What to look for in
podcast studio software.
The short answer: software built around how a studio sells, not around a calendar. It should know a room can be several setups, sell more on every booking, cover the session and everything after it, and never take a cut of what you earn.
See how Podyx runs a studioIt knows one room can be four setups.
A studio sells the same room as an audio setup, a video setup and a set with a different backdrop. Booking any of them should block the rest of that room on its own, with no workarounds to build.
It sells more on every booking.
Bundles, memberships, add-ons at checkout and pricing rules such as a weekend surcharge or a last-minute discount. These are what lift the spend per session, so they belong in the booking flow.
It turns the client’s profile into their production hub.
Clients choose how they get their files when they book, and you charge for each option. Files arrive in their own profile from your Google Drive or Dropbox, with video review, brand guidelines and session briefs in the same place. No round of email and WeTransfer links.
It gets you paid without chasing.
Payment links that expire and remind the client on their own, invoices that go out automatically with your numbering, and no fee on top of the card processor’s. Podyx takes none.
It lets clients look after themselves.
Rescheduling, cancelling with a refund preview, adding guests who get their own invitation, buying an add-on after booking. Every one of those is a WhatsApp message you no longer answer.
It tells you how the studio is doing.
Earned per hour, utilisation by room, how often clients take an add-on. A general tool counts appointments; a studio needs the numbers it runs the business on.
