Stop renting your audience from a platform. Your podcast gets its own app, your own subscription tiers, and a subscriber list that belongs to you.
- Your own subscribers
- Paid tiers built in
- Publishes from YouTube
What Podcast app actually is
Every podcast platform you publish on keeps the relationship with your listener and rents it back to you as reach. This is the other way round: your show gets an app with your name on it, listeners install it from a link, and if you charge for something they pay you through your own gateway. You keep publishing wherever you already publish — this is the layer where the audience becomes yours. Almost everyone who reaches this page already publishes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube and has realised the listener belongs to the platform rather than to the show. This is the layer where that changes, without giving up any of those platforms.

Questions people ask
Do I have to stop publishing on Spotify or YouTube?
No. Keep publishing wherever you already do. This is the layer on top where listeners who want more become your own subscribers, on an app you own, paying you directly.
How do listeners get the app?
They open your link and add it to their home screen. It works on Android and iPhone and behaves like a normal app. There is no app store submission, no approval wait, and no store commission on your subscriptions.
What does it cost?
Nothing to launch. Podcast apps run on a tiered commission of subscription revenue rather than the flat 5% the on-demand apps use — your exact rate is shown during setup before you commit.
Can I sync episodes from YouTube automatically?
Yes. Connect the channel, verify you own it, and new episodes sync across as you publish them. You choose which ones are free and which need a subscription.
Can I charge different prices for different tiers?
Yes. Set as many tiers as you want at your own prices, and decide per episode which tier it belongs to. Payment is collected through your own gateway.
Who owns my subscriber list?
You do. The subscribers, the payment relationship and the content sit under your business, which is the entire point of running your own app rather than building on somebody else's platform.
Can I keep publishing on Spotify and YouTube as well?
Yes, and you should. Keep publishing exactly where you publish now — those platforms are how new listeners find you. This app is where the listeners who want more become your own paying subscribers, on an app carrying your name, paying you through your own gateway.
Is this like Patreon for a podcast?
The revenue idea is similar — listeners pay for extra access — but the shape is different in two ways that matter. Your supporters get a real branded app on their home screen rather than a page on somebody else's site, and the subscriber list and payment relationship sit inside your own business.
