Simplecast Finops
FinOps view of Simplecast spend. Simplecast is a subscription SaaS podcast hosting, distribution, and analytics platform owned by SiriusXM Media. Cost is driven by a recurring monthly (or annual-prepay) plan subscription, with tiers differentiated primarily by monthly download allowance, team seats, and analytics/ad features. Higher tiers (Professional, Enterprise) are custom contracts that add dynamic ad insertion, secondary feeds, and API integration. The REST API itself is not separately metered - it reads the same podcast, episode, analytics, and distribution data your plan already covers - so API usage does not add incremental cost beyond the plan subscription.
