For podcasters
The page is free. The business underneath it is what you pay for.
Every show on 69.studio gets an app for nothing, whether the host asked for it or not. When you are ready for more, you get the parts a real show needs: unlock premium episodes, sell memberships, and bring the members you already have from another platform without making anyone switch. Add your own domain, page metrics, social media integration, media management, workflow automation, sponsor dashboards, and support from the person who actually builds it.
Where this came from
We built this for ourselves first.
We got tired of losing our favorite show. It lived on YouTube, but so did everything else, and every time we wanted to catch up we were scrolling past a hundred other videos to find it, then trying to remember which episode we had stopped on.
So we built a place that just kept up with it for us. One app for the show, our listening history saved, a calendar of what we had missed. Once it worked for one show, it was obvious it should work for any of them, and that the host of a show would want the same thing pointed the other way: members, premium episodes, and sponsor numbers that keep themselves.
It started as a way to keep up with one show. It turned into a way to run any of them.
- One show, buried in everyone else’s feed
- No way to remember where you left off
- Premium episodes stuck on whatever platform the host already used
- Sponsor numbers living in a spreadsheet nobody had time to update
Plans
Free to be here. $69 to own it. $690 to run the whole thing.
Every step includes the one before it. Move up when the show makes it worth it and not before, and drop back to the free hub any time without losing the page.
Community
For a listener who thinks a show belongs here
Anyone can add a show. Paste a YouTube link and the hub builds itself: artwork, episode list, player, search. Nothing to sign up for and nobody has to ask the host first.
Claimed
For a host who wants the page to be theirs
You prove you run the show and the hub becomes yours to edit. Write the description, pick the artwork, pin the episode you actually want people to hear first, and see who is listening.
Branded
For a show that carries its own name
Your domain, your colors, your logo. Listeners sign in with an account that belongs to your show, and the ones who pay you get episodes nobody else can hear.
Sponsors
For a show that sells its own ads
Every sponsor read, every clip, every platform it went out on, tracked nightly and handed to each sponsor as a dashboard they can log into themselves. The reporting job done by a database instead of by hand.
Studio
For a show run like a business
Everything in Sponsors, plus the parts of the job that used to eat your week: posting to every platform, keeping your media organized, and the busywork that repeats itself. Social media, sponsors, and workflow automation in one place, with support behind it.
Build time
When you need something that does not exist yet.
A plan keeps the show online and fixes what breaks. Build time is how it changes. Same money either way, so pick the pace rather than the price.
Quarterly Tune Up
The plan keeps your show online. This is how it grows. Six hours of build time a quarter and a call to decide where they go.
Monthly Build
Same money, four times the pace. Six hours of build time every month and a standing meeting to aim them.
Straight answers
Someone added my show without asking. Can you take it down?
Yes, one email to hello@69.studio and it is gone the same day. No forms and no retention pitch. A hub only ever indexes episodes you already made public on YouTube, and every play runs through YouTube’s own player, so your views and your ad reads still count on your channel.
What does claiming actually change?
The page stops being ours and starts being yours. You write the description, pick the artwork, pin the episode you want first-timers to hear, collect emails, and see what people finished versus what they quit. Everything a listener already built stays where it is.
Do you take a cut of memberships or ad sales?
No. Stripe goes to your account and sponsors pay you directly. You pay us a flat monthly number and that is the whole relationship. Payment processing is 5% plus 79 cents, which is Stripe’s fee plus the cost of running the plumbing, and platform overages are cost plus 20%.
My show is not on YouTube. Can I still use this?
From Claimed up, yes. You can upload audio directly and the hub treats it like any other episode. The free tier is YouTube only because that is the part that can build itself without anybody signing up.
How long before sponsor dashboards actually have data?
Same week. Your YouTube and X posts start reporting as soon as the registry is loaded. Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok need you to connect those accounts through OAuth once, and then they report nightly without anyone touching them again.
What happens if I cancel?
A paid hub drops back to the free Community tier rather than disappearing, so your listeners do not hit a dead link. Your data and your email list export on the way out, and we hold everything for 90 days in case you come back.
