Podflow

What Podflow is

Podflow is a web-based tool for podcast hosts that turns an episode into show notes and marketing content. Its SEO-oriented show notes are intended to help listeners find a podcast through search. After uploading an episode and identifying the speakers, users can generate a timestamped outline, title suggestions, quotes, blog articles, guest introductions, social media content, and a transcript. Transcripts include timestamps and speaker detection. Podflow also includes Pro Sound Studio in every plan; it uses noise removal and volume leveling to enhance audio.

The service accepts audio in .mp3, .wav, .aac, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, and .wma formats, and video in .mp4, .mov, .avi, .flv, .wmv, .mkv, .webm, .mpeg, .3gp, and .m4v formats. No episode-duration limit is stated, though uploads are subject to a file-size constraint. A free plan provides one credit per month without requiring a credit card, and a free trial is offered. Monthly paid plans start at 23.00 USD for 8 uploads. Higher listed plans include 10, 20, or 60 monthly uploads; Enterprise pricing is custom. Users can also pay per upload for usage beyond a subscription limit. Podflow offers a Help Center and support chat.
