The short version

  • Only Pocketcasts has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CapCut homepage names a free tier but publishes no price for Pro plans, requiring users to click through to a separate page to find a figure; Pocketcasts two paid tiers above the free app: Plus and Patron, but no figures are shown in the fetchable page content
