Your own online space

On Beamly (formerly Podcastpage.io), you have full control over your design, layout, and content on your own domain.

You can create a branded hub for your podcast, sell access through memberships, and publish supporting content in one place. This is useful when your private podcast is part of a larger content strategy.

Supercast includes a customizable sales page and strong subscription workflows, but most creators still have to pair it with a separate website setup.

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 is focused on podcast subscriptions. If your business extends into a full content website, you may need additional tools.

With Beamly, you can run a full podcast membership platform in one system. You can create a podcast (public or private), publish a blog, build custom landing pages, sell digital downloads, and import from podcast RSS feeds or YouTube channels.

You can then create paid subscription tiers or one-off products and monetize across formats.

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

Maximize revenue

Supercast charges $0.59 per subscriber per month. As memberships grow, this scales linearly:

100 subscribers = $59/month platform fee
500 subscribers = $295/month platform fee
1,000 subscribers = $590/month platform fee

Beamly offers fixed plans and 0% platform fees on memberships and product sales, so many creators retain more margin as they grow. Your plan start with 1,000 members, and you can scale that as you grow.

To compare, the price for 1,000 subscribers on Beamly would be $39/month, while the same subscriber limit would set you back $590/month on Supercast.
