Methodology & sources
- Monthly cost = plan price (monthly, or the annual price ÷ 12) + any paid extra podcasts. USD, before tax.
- A plan fits when its listed caps hold your podcasts, downloads and upload hours, and it lists video hosting if you need video. A dash means the pricing page lists no cap.
- Fireside caps bandwidth, not downloads: a Fireside plan counts only up to the downloads its bandwidth covers at Fireside's maximum file size.
- Ties are broken by name. Affiliate status is never used.
