Hiro.fm gives creators and businesses tools to create and sell private podcasts, audio courses, and audiobooks. Creators can upload audio or video, import material from YouTube or existing podcasts, and convert videos to MP3. Each show includes a no-code sales page where listeners can play audio in a browser without downloading an app. Creators can control access and its duration; Business-level plans support drip or scheduled episode releases. Listener insights include who listened, when, and for how long. Hiro lists Zapier integration and connections with Stripe, Telnyx or Twilio, and Go High Level. It also offers SMS and WhatsApp messaging, subject to applicable usage limits or third-party charges. Solo costs 57.00 USD per month and includes one creator account, three podcasts, 5,000 downloads per month, three keyword opt-ins, and ten automations; the pricing FAQ excludes drip and scheduled release on that plan. Other listed options include lifetime plans and monthly Business and Agency plans. A free trial is offered, but no duration is stated. Hiro is available on Android, iOS, web, and API.
