its catalog.

What Supercast does
- Premium feed hosting
- Supercast hosts the paid episodes and gives each show a dedicated subscriber landing page, so listeners subscribe in two taps and then add a private feed to their podcast app.
- Public episode sync
- Public episodes are synced automatically from the show's podcast host into Supercast, which means the creator keeps publishing where they already do and does not need to upload every free episode twice.
- Flexible subscriber plans
- The All-in plan allows unlimited subscriber plans of different types, including monthly, annual and lifetime, so a show can price a bonus tier differently from a patron tier.
- Video and email
- The features pages mention support for YouTube video feeds and built-in emailing, so a show with video extras can serve them next to audio and write to subscribers without a separate mailing tool.
How Supercast handles your data
The privacy policy says personal information is stored and processed in Canada and the United States. Subscriber billing runs through the creator's own Stripe account, which the vendor presents as keeping billing information with the creator. No certification, retention period or AI training statement appeared on the pages read, so the vendor's policy was not checked for those points. The vendor pages do not state where the company is headquartered.
Where Supercast falls short in practice
- Fees stack with Stripe. The $0.59 per subscriber is on top of Stripe's 2.9% plus $0.30 per USD transaction and a 0.7% billing fee on recurring payments, so the true cost per $5 subscriber is noticeably higher than the headline.
- One-time payment fee. One-time payments carry a 15% fee up to a maximum of $1.50 per payment, plus processing, which matters for shows that sell single bonus episodes.
- Multi-show needs a quote. Multi-show support sits on the Custom plan only, so a creator with two or three shows cannot self-serve a bundle at the published price and has to ask for a quote first.

Supercast: common questions
How much does Supercast cost for a podcaster?
The All-in plan charges $0.59 per subscriber per month, taken from subscriber payments, plus Stripe fees of 2.9% plus $0.30 per USD transaction and 0.7% on recurring billing. There is no free plan. A show with no subscribers owes no Supercast fee on the pages read.
Do I need a separate podcast host?
The pages read say public episodes sync automatically from your podcast host into Supercast, so you keep your existing host for the free feed. Supercast hosts the premium content and a landing page for subscribers. Check that your host supports the sync before moving.
Who owns the subscriber payment data?
Billing runs through your own Stripe account, and the vendor says this keeps subscriber billing information with you. Personal information on Supercast itself is stored in Canada and the United States per the privacy policy. Ask what a subscriber export contains before you launch.
Can Supercast handle multiple shows?
Multi-show support and bundle subscriptions appear only on the Custom plan, which is a quote-based tier for networks and podcasters with large audiences. A creator with one show can use All-in. Ask for a quote if you need one subscription across several shows.
Does Supercast include any AI features?
No AI feature is named on the vendor pages read. The product is a subscription and hosting layer for podcasts, with analytics for subscribers. If you want AI transcripts or clips, plan to use a separate tool and confirm how it handles private-feed audio.
