PodEmbed is fully hosted — there's nothing to install or deploy. After you purchase, you get a license key. Use our configurator to customize colors and settings, then paste one script tag on your website. That's it.

Ask AI lets your listeners type a question about any episode — like “Where do they talk about pricing?” or “What was that book they mentioned?” — and get an instant, accurate answer drawn from that episode's transcript. Every answer comes with a clickable timestamp that jumps straight to the moment in the audio. Because it works from the full transcript, it understands the whole conversation, not just the title or description.

Very accurate. Transcription is powered by Deepgram's Nova-3 model with punctuation, speaker identification, and smart formatting. It's excellent for clear English-language audio; heavy accents, crosstalk, or low-quality recordings may introduce occasional errors. These transcripts are what power Ask AI, episode summaries, and in-player search.

Yes. PodEmbed works with any podcast that has an RSS feed — Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Anchor, Podbean, Transistor, Simplecast, Apple Podcasts, and any other host.

Any website that supports custom HTML: WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, Shopify, static sites, or your own custom-built site. If you can paste a script tag, PodEmbed works.

Not at all. You need to be able to paste a script tag into your website. If you've ever added a YouTube or Google Analytics embed, you can use PodEmbed. The configurator generates everything for you.

When you enter your RSS feed URL, PodEmbed analyzes your podcast artwork and extracts a brand-appropriate accent color and background color automatically. You can always override them with your own hex values.

If your podcast episodes include chapter markers (in Podlove Simple Chapters or Podcasting 2.0 format), PodEmbed displays them as clickable timestamps so listeners can jump to specific sections of an episode.

No. PodEmbed loads every episode from your RSS feed with no listener limits or bandwidth restrictions. Play counts, downloads, and analytics stay with your podcast host — PodEmbed doesn't interfere.

Yes. All future updates and new features are included with your purchase. Updates happen automatically — no action needed on your end.

The AI tier is $12/month or $99/year (save 31%). The Core player ($49 one-time) is required first — the AI tier is an add-on. You can cancel anytime and your existing transcripts and summaries remain accessible.

Your 20 most recent episodes are transcribed when you start, and every new episode is transcribed automatically while you're subscribed. To transcribe older episodes, you can unlock your back catalog with a one-time purchase based on its size — up to 50 episodes for $49, up to 100 for $99, up to 200 for $199, and we'll give you a custom quote for anything larger. That's about $1 per episode — a fraction of what standalone transcription services charge — and once transcribed, those episodes are searchable and Ask-AI-ready forever.

Absolutely. Start with the Core player and add the AI tier whenever you're ready. Once activated, AI features appear automatically in your player — no code changes needed.
