What they are
Podcastle
Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.
Patreon
Patreon is a membership platform where creators charge fans a monthly or per-creation fee in exchange for exclusive content, community access, or perks. Podcasters, artists, writers, and video creators use it to build a predictable income stream outside ad revenue. It takes a percentage cut of earnings rather than charging an upfront fee, which makes entry easy but gets expensive at scale.
