Frequently asked questions
How much does podcast production cost per episode?
Freelance podcast editors charge €80 to €350 per episode depending on the raw recording quality and episode length. Basic editing (cuts, levels) sits at the lower end. Full production with music, sound design, chapter markers, and show notes costs €200 to €400 per episode. Monthly retainers for ongoing shows typically start at €800.
What should a podcast production quote cover?
List editing, sound levelling, intro and outro music, show notes, chapter markers, and distribution. If you're handling RSS hosting, list that separately. Some clients also want short social media audio clips cut from each episode. Quote these as separate add-ons.
Should podcast producers charge monthly or per episode?
Per-episode pricing works best for shows with inconsistent release schedules. Monthly retainers work better for weekly or twice-weekly shows where the workload is predictable. A monthly retainer at €800 to €1,500 usually covers four episodes. Either approach is fine as long as the quote spells it out clearly.
