  Buzzsprout sells podcast hosting on upload-hour tiers, not on API usage - the
  REST API is included with an account at no separate charge and is metered only
  by the same upload allowance as the rest of the platform. There is a free tier
  (2 hours of uploads per month, episodes hosted for 90 days) and paid plans
  priced on upload hours. The prices below are the annual-billing monthly rates
  shown on the Buzzsprout pricing page as of the review date; month-to-month
  billing costs more. An Archive plan keeps a podcast online without new uploads,
  and optional add-ons (Cohost AI, Magic Mastering) are billed on top of a base
  plan.
notes: >-
  Prices reflect annual-billing monthly equivalents from buzzsprout.com/pricing
  and may change; verify current tiers, upload allowances, and add-on pricing on
  the pricing page during reconciliation. Buzzsprout has historically also offered
  monthly-upload-hour plans; the current page prices on annual upload hours.
