  Transistor sells flat monthly (or yearly) subscription plans for podcast
  hosting. Every paid plan includes unlimited podcasts (shows), unlimited team
  collaborators, advanced analytics, a built-in podcast website, and full API
  access. Plans differ by included monthly downloads and the number of private
  podcast subscribers. Yearly billing is offered at 12 months for the price of
  10. API access is not billed separately - it is included with the
  subscription; the API is rate-limited to 10 requests per 10 seconds.
