# Podcast AI Feature Eligibility Checker

# Podcast AI feature eligibility checker

Check whether a planned episode workflow fits The Podcast App's free transcript and episode chat limits, or whether it belongs in Premium features such as Premium AI summaries, chapters, flashcards, Premium Podcast Brain, Synthesis Radio, or translated audio.

Choose an account type, episode length, transcript state, and feature goal to see the likely path.

| Workflow | Current guidance |
| --- | --- |
| Transcript | Free listeners get one transcript creation per day for episodes up to 60 minutes. Premium expands deeper AI workflows and limits. |
| Episode chat | Free episode chat is available only after transcript data is available, within daily and weekly limits. |
| Advanced AI | Summaries, chapters, flashcards, translated audio, Podcast Brain, and Synthesis Radio should be described as Premium or eligibility-dependent, not promised for every episode. |

## Check AI limits before choosing a feature path.

The checker turns the app's real transcript, episode chat, and Premium AI boundaries into a practical decision: try the free workflow, wait for transcript readiness, or use Premium when deeper AI is the honest fit.

Download The Podcast App for free core listening, queue tools, speed controls, sleep timer, OPML, limited downloads, and optional Premium AI.

### Compare free and Premium

Use pricing when the goal is summaries, chapters, flashcards, Podcast Brain, translated audio, Synthesis Radio, or higher AI limits rather than basic playback.

### Start with the free app

Core listening stays separate from Premium AI: playback, queue tools, speed controls, sleep timer, OPML, limited downloads, limited video, limited transcripts, and limited episode chat.

### Start with transcripts

Transcript creation is the first eligibility step for many AI workflows. Free users can try limited transcript creation; advanced AI depends on transcript-backed evidence.

### Keep Brain distinct

Episode chat is not the same as cross-episode Podcast Brain. Brain uses eligible transcript-backed episodes to answer with source context.

## Start with the free player. Add Premium when the workflow needs it.

The Podcast App includes free core listening, no app-inserted ads, queue tools, speed controls, sleep timer, OPML, limited downloads, limited video, limited transcripts, and limited episode chat. Premium unlocks deeper AI features and expanded limits.
