Supercast vs Beamly

Offering premium or private episodes for members-only can unlock new business opportunities. These days selling subscriptions doesn't have to be tricky or expensive.

Trying to decide which platform works best for your show or looking for a Supercast alternative? On this post we'll share a few key differences between Supercast and Beamly and see how they compare for premium podcasts.

What's the difference between Beamly and Supercast?

Supercast helps podcasters start and sell premium subscriptions for their shows. They offer a platform to host private episodes, AMAs and includes a few simple pages as well.

Your own online space

On Beamly (formerly Podcastpage.io), you have full control. You can customize the design, layout and your content all in one place. Use your own domain and brand to make the most out of your content.

You can create a unique hub for your podcast, sell access through memberships or products and also create blog posts, videos, landing pages and much more.

While Supercast does offer a simple site/page, there’s not much customization involved.

You practically have to keep it separate from your main website or just integrate it with code on a different site platform.

Beamly offers more flexibility for your business. Make your website a one-stop-shop, and create your podcast or all other content in one place.

Fully customizable

Supercast only offers private podcasting and membership-features, so anything that goes beyond that (like a blog or custom pages) would require a lot of patchwork.

With Beamly, you get everything built-in. You can create a podcast (public or private), publish a blog, create custom landing pages, sell digital downloads, import data from other podcast RSS feeds or YouTube channels, etc.

You can then create paid subscription tiers or one-off products and monetize your content.

Beamly even imports your podcast reviews from Apple Podcasts and Podchaser, and let visitors submit their reviews straight on the website.

Maximize revenue

Beamly offers memberships at a flat rate.

Supercast takes $0.59 per subscriber per month, so scaling up to thousands of members might create a hole in your pocket. (For example, it’d cost $590/mo for 1,000 subscribers.)

Beamly offers various plans based on your number of subscribers, but you get to keep more in your pocket comparing to Supercast.
