Provenance: podcastle.ai redirects to async.com (Podcastle rebranded as Async on 2026-01-28). async.com/pricing renders plan names/limits in HTML (Basic, Storyteller/Essentials, Pro, Teams, Business) but withholds price numbers (JS-required). Monthly prices CORRECTED from the draft's stale $14.99/$24.99 to $11.99 (Essentials/Storyteller) and $23.99 (Pro), corroborated by aichief.com, G2, and web search. Official messaging is 'Save up to 40% with yearly plans' (draft's 20% was wrong). Teams/Enterprise has no reliably published price (informal ~$39.99–$49.99) → monthlyUsd set null. 7-day free trial on paid plans; free Basic tier is permanent.
