Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Hindenburg Journalist

  • The perpetual licence page publishes no price; the amount is only shown once you reach the purchase step
  • Perpetual licences are sold to individuals only and are not available to companies or educational institutions
  • Transcription is not available at all on the perpetual licence beyond a 30 hour introductory allowance that expires after the first month, because the feature requires a monthly subscription
  • Subscription transcription is metered at 20 to 50 hours per month depending on tier

Podomatic

  • Free plan caps storage at 500MB and bandwidth at 15GB per month, which Podomatic equates to roughly 300 listens
  • Pro Plus at $9.99 per month caps storage at 3GB and bandwidth at 200GB per month
  • Pro Platinum at $24.99 per month still caps bandwidth at 500GB per month
  • Unlimited storage and bandwidth require the $49.99 per month Broadcaster plan
  • Billing is metered on listener bandwidth, so a popular episode consumes the monthly allowance regardless of how few files are stored
