The record

Purpose: Lenny.fm lets listeners financially support podcast creators by choosing shows to support for a monthly fee.
Automatic allocation: The monthly support is split between the listener’s top chosen podcasts that published an episode in the last month.
Show limit: A listener’s support is split between up to four selected shows.
No new listening app: Listeners keep using their existing podcast listening app; Lenny says that experience does not change.
Creator rewards: Creators may offer supporters rewards such as merchandise discounts, chat communities, or ad-free feeds.
Opt-in requirement: A listener payment is not taken until at least one selected podcast has opted in; the subscription is then unpaused and charged within 28 days.
Free account setup: Creating an account and selecting favourite shows is free, and listeners can choose to contribute financially later.
Creator fee: A 10% fee is charged when podcast creators withdraw funds.
Creator withdrawals: Creators can request accumulated funds for payout, and funds are available by most transfer methods on request.
Payment processor: Lenny says subscription payments are processed through Stripe.
Privacy data: Lenny says it collects name, email, payment details, and podcast preferences to provide its services.
Privacy frameworks: The terms say personal data is handled in accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
Support: The creator portal lists [email protected] as a contact and offers video chat for creators interested in discussing their podcast.
Target users: Lenny describes its creator service as helping independent podcasters earn recurring listener support without managing paywalls, bonus content, or constant selling.
Price from: $4/mo
