Jellypod, like many other AI platforms, uses a credit-based system to create podcast episodes. Most features are available to all plans, including free ones, but the biggest difference is in the amount of credits users receive.
However, Jellypod includes hosting, podcast analytics, and a bunch of other features that come included with any premium plan. These services are usually an additional cost for people trying to distribute and grow their podcast, but are included with Jellypod!
Free users receive a one-time allotment of 1000 audio generation credits. This does not refill monthly. Users can get more credits by upgrading to any paid plan.
Paid subscribers receive monthly distributions of credits depending on the current plan. Jellypod offers both monthly and annual plans, with annual plans receiving a ~25% discount compared to monthly and also distribute all your year's credits upfront.

More Credit Information
Credits are only used when generating audio; you can outline, script, and plan episodes without any limits. One credit is equal to one second of audio generated (so 1 minute of audio = 60 credits).
Credits roll over month to month and never expire as long as you maintain an active subscription.
How does the math work out?
Here's a quick breakdown of converting credits to audio.
1000 credits = 16 mins, 40 secs of podcasting
2500 credits = 41 mins, 40 secs of podcasting
8000 credits = 2 hours, 13 minutes, 20 sec of podcasting
20,000 credits = 5 hours, 33 minutes, 20 sec of podcasting
Tips for Managing Credit Usage
Here are a few tips to optimize your credit consumption:
Plan your audio segments: Estimate the approximate length to ensure you use only as many credits as needed.
Avoid unnecessary regenerations: Review the text script before generating audio to make sure everything is correct before using credits on audio generation. If you do have a mistake, you'll be able to address it with a regeneration of a particular speech block.
Being mindful of these practices can help you make the most of your Jellypod subscription credits.
