Price and cost: read the current quote
On our review date, Transistor lists monthly USD prices of $19, $49 and $99 for Starter, Professional and Business. Their monthly download allowances are 20,000, 100,000 and 250,000 respectively. Annual billing changes the commitment. Treat these as a dated comparison, not a permanent quotation; check the merchant page before buying and confirm any applicable taxes or optional services.
Find the requirement that sets the tier
A small audience does not necessarily mean the entry package meets every requirement. Write down the features the team will actually use, then identify which are included in the selected tier. Capacity and functionality are separate reasons to upgrade. Avoid choosing from a single number such as show count when private audiences or a particular publishing feature could determine the real package.
Add the costs outside hosting
Recording, editing, transcription, artwork and staff time can remain separate expenses. Our allocation tool accepts your own combined monthly estimate so the host’s headline price does not become the whole budget by accident. Keep annual purchases, one-off migration work and recurring subscriptions on separate lines. Dividing an annual bill by twelve is useful for comparison, but it does not change when cash is actually due.
Get a quote you can reproduce
Save the date, billing period, selected tier and reason for choosing it. Include the anticipated audience range and who will review a limit before it becomes a surprise. If a needed add-on has no clear price in the available documentation, leave it unknown rather than entering zero. Revisit the quote when you add a show, change format or introduce private subscribers. A reproducible estimate is more useful than a confident total built from missing assumptions.
The evidence behind this buying guidance
This guide draws on Transistor current plan table. Merchant-controlled records describe the provider’s own capabilities, terms or standards; they do not independently validate those claims. These records do not establish independent confirmation of the product claims.
Verify any current price, plan limit, label direction, compatibility rule, or commercial term that would materially change the decision. The dated source ledger shows the underlying records so this conclusion can be checked and updated.
