How much does a podcast cost? Software, an agency, or us.
How much does a podcast cost? For a B2B show, $29 to about $10,000 a month, depending on who does the work. Software like Riverside's agents costs least, but you stay the producer, and your own hours are the real bill. An agency does the work, mostly for $2,100 to $10,000 a month. We do the work for $399 a month at our launch price ($699 after the first 10 shows): you record and approve, we do the rest. Looking for Give the Mic alternatives? These are the other two routes.

What a month costs. Drawn to scale.
Monthly list prices in US dollars, checked on 28 October 2026, plus what your own hours cost when you do the work yourself. One bar per option, on the same scale, so a $39 plan really is a sliver next to a $10,000 retainer.
