Sound familiar?

Podcast hosting shouldn't be this complicated

Punished for growing

Most hosts charge by downloads. Your podcast takes off, and your bill explodes. You shouldn't have to choose between growth and your budget.

Confusing dashboards

You want to publish an episode and check your numbers. Instead you get a maze of settings, upsells, and features locked behind enterprise paywalls.

Surprise bills

Bandwidth overages, storage caps, per-hour upload limits. You shouldn't need a spreadsheet to figure out what hosting will cost you next month.

A different approach

We built FernPod to be the host we wished existed

Simple pricing you can understand in 10 seconds. Unlimited downloads so you never worry about your show growing. Real analytics that actually help you make decisions. And audio served from Cloudflare's global edge network — fast from anywhere, no CDN add-ons.

We have a fair use policy — if your show consistently exceeds 200,000 downloads per month, we'll reach out to discuss a plan that fits. In practice, fewer than 1% of podcasts ever reach that threshold.
