Each in a paragraph
PodRewind. PodRewind reads your RSS feed, writes a transcript for every episode with the speakers named, and publishes a public archive where a single search box covers every word.
Podpage. Podpage builds a podcast website from the RSS feed your host already publishes, with a page for each episode, and keeps it in sync. It shows transcripts that your feed carries or that you paste in.

Pick Podpage if
- You want a full podcast website with custom pages and design, and your feed already includes transcripts.
- Transcripts don’t matter to your listeners and a clean episode site is the goal.
Pick PodRewind if
- You have no transcripts and want every past episode transcribed without doing it yourself.
- Listeners should be able to search the whole catalog and land on the moment.
- You want named speakers in the transcripts.
Where each fits
Podpage is the website; PodRewind is the searchable archive. They read the same feed, so running both is a reasonable setup: Podpage as the home page for the show, PodRewind for search and transcripts. 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).
Questions answered
Does Podpage create transcripts?
No. Podpage says it does not create transcripts. It shows the ones in your feed or that you paste in, on Pro and above.
Do I need to change hosts for either?
No. Both read the RSS feed your current host publishes.
Which should I try first?
If transcripts and search are the goal, start with PodRewind's Free plan (5 episodes) (PodRewind pricing). If a website design is the goal, Podpage offers a 14-day trial (podpage.com).
