What Beamly is
Beamly is a web platform for podcast hosting or RSS syncing, episode distribution, a branded website, and content monetization. It is aimed at creators who want to manage a podcast alongside other paid or published content. Alongside episodes, creators can publish videos, blog posts, digital products, and online courses. For membership shows, Beamly provides a unique RSS link for each member and lets creators restrict selected episodes behind a paywall.
The dashboard tracks downloads, unique listeners, listening apps, and website traffic. Beamly says its analytics filter bots and data-center traffic and follow IAB guidelines closely. Named integrations include Stripe, YouTube, Zapier, Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Kit, and Podchaser. It says it can import episodes from RSS feeds from any podcast host. Every plan includes unlimited podcast downloads and storage; Beamly charges no platform transaction fees, though standard Stripe processing fees apply. Plans start at $18 a month when billed annually, and a 14-day trial is available. There is no ongoing free plan. Beamly began as Podcastpage.io in 2019 and adopted its current name in 2025.
