Prices, with the date
What we
checked.
As of 14 November 2026, Fireside’s pricing page lists three plans. Starter is $9 a month or $99 a year, with one podcast, 500 GB of monthly bandwidth, and 2 collaborators per podcast. Standard is $19 a month or $209 a year, with one podcast, 1 TB, 5 collaborators, and shareable metrics. Professional is $49 a month or $539 a year, with two podcasts, 5 TB, 10 collaborators, collaborator roles, and the option to hide Fireside branding.
Standard and Professional can add podcasts for $8 a month, or $88 a year, each. Starter cannot. Every plan lists unlimited episodes, a website, a custom domain, chapters, transcript support, and the same download analytics. The page says high-volume podcasts may need special pricing for bandwidth, and offers a hiatus option that keeps episodes online for $5 a month per podcast.
The free trial is 14 days of the selected plan, and it starts after you add payment information. For one small show, Starter at $9 is the lower sticker price. Two shows on Standard are $27 a month. Podhome is $15.99 a month or $185 a year for every show, with no bandwidth allowance and with Podhome AI included.
What Fireside does well
Fireside is a focused host with a good website for each podcast, custom pages, a blog, guests and hosts pages, and the same analytics on every plan. Starter at $9 is a low price for a single show, and the hiatus option is a fair way to keep a finished season online for $5 a month.
The meters are podcasts, collaborators, and bandwidth. Podhome does not count those, and it adds Podhome AI for transcripts, chapters, clips, and show notes, which Fireside’s plan table does not list.
