5 Beamly alternatives ()
PodRewind wrote this list and is on it. The criteria come first, so you can check the order yourself.
Beamly, formerly Podcastpage.io, puts hosting, a website, transcripts and memberships in a single account. Shows look elsewhere when they want less of that, or a different piece of it done more deeply. These are the options.
Why people look beyond Beamly
- Beamly has no ongoing free plan; after its 14-day trial, Starter is $18/month billed annually (beamly.com).
- Its transcripts are searchable within an episode page. If listeners need to search the whole back catalog from a single box, check how each tool handles cross-episode search.
- Memberships, courses and digital products are a large part of Beamly. A show that does not sell anything pays for a platform built around that.
How we ranked
- Can listeners search the whole catalog together, not episode by episode?
- Does it work with the host you have, or does it expect to host the feed?
- Is there a free way to start, and what does the full catalog cost?
- Does it make videos for social platforms from audio-only episodes?
5 options
1. PodRewind
Compared with Beamly, PodRewind skips hosting and memberships and puts the weight on the archive: a single search across every transcript, with named speakers and moment links.
Add your RSS feed and PodRewind transcribes every episode with timestamps, names the people speaking, and publishes a public archive at yourshow.podrewind.com with a page per episode and a single search box across every transcript. PodRewind is free for 5 episodes per feed; Creator ($19/mo) and Pro ($39/mo) cover the full back catalog, with the first 1,000 hours of older episodes included and $0.20 per hour past that (PodRewind pricing).
A fit when listeners (and you) need to find what was said in any episode.
PodRewind publishes Free (5 episodes per feed), Creator at $19/month and Pro at $39/month (PodRewind pricing).
2. Podpage
Podpage is the simpler Beamly swap for a site fed by your host, provided you already have transcripts or can live without them.
Podpage builds a podcast website from the RSS feed your host already publishes, with a page for each episode. It does not host the feed and says it "doesn’t create transcripts"; it shows transcripts when your feed carries them or you paste them in, on the Pro plan and above.
A fit when you want a polished podcast website fed by your existing host and already have transcripts, or don’t need them.
Podpage publishes Basic at $12/month billed annually or $19 month to month, Pro at $19 or $29, and Elite at $39 or $59, checked September 27, 2026 (podpage.com).
3. MicNest
MicNest keeps Beamly’s bundled approach but aims it at content output, with blog posts and a newsletter instead of memberships.
MicNest describes itself as a creator platform that turns each episode into a website, an SEO blog, a newsletter, a guest page and a searchable archive. It pulls episodes from an RSS feed, YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts, transcribes them, builds searchable episode pages and makes audiogram clips.
A fit when you want a single tool to publish a site, blog posts and a newsletter from each episode, on your own domain from the Creator plan.
MicNest publishes a Free plan, Creator at $19/month ($182/year) and Growth at $59/month ($566/year), checked September 27, 2026 (micnest.ai).
4. Podsqueeze
Podsqueeze is the low-cost route for show notes, transcripts and a basic site, without the monetization tools Beamly bundles.
Podsqueeze creates podcast content from uploaded audio: transcripts, show notes, clips or audiograms, and a podcast website or landing page. Plans are sized by minutes of podcast time and a count of clips each month, and unused minutes can build up to three times the monthly amount (podsqueeze.com).
A fit for a single show that wants written assets, a handful of clips and a simple website from each weekly upload.
Podsqueeze publishes Starter at $8.99/month, Pro at $49/month, Agency Lite at $89/month and custom Enterprise pricing, checked September 27, 2026 (podsqueeze.com).
5. Headliner
Headliner is not a site builder; it fills the social video gap next to whichever site you keep.
Headliner makes podcast videos: audiograms, captioned clips and full-episode videos. It accepts an RSS feed or uploaded audio such as MP3 and WAV, transcribes in 100+ languages, exports 1080p video and can post to social platforms and YouTube (headliner.app).
A fit for audio-only shows that want waveform audiograms and captioned clips posted on a schedule, at a low monthly price.
Headliner publishes Forever Free at $0, Basic at $9.99 monthly or $7.99 billed annually, and Pro at $25.99 monthly or $19.99 billed annually, checked September 27, 2026 (headliner.app).
Match the need
| If you need | Shortlist | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Search the whole catalog | PodRewind | Cross-episode search is the core of the product. |
| A site with no transcripts needed | Podpage | Episode pages built from your feed. |
| Blog posts and a newsletter | MicNest | Both are part of its plans. |
| Social videos from audio | PodRewind Pro or Headliner | Both make captioned videos from audio files. |
Questions answered
Do I need to move my hosting to leave Beamly?
If Beamly hosts your podcast, the feed lives there, so moving hosts is a separate step. If Beamly syncs your feed from another host instead, nothing about your hosting changes.
Can I export my content from Beamly?
Beamly’s pricing FAQ says to contact them for anything you need exported, and that you own your content and customer data.
Is there a Beamly alternative with a free plan?
PodRewind's Free plan covers 5 episodes per feed (PodRewind pricing). MicNest publishes a free plan on a MicNest subdomain.
