Through your monthly or yearly subscription to the plugin. No commission on what your listeners pay you. Zekast never imposes ads: you alone decide whether there are any, and you keep your sponsors' revenue. No reselling of your audience. If you turn on the premium paywall, your listeners pay into your own Stripe account: Stripe takes its standard fees (~1.5% + €0.25 for a European card), and Zekast takes nothing.
From the Starter plan up, you can turn on premium subscriptions in a few minutes: connect your Stripe account from the plugin settings, then choose the episodes or podcasts you want to protect. Each subscriber gets their own private, revocable RSS feed, plus an account area on your site where they manage their subscription, billing, and cancellation (without going through you). Everything is managed from your site.
Yes. Zekast imports any RSS feed, whoever your current host is. You keep your old hosting active while the new address takes effect, then you give the new address to Apple Podcasts and Spotify when you’re ready. Your listeners keep receiving your episodes without having to resubscribe.
You can. Zekast can import your feed just to present the catalog on your site (custom layouts, player, embed link), without ever republishing your feed. Your host keeps serving the feed to podcast apps. You can switch to a full migration later if you want.
That works too. You create your podcasts natively and upload the audio, but you don’t submit your feed to the apps. Handy for paid courses, nonprofit archives, internal company podcasts, and private-access audiobooks.
Managed hosting (included on every plan, starting with the free account: 1 GB and 50 GB / month on Free): you upload your files from your site, and everything is stored and delivered quickly to your listeners, with no setup. Advanced hosting (available on every plan): if you already have your own cloud hosting service, you can connect it to Zekast in a few clicks.
We warn you at 80% and then at 95% of the limit. If you go over, you can’t add any new files, but your listeners can still play the episodes already online. You can then delete content, move up to a higher plan, or use your own hosting (available on every plan).
About 20%. Starter goes from €12 to €9.58/month (€115/year). Pro goes from €39 to €31.16 (€374/year). Studio goes from €89 to €71.17 (€854/year).
Yes, from your account. No minimum term, no penalty. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid period: your metadata, your RSS feed, and your paying subscribers stay in place on your site, and the premium features (paywall, transcription, multiple podcasts) are turned off. If you use Zekast audio hosting, download your files before you cancel: they are deleted from our servers when the subscription ends (see our Terms of Sale). If you host your audio on your own Bunny.net or S3, nothing changes.
No VAT applies. Zekast is published by Ramaje Studio, a sole proprietorship (auto-entrepreneur) under the small-business VAT exemption of article 293 B of the French Tax Code (CGI): the prices shown are the prices you pay, and your invoices carry no VAT.
Your RSS feed keeps working from your site. Your audio files stay wherever you stored them. Your paying subscribers keep paying directly into your account. You can deactivate the plugin and switch to any other WordPress podcast tool without losing your audience.
Every plan gives you tokens each month (100 on Starter, 500 on Pro, 1,500 on Studio), and one token transcribes one minute. The same tokens also pay for video clips (5 per clip) and AI-generated posts (1 per post): you decide where they go. Whatever is left at the end of the month rolls over once to the next month. If you run out, you can top up starting at €12.
The free plan is all you need to publish, host, and distribute. Switch plans when your podcast calls for it, and cancel from your account.
