Best for
Podcasters and interview shows that record remotely and want cleanup, captions and AI video generation in one subscription.
Watch out for
Monthly credits do not roll over, and on a yearly plan credits arrive month by month rather than all at once.
Podcastle's own blog announced its 2024 Black Friday deal as two codes: PODBLACKFRIDAY15 for 15% off Essentials and PODBLACKFRIDAY20 for 20% off Pro. The 2025 deal we recorded moved up a tier, with 20% off Pro and 30% off Business from November 26 to December 2. Since then the company has renamed itself Async, rebuilt the plans around generation credits and added a Teams tier. A 2026 offer is plausible given two years of sales, but there is no announcement yet, and past deals were smaller than the 40% the yearly toggle already gives.

As shown on async.com on Monday, November 9, 2026. Prices can vary by region and currency.
Paying yearly is the obvious saving: the pricing page puts it at 40% and shows Essentials saving $96 a year, Pro $192 and Teams $420 per creator. The free plan is enough to test recording and audio cleanup before paying. New subscriptions also come with a 7-day refund on the first upgrade, excluding AI credits already used, which gives a short window to change your mind.

From Podcastle to Async: what changed for buyers
Podcastle has rebranded as Async, and the product moved from a podcast studio toward a chat-based video suite. The current plans still include remote recording, text to speech and audio cleanup tools such as Magic Dust, noise reduction and silence removal, but they are now built around credits that pay for generated video, images, voice and music using models such as Kling, Google Veo and Seedance.
For a podcaster, that means the recording hours and audio tools matter more than the credit count. For someone producing short videos, the credits are the main thing you are paying for.
Credit rules to read before a holiday sign-up
- Monthly plan credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over.
- On a yearly plan, credits are added monthly, not as one annual block.
- Top-up packs last until the end of a yearly subscription, or two months after purchase on monthly plans.
- Credits used to generate content are not refundable, even within the 7-day refund window.
If a Black Friday percentage only applies to monthly billing, it can still cost more over a year than the standard yearly price.
How it compares with other creator tools
For podcast editing by transcript, Descript is the long-standing alternative. If you mainly want synthetic voices or cloning, ElevenLabs is more specialised. For transcription and meeting notes rather than production, see Otter.
