Pricing

PureStream is free. Plus is how you will support it.

The complete podcast player — open feeds, your library, downloads, and private local-first listening — costs nothing and is not going behind a paywall. PureStream Plus is a supporter subscription for people who want independent podcast software to keep existing.

Plus is not charging yet.

The prices below are the agreed launch prices and are currently configured in Stripe test mode only. No payment can be taken from this website today, and there is nothing to cancel. We will say so here, plainly, before the first real charge is ever possible.

Two tiers, and only one of them costs anything.

Monthly billing works out at $23.88 over a year.

Free

The whole podcast app

$0 always, no account needed

  • Subscribe to any open RSS feed, and import or export your library as OPML.
  • Full player with queue, downloads, offline listening, speed, sleep timer, Trim Silence, and Volume Boost.
  • Spectra discovery by mood, topic, and the time you actually have.
  • Local-first privacy: your library and listening history stay on your device unless you turn on sync.

Capability honesty

We will not fence off what already works.

The free player is the real product

Playback, RSS and OPML, library, queue, downloads, discovery, and privacy controls stay free. Signed-out use stays free.

No feature is advertised before it exists

Plus grants a supporter status today, not a promise. Any paid capability has to be built, named, and tested before it appears here.

Losing Plus never breaks your app

If a subscription lapses, the complete free experience continues. Your library, downloads, and listening position are yours.

How billing will work

Boring, predictable, and handled by people who do this properly.

Stripe handles the payment

Card details are entered on Stripe's own hosted checkout and never touch PureStream. This website holds no payment keys.

Your listening data is not part of it

No podcast subscriptions, listening history, or Smart Segment data is sent to the payment processor.

Manage it where you bought it

Bought on the web, you manage it through the Stripe customer portal. Bought through Google Play or the App Store, you manage it there.

Cancel whenever you like

Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves Plus active until the period you already paid for ends.

The full subscription terms — trial, renewal, cancellation, failed payments, refunds, and account deletion — are set out in section 5 of the Terms of Use, and what is and is not shared with the payment processor is in section 5 of the Privacy Policy. Both are written and published before anything is on sale.
