For your guests

Good guests are busy. Make yes the easy part.

The way you book someone is the first thing they learn about your show. show.fm keeps it short, clear and polite, from the first click to the day the episode goes out.

  1. A receipt the moment they book No wondering whether the request went through.
  2. An invite that carries the link The recording link sits in the calendar event, where they’ll look for it.
  3. A prep page that’s theirs Questions, uploads and show notes behind one private link.
  4. A thank-you when it’s live With the episode link, ready for them to share.

Questions, answered

The honest stuff.

See all FAQs
Is there a free plan?

Yes. Free gives you hosting, an RSS feed and a podcast website for one show, with 2 episodes a month and 1 GB of audio. You don’t need a card to sign up.

Upgrade when you want more episodes, AI tools, automations or a team. Compare the plans.

Can I move my podcast here without losing listeners?

Yes. We bring your episodes across from your current RSS feed and keep the same episode IDs, so podcast apps see the same show, not a new one.

You then redirect your old feed to your show.fm feed from your current host’s settings. Podcast apps follow the redirect, so your subscribers don’t need to do a thing. Moving a show in is on Creator and above. How moving works.

Can I keep my current host?

Yes, on Creator and above. Add your show using its RSS feed and use booking, guest prep and show notes alongside the host you already have.

The Free plan is for shows hosted on show.fm. If you decide to move later, we’ll help you bring your show across.

Will my show be on Apple Podcasts and Spotify?

Yes, once you submit it. We list your show on Podcast Index for you in one click. For Apple Podcasts, Spotify and the rest, you submit your feed on their site and we walk you through each step.

We check Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Podcast Index every hour and tell you when your show is listed. After that, new episodes appear everywhere on their own. More on distribution.

Do my guests need an account?

No. Guests get a private link to their own prep page, where they can read their notes and questions and message you. There’s no password to remember.

Guests are free on every plan and never take up a team seat.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel from your settings and your plan stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for.

Your first payment on a paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If show.fm isn’t right for you, tell us within 14 days and we’ll refund it.
