Hear it first. Then pay as you listen.
When a host keeps a recorded Space as a podcast, you can always hear the start for free. If you want the rest, buy a ticket, or pay by the minute and stop whenever you like. The money goes to the host.
A free preview, always
Every paid podcast starts with something free: the first minute, or a clip the host picks. Hosts choose it with simple tools, like trimming a clip on YouTube: drag a start, drag an end, done.
Two ways to listen
Pay as you listen
1p a minute. The first minute is free. Pause or leave and the payments stop.
Ticket
Buy the whole episode up front for less: usually 40% of the full streaming cost.
Streaming stops charging once your payments reach the ticket price, so you never pay more than a ticket. Hosts can also make an episode completely free.
| Episode length | Ticket (buy upfront) | Pay as you listen (1p/min after the free minute, never more than the ticket) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 min | 4p | stops at 4p (after 4 paid minutes) |
| 30 min | 12p | stops at 12p |
| 60 min | 24p | stops at 24p |
Listen for a few minutes and stop, and you pay only for those minutes.
Default prices. Hosts can set their own.
Your Listening budget
Paying by the minute uses bWalletX’s streaming payments. You set a Listening budget once, and nothing goes over it.
No popup for every payment. Stop any time and you stop paying.
For hosts
- Recording is opt-in. A Space only becomes a podcast if the host says so.
- Default: 1p a minute, ticket at 40% of the full stream. Change either, or make an episode free.
- Choose the free preview: the first minute, or your own clip.
- Payments go to you, wallet to wallet.
