  Captivate sells three flat monthly subscription plans, differentiated by the
  monthly download allowance. All features - including the public API, unlimited
  podcasts under one account, unlimited team members, dynamic content insertion,
  analytics, and podcast websites - are available on every plan; only the
  download allowance changes. Every plan is billed in USD (EUR and GBP options
  also offered) and includes a 30-day free trial. Annual billing is discounted
  relative to monthly. There is no separate charge to use the API; API access is
  included with any active subscription.
notes: >-
  Prices confirmed 2026-07-05 from the Captivate Plans & Pricing FAQ. Monthly
