Pricing

Pay-per-event for each delivered podcast or episode row.

  • Empty search results → not charged
  • Exact $/1k is on the Store pricing tab

Limitations (honest)

  • Uses itunes.apple.com/search and /lookup — Apple may throttle heavy traffic
  • averageRating / ratingCount are frequently absent on search results
  • feedUrl is not always present on every search hit
  • Episode lookup returns a limited recent set (use maxEpisodesPerPodcast)
  • Not a full historical episode archive; not Apple Podcasts Connect analytics
