For podcasters
Paid episodes, in the app your listeners already use.
Keep your free show wherever it lives now. Put bonus, early or ad-free episodes on ByUs, and every member gets a private feed for Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and most other apps. You keep 87–91% of memberships, tips and sales.

Listeners on Spotify are covered too
Spotify doesn’t play private feeds yet. So members who listen there play every episode right on your ByUs page, in any browser, phone included. Everyone else gets their private feed in their own app.

Everything your members get
A private feed for every member
Each member gets their own podcast link that works in Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and most other podcast apps. New members-only episodes show up there automatically.
Access ends when membership ends
If someone cancels, their feed stops getting members-only episodes at the end of what they paid for. No spreadsheets, no manual removals.
Sharing protection
If a member’s link is used from far more places than one person would, we let them know and they can reset it with one click. The old link stops working right away.
Your show’s name and artwork
Members see your show’s own name, artwork and description in their podcast app, and your free episodes can sit in the same feed, so they only need one. Preview it in your own podcast app before anyone joins.
Listens per episode
See how many members played each episode, in their podcast app or on your page.
Upload episodes as posts
Attach an MP3 or M4A (up to 300 MB) to any post, add a cover photo, and make it public or members-only. Fans can also listen right on your page.
Bonus episodes, early access, ad-free
Use tiers the way you want: an ad-free feed, bonus or after-show episodes, or your back catalog. Early access is built in: members hear an episode first, and it turns free for everyone 1 to 30 days later, on its own. Or sell a single episode to non-members.
Video episodes too
Once you have paying members, your video posts play as episodes in podcast apps that show video, like Apple Podcasts, right next to your audio.
Every member hears every episode
New episodes land in each member’s own feed (for their tier), and members get an email too (up to 2 a day) unless they turn it off. No algorithm decides who hears it.
Your show never trains AI
ByUs never uses your episodes, or anything your listeners post, to train AI, and never sells or licenses them to anyone else to train AI.
No app-store fees
Listeners join and pay on the web, so no app store takes a cut of your memberships.
More than a feed
Members can message you, and you can offer paid messages or 1:1 video calls, all on the same page, paid into your own Stripe account.
Move your show in 3 steps
- 1
Set up your page
Sign up free, add your show’s name and artwork, and set your tiers. Stuck? Tap Message Evan on your dashboard and the founder helps you, free (5 AM to 9 PM Eastern).
- 2
Bring your episodes
Paste your public RSS link and your free episodes appear in members’ feed automatically. Upload bonus or ad-free episodes as MP3 or M4A files.
- 3
Bring your members
Send your members a switching link with a date you pick, like the day their old membership renews. They join today and pay $0 until that date, so nobody pays twice. Then they cancel their old membership.
You own your audience
Your fans are your relationship, not ours. If you ever leave, your list comes with you.
Your member list is yours
Download your members’ names, emails, tiers and join dates from Settings, any time. No asking, no waiting.
Take your work with you
Download your posts as a spreadsheet and export your videos at full quality whenever you like.
Your own web address
Run your page on a domain you own, like yourname.com, so the link fans remember belongs to you.
Your site, your Join button
Paste a ready-made Join button into your own website, so fans can join from wherever they find you.
Podcaster questions
Do I have to move my free show?
No. Keep your free show on the host you use now. Paste its RSS link into ByUs and your free episodes show up in members’ feed next to the members-only ones. The audio keeps playing from your host.
What do members see in their podcast app?
Your show’s own name, artwork and description, with members-only and free episodes in one feed. Each member’s feed is private to them. You can preview it in your own podcast app before anyone joins.
Which podcast apps work?
Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts and Castro open with one tap, and most other apps work with Copy link. Private feeds don’t play in Spotify yet, so Spotify listeners can play every episode right on your ByUs page.
What happens if a member shares their feed link?
If a link is used from far more places than one person would, we let the member know and they can reset it with one tap. The old link stops working right away. And when a membership ends, members-only episodes stop arriving.
Can I sell a single episode?
Yes. You can let non-members buy any members-only episode on its own, for $5 to $500. Your members still get it free.
What does ByUs cost?
It’s free to start. ByUs keeps a share of each payment: 13% to start and as low as 9% as your sales grow, with card processing included. The first 50 US creators to reach $250 in a month keep 90% for good.
Can I post video episodes?
Yes. Video posts play on your page, and once you have paying members they also play as episodes in podcast apps that show video, like Apple Podcasts.
