  Acast sells podcast hosting on tiered subscription plans. A free Starter plan
  covers basic hosting and distribution. The paid Influencer plan adds
  multi-show hosting, sponsorships, and monetization tools. The Ace plan is the
  first tier to include Publishing API access and Webhooks, along with team and
  network management. The Acast Creator Network is a custom, invite/qualification
  enterprise tier for established creators that also includes API and Webhook
  access. Prices shown are from the Acast pricing page and are quoted in EUR;
  currency and exact amounts vary by region and billing period.
notes: >-
  API access is NOT included on Starter or Influencer - only on Ace and the
  Creator Network. Verify current prices, currency, and feature inclusions on the
  Acast pricing page during reconciliation. Annual billing is cheaper per month
  than monthly billing.
