How do I publish an ad-free version?

If you are on the Pro or Plus plan, you can launch a paid subscription for your podcast and offer ad-free episodes and other benefits to paid subscribers.

How do ad-free episodes work?

Ad-free episodes give paid subscribers on Fountain access to a version without host-read ads.

The version with ads is available in all podcast apps, while subscribers can listen to the ad-free version on Fountain. Listeners without a subscription can also unlock the full episode by purchasing it.

Fountain does not insert ads into your podcast—“ad-free” simply refers to any host-read ads you choose to remove.

Set up your subscription

Go to Settings > Subscription, enable subscriptions, and complete the required fields:

• Subscription title
• Offer message
• Monthly subscription price
• Subscriber benefits
• Thank you message

When you save your changes, the subscription will be available on your show page.
