Beamly review (): what it does, who it’s for, what it costs
Beamly, the new name for Podcastpage.io, combines podcast hosting, a website, generated transcripts and ways to sell memberships and products. It is a broad creator platform. It suits shows that plan to earn from their audience on their own site.

What Beamly is
Beamly announced the rebrand from Podcastpage.io on its own site. The website builder connects to your RSS feed and keeps episode pages updated, and you can either keep your existing host or move hosting to Beamly.
New episodes get a generated transcript, and Beamly also tries to import transcripts already in your feed. Transcripts are editable, including speaker names, and visitors can search within the transcript on an episode page. Beamly also places VTT transcript files in your RSS feed.
How you get in: Self-serve with a 14-day trial and no credit card (beamly.com). There is no ongoing free plan.
Pricing
Beamly publishes Starter at $18/month, Creator at $30/month and Business at $64/month, each billed annually, checked September 27, 2026 (beamly.com).
The pricing page offers a 14-day trial with no credit card (beamly.com); there is no ongoing free plan.
What it does well
- Monetization is built in. The Creator plan lists paid memberships, private feeds, digital products and courses.
- Flexible on hosting. You can keep the host you have and sync, or consolidate hosting into Beamly later.
- Plain ownership terms. The pricing FAQ says you own your content, subscriptions, domain and customer data, and that you are never locked in.
Limitations we could verify
- No free plan after the trial; Starter is $18/month billed annually (beamly.com).
- Export is by request: the pricing FAQ says to contact Beamly for anything you need exported.
- After you cancel, the site stays up to the end of the billing cycle and is then suspended.
Audiograms and generated visuals are not confirmed on the pages we checked.
Who should pick it
- You want to sell memberships or courses from the podcast site.
- You would rather have hosting and the website in a single account.
Who should look elsewhere
- You do not sell anything and want the archive and search to be the whole product.
- You want to start free and stay free while you test.
How PodRewind differs
PodRewind does not host podcasts or sell memberships. It turns the feed you already have into a public archive where a single search box covers every transcript, and each result plays from the moment it was said. That is the part to compare if listeners ask which episode covered something.
