Fountain
What it is
Fountain is a podcast platform for publishing, analyzing, growing, and earning from shows, with listener apps for iOS and Android and access on the web. Podcasters can connect an existing feed without changing hosts for archive search, clips, social posts, and analytics; livestreams require Fountain hosting. Episodes are transcribed and indexed so users can search for guests, topics, quotes, or sponsors, or ask an agent. Fountain offers MCP connections for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients, alongside a plain API. It distributes podcasts to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Music, and says new shows are listed automatically on Podcast Index. Creators can brand clips, prepare social posts for X, Instagram, and YouTube, and approve them before publishing or scheduling. Analytics cover downloads by episode, app, country, and device, plus post performance. Listener features include offline downloads, transcripts, summaries, chapters, CarPlay, and Android Auto. A free plan is available; listed plans include Fountain Premium at $2.99 a month, Lite (podcasters) at $25 a month, and Pro (podcasters) at $50 a month.
