Billing FAQ

How does billing work?

Podscribe bills for measurement & verification (airchecks, issue flags) based on a progressive tiered CPM, where you pay only for what you use, with no commitment required. The more impressions you use, the more you save.

For example, the first 2 million podcast impressions in a month are to be billed at a $1.50 CPM. Then the next 3 million impressions that month are to be billed at a $1.35 CPM, and so on.

 

So if a month has 7 million podcast impressions, the total cost is 2 million impressions @ 1.50 CPM + 3 million impressions @ 1.35 CPM + 2 million impressions @ $1.20 CPM = $9,450.

 

Note that YouTube views for simulcast buys are billed at the podcast rates, and streaming/CTV/in-app/display impressions are billed at separate tiers, displayed above in the right table.

 

In addition, there is a $250/mo platform fee for servicing the account and keeping it active.

Additionally, Podscribe offers these optional add-ons for $1500/mo each:

  • Research & planning — Vet a show based on past sponsors and audience data. Scout competitors, and search through transcripts. Demo.
  • Dedicated support slack channel — If your team is in Slack and you’d like a higher service tier, this add-on provides faster response times through direct slack messaging & huddling our success and engineering teams.
  • Google sheet campaign sync — If you have dozens of campaigns or an manage your campaigns currently in a Google sheet, save time by having our system auto-import from your Google sheet (almost all formats work with no changes needed). We can also sync airchecks, impression counts, and performance data back into your Google Sheet as part of this add-on.

When and how are measurement usage invoices sent?

Within the first 2 weeks of a month, Podscribe will send invoices for the prior month, auto-charging your card on file. As needed, Podscribe can also:

  • Separate invoices per advertiser, if your account has multiple advertisers.
  • Provide a detailed per campaign and day breakdown of usage
Are there free trials?

No. Our team gives tremendous focus towards making the experience for paying customers a success, but can only do so for committed users.

Are there refunds?

All sales are final. However, if you believe your invoice was incorrect or wrongly charged, please email billing@podscribe.com and we will do our best to make everything right.
