What Podlink is
Podlink is podcast analytics and post-production software that works with a creator’s existing podcast host and RSS feed. Its free plan includes OP3 download analytics without an episode cap, listener app and country breakdowns, and a podlink.fm page with listening links, recent episodes from the RSS feed, and links the user adds. Podlink says it works with standard feeds from hosts including Buzzsprout, Transistor, Libsyn, Captivate, and Acast, without requiring a host change.
The paid Episode Content Kit drafts show notes, titles, descriptions, newsletters, and social posts from episode transcripts. Users approve drafts; nothing publishes automatically. Pro also includes automatic transcription for new episodes, tracked links, episode pages, templates, and multilingual output. Transcription credits are metered, and users choose which episodes to transcribe. Podlink connects to public RSS feeds, OP3, YouTube, and Claude or other MCP-capable assistants. Its Claude connector and analytics reads are free on every plan, though connecting requires Claude Pro or higher. Pro is $29 a month. Each account currently supports one connected show; Studio is $99 a month and is not self-serve yet.
