Monetization

Let's get that bread

Many folks start podcasting out of passion, but realize that the expenses involved can add up quickly. Pinecast makes it easy to start making money with our Tip Jar.

The tip jar lets your listeners create recurring or one-month subscriptions to your podcast. Paid subscribers can hear episodes that you mark as private (or "premium") and send messages directly to your feedback inbox.

We handle it all

We take care of all of the ins and outs of accepting payments.

• US tax reporting (1099s)
• Payouts to your bank or debit card
• Currency conversion
• Fraud monitoring
• Subscription management

Once your tip jar is set up and your first episode is published, you can start accepting subscriptions immediately.

Countries and Currencies

Our country support is broad so you can use our tip jar all over the world. Accept payments in any of these natively-supported currencies:

• Australian Dollar
• Brazilian Real
• Bulgarian Lev
• Canadian Dollar
• Czech Koruna
• Danish Krone
• Euro
• Hong Kong Dollar
• Hungarian Forint
• Japanese Yen
• New Zealand Dollar
• Norwegian Krone
• Polish Złoty
• Pound Sterling
• Romanian Leu
• Singapore Dollar
• Swedish Krone
• Swiss Franc
• US Dollar

For all listeners

Pinecast's tip jar works for all listeners, regardless of which app they use. We provide a unique, private RSS feed to each subscribers that works in any podcast app that can subscribe via RSS.

We also have a web dashboard for listeners that prefer to use their browser. They'll find that it keeps track of episodes they've listened to, just like if they used an app on their phone.

No convenience fees

Many platforms, like the Apple Podcasters Program, take a cut of each payment. These fees can be 30% or more. Pinecast doesn't take a cut of your earnings: you only pay a 2.9% + $0.30 fee (or equivalent) per payment.
