No surprises: cancel Premium anytime, restore purchases in one tap, and every free limit is spelled out below. When nine shows cover the same story, you'll know — Bubbling shows you, and jumps to the minute each one gets to it. Free: your first 3 summaries need no account. Sign up free for 5 new summaries every month. PodSized turns long podcast episodes into structured summaries you can read in about five minutes — then keeps them, organized, so you can come back to what you learned. — WHAT'S FREE, EXACTLY — • 3 summaries with no account at all • With a free account: 5 new summaries every month • Every summary you unlock stays in your library, synced across your devices • The full timestamped transcript and the chapter outline for each summary you unlock • One-tap export to Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Readwise or NotebookLM • Your Feed and Bubbling • Your first audio summary is on us, so you can hear it before you pay — WHAT PREMIUM ADDS ($4.99/month) — • Unlimited summaries • Audio summaries: a roughly five-minute spoken version of the episode • Radio: your newest audio summaries, back to back, hands-free • Play the thread: one story, stitched together from every show that covered it • AI chat with any episode, or with a show's whole back catalog • CarPlay Cancel anytime from Manage Subscription in the app's account menu, or from your Apple ID settings. Restore Purchases is in Settings and on the Premium screen. Premium is tied to your PodSized account, so it follows you when you sign in on another device. — BUBBLING: THE STORY ACROSS SHOWS — When many independent podcasts pick up the same story, PodSized groups them into one card: how many shows covered it, which ones you follow, and when the whole conversation is happening outside your feed ("9 shows covered this — none in your feed"). Tap in and "Also covered this" lists the shows you don't follow, each with a timecode that drops you straight into the moment it discusses the story. Bubbling is free. — A LEARNING SYSTEM, NOT JUST A PLAYER — CAPTURE Follow the shows you care about. New episodes from popular shows are summarized as they come out. For anything else, unlock an episode yourself; it's usually ready in under a minute. READ THE NOTES Every summary is structured: headers, key points and direct quotes, built for skimming. The timestamped outline shows where each topic lives, and tapping a timestamp jumps you there in the episode. ORGANIZE Your Feed lists the latest summaries from every show you follow, newest first, with a clear end point so you know when you're caught up. Your Library keeps everything you've unlocked, with sort and search. EXPORT Copy any summary as Markdown for Obsidian, Logseq or Notion, or send it to NotebookLM or Readwise from the share sheet. The episode link, outline and quotes come with it. REVISIT Transcripts are timestamped so you can find the exact line again. With Premium, ask the episode a follow-up question, or ask a whole show what it has said about a topic, and get answers that cite the episodes they came from. — FOR BACKLOGS AND COMMUTES — • Triage a backlog in minutes: read the summary, then decide whether the full episode deserves 90 minutes • Every Feed row shows two lengths, the summary's and the full episode's, and plays either one • Premium: Radio plays your audio summaries back to back, and CarPlay puts them on your dashboard — WHO IT'S FOR — PodSized is built for people who listen to learn: business, technology, investing, science, health, news and history. Coverage is deepest in business and technology. Available on iPhone, Android and the web, with one account across all three. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
