Headliner

Headliner is a repurposing suite for podcasters, video makers, and other publishers who need audiograms, short clips, captions, transcripts, and promotional posts from existing material. It is strongest for recurring episode or channel workflows, while teams managing several identities on one network will need to work around its account connection limit.

Overview

Headliner brings editing and promotion into one workflow for podcasts, YouTube videos, radio shows, blogs, and business content. Its Automations can create and share an audiogram to selected platforms when a new podcast episode is released, making it more useful for repeat publishing than for a one-off project.

Connected apps support social and YouTube posting and imports from Zoom, Google Drive, and Canva. The Full Episode Wizard supports audiograms up to four hours, so long episodes can be represented without cutting them down first. Headliner currently allows one connected account per platform, a meaningful constraint for agencies or publishers running multiple brands.

Key features

Clips, captions, and transcription

The video workflow can generate and style multiple captioned clips from uploaded video, Zoom recordings, or YouTube videos. That suits creators who want several social excerpts from one recording rather than manually editing each version. Transcription and editing are also part of the product, although the amount included depends on the plan.

Audiogram automation

Automations can respond to a new podcast episode by creating and sharing an audiogram on selected platforms. This is a practical time-saver for regular podcast schedules. The four-hour Full Episode Wizard limit covers substantial episodes, while free and lower paid tiers impose tighter output quotas or watermarks.

Publishing and creator extras

Headliner supports custom domains, tour-date publishing, mailing-list forms, video embedding, and merchandise links. Those additions make it more than a clip generator for creators who also need simple promotional destinations and calls to action.

Pricing

Forever Free

The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited video clips and captioned clips, one unwatermarked audiogram per month, unlimited watermarked audiograms, 1080p videos up to 10 minutes, 10GB of video uploads, and two hours of transcription or editing each month. It is suitable for occasional publishing, but the single clean audiogram and short video duration make it a poor fit for frequent polished releases.

Basic

Basic costs $7.99 a year when billed annually. It raises unwatermarked audiograms to 10 per month and provides unlimited captions with a 10-minute limit per project, plus 1080p videos up to 10 minutes and 10GB of uploads. Choose it for a light schedule that needs more clean audiograms; it still does not suit long-form video or heavy transcription.

Pro

Pro costs $19.99 a year when billed annually. It adds unlimited unwatermarked videos, transcription, and captions, supports 1080p videos up to two hours, retains 10GB of uploads, and includes priority support. This is the clearest fit for creators repurposing content continuously, provided the two-hour video ceiling works for their source material.

Headliner also advertises paid service from 29.99 /mo. Review the billing term attached to the annual Basic and Pro prices before subscribing, since those figures and the advertised monthly starting price describe different offerings.

Platforms

Headliner runs on web, Android, and iOS. Its connected-app workflow can post to social services and YouTube and import from Zoom, Google Drive, and Canva. Only one connected account per platform is supported.

Who it's for

Headliner fits podcasters, video creators, radio producers, bloggers, and businesses that repeatedly turn long-form recordings into social-ready assets. It is a particularly good match for solo publishers with one identity per network and a regular release cadence. Multi-brand teams, agencies, or anyone needing several accounts on the same platform should look elsewhere or accept account-management friction.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Automations can create and share audiograms when episodes publish, reducing routine launch work.
• Pros: One workflow covers clips, captions, transcription, audiograms, and imports from Zoom, Google Drive, and Canva.
• Pros: The free tier offers unlimited watermarked audiograms and clips, allowing a meaningful trial without payment.
• Cons: One connected account per platform limits multi-brand and agency workflows.
• Cons: Free and Basic plans restrict clean audiograms, project length, or transcription capacity, so frequent publishers quickly face tier limits.
• Cons: After deletion, content data may be retained for up to 24 months unless earlier deletion is requested.
• Cons: Free-tier content may be used in aggregated or de-identified form to improve systems; paid-user content is excluded from model training.

Alternatives

For a broader site-building focus, compare Music Website Builders. Framer is a freemium, cross-platform option with a free domain, design pages, CMS collections, and 1GB bandwidth, so it is better when building a designed website matters more than media repurposing.

Playcode suits users wanting browser-based projects and published sites, with a free tier limited to three projects, one collaborator, and required branding. GoDaddy Websites + Marketing is the alternative when email marketing and commerce are central; its listed tiers include 100 monthly sends on Basic and 100,000 on Commerce.

Puter AI Builder is a freemium builder for users who want a self-hosted or broad-platform option. Webador is better for a simple website starting with an always-free plan, while Mobirise AI Website Builder targets music sites with three free AI generations per month. SITE123 offers a free site with 250MB storage, 250MB bandwidth, and a subdomain.

Verdict

Choose Headliner if you regularly turn podcast or video episodes into clips, audiograms, captions, and scheduled promotional posts, especially as a solo creator using one account per platform. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the same operational limit: multi-brand publishing and higher-volume plans can outgrow the account and quota structure.
