What a year of DistillCast actually buys

Follow 10 podcasts and you're looking at roughly 20 hours of new episodes a week. DistillCast turns that into about 2 hours of recaps — and hands the rest back.

Pricing questions

What if I add more podcasts? +

It's a flat rate. Add as many as you follow — the price doesn't change and there's nothing to count. It's built for one person's real listening habit.

Can I cancel? +

Anytime, in one click from your account page. No email, no support ticket, no phone tree. You keep access through the end of the period you've paid for.

What happens to my feed if I stop? +

New recaps stop being made, and your private feed stops updating. Your podcast subscriptions are untouched — they were never routed through us.

Is the founder price really for life? +

Yes. Subscribe at the founder price and it's locked for as long as you stay subscribed — it doesn't rise at renewal.

What's not included — plainly

—It's not a replacement for your subscriptions. It's a catch-up feed alongside them.
—Podcasts without a public RSS feed (Spotify exclusives, some paywalled shows) can't be distilled.
—No chatbot to ask an episode questions — DistillCast gives you a recap to listen to, not a Q&A tool.
—No ads injected, and we never sell your listening data. The subscription is the whole business model.

Billing happens on the web, not through an app store — cancel anytime from your billing page in one click, no phone tree, no dark patterns. Prices in USD.

Flat rate, not metered. Built for one person's listening — see fair use.
