# PodCrate

> One episode in, one publish-ready crate out. No credit math.

PodCrate is a web app for indie podcasters. Upload one episode, or paste a media URL or RSS feed, and get one publish-ready crate:

- Show notes
- Chapter timestamps, including a YouTube-ready list that starts at 0:00
- 5 title options
- 3 to 5 captioned 9:16 vertical clips (audiogram when the source is audio-only)
- SRT caption files for the episode and for each clip

It is made for solo and two-host shows that edit and publish themselves. It is not a full editor and not a credit-per-minute clip suite.

## Pricing

Prices in US dollars. Checked for this product on 2026-10-16.

- Free: $0. 1 episode per month, up to 60 minutes. Full notes, chapters, and titles. 3 clips with a small PodCrate watermark.
- Indie: $9/month or $90/year. 4 episodes per month, up to 90 minutes each, 5 clips each, no watermark.
- Pro: $19/month or $190/year. 10 episodes per month, up to 180 minutes each, custom caption style, and automatic processing of new RSS episodes.
- Pay as you go: $4 per episode, up to 90 minutes, 5 clean clips. Credits stay on the account until used. Unused monthly plan episodes do not roll over.

## What it is not

- Not a replacement for Descript or Riverside if you need a full editor or a recording studio.
- Not a virality-score clip product. Opus Clip is the better comparison when you only want clips.
- Castmagic and Podsqueeze cover more of a content studio. PodCrate covers the five things a host posts that week.

## Demo

The public sample crate is The Practice Room, about recording a podcast next to a drum kit: https://podcrate.ai/sample

On https://podcrate.ai, until Stripe is connected, paid buttons and sign-up are a waitlist at https://podcrate.ai/waitlist. That form does not charge a card and does not start an upload. Locally, with no API keys, demo mode still runs the sample episode and mock checkout updates the plan without a charge.
