What PodVault is
PodVault hosts podcast audio and creates RSS feeds for public or private distribution. Private feeds use unique listener links that the creator can revoke or replace, but anyone holding an active link can access the content. Listeners can play episodes in PodVault’s web player or in podcast apps such as Apple Podcasts, Overcast and Pocket Casts. Creators can charge for access through Stripe, using one-time or recurring payments. Optional services include audio transcription and AI suggestions for episode titles and descriptions. PodVault also provides listener analytics, although its terms say analytics are in beta and may be incomplete or change. The service describes use in courses, coaching programs, memberships, seminars, author programs and ministry teaching. Plans set podcast counts, storage and monthly show-note transcription allowances; Studio also includes priority support. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is available. Creator is $7.99 a month, billed $7.99 /month for 6 months and then $15.98 /month. PodVault lists Android, iOS and web platforms, but says it has no native mobile apps. Customers needing more than 50 GB of storage or 15 podcasts are directed to contact PodVault.
