🎙 Why Blubrry Hosting Prices Are Changing (For the First Time in 20 Years)

Since 2005, Blubrry has proudly supported tens of thousands of creators in launching, growing, and monetizing their shows. From day one, our mission has been to give podcasters the tools, support, and freedom they need to thrive.

Today, we’re announcing our first-ever Standard and Advanced hosting price update, which will take effect on Oct. 1, 2025.

We’re sharing this news with more than a month’s advance notice because we believe in transparency — and because we want to give you time to explore your options, ask questions, and plan accordingly.

Here’s everything you need to know.

🙏 Why This Change Is Happening

Over the past 20 years, we’ve maintained the same pricing while consistently reinvesting in our platform — expanding bandwidth, improving reliability, offering human-powered support, and launching new tools.

Like many businesses, we’ve seen our operating costs rise significantly. But we’re not increasing prices just to keep up — we’re doing so to deliver more value to you.

This pricing update supports our continued investment in:

  • Scalable infrastructure and bandwidth
  • Industry-leading support and onboarding
  • Feature development and innovation
  • New tools designed to help you grow

🧠 Starting Oct 1st: Blubrry Podcast AI Tools Included

Alongside the price adjustment, we’re introducing a suite of Blubrry Podcast AI Tools — included in your hosting plan.

These tools are designed to:

  • Automatically generate show notes and titles
  • Create transcripts for SEO and accessibility
  • Assist in social media and promotional content
  • Help you create more and spend less time doing it

They’ll be available to all Standard and Advanced hosting customers and integrated into your dashboard — no separate tools or subscriptions required.

💵 What’s Changing: The New Pricing

These changes will go into effect on October 1, 2025, for all new customers and existing monthly subscribers on the Standard and Advanced plans.

Plan

Current Monthly New Monthly

New Annual

Standard (125MB) $12 $15 $155
Advanced (400MB) $20 $25 $260
Advanced (800MB) $40 $50 $540
Advanced (1600MB) $80 $90 $970

Note: Annual plans will also be adjusted on Oct. 1, unless locked in before the deadline (see below).

🔒 How to Lock In Your Current Rate

We know price changes are never ideal. That’s why we’re offering a way to keep your current rate for the next 12 months.

If you’re a monthly customer, you can:

  1. Switch to an annual plan before Oct. 1, 2025.
  2. Pay upfront for the year.
  3. Keep your current rate (e.g., $12/month) for a whole year.
  4. To lock in current rates until Oct. 1, 2026, go to Billing in the Dashboard, select Manage Plan, Switch to Annual, and check out.

👉 Log in to your dashboard to lock in your rate

This option is our way of saying thank you — and giving you control over how and when the change affects you.
