Hiro.fm has emerged as the long-awaited solution that podcast creators like me have been longing for. Before its debut on Appsumo, I was already a user who had purchased books from Carla and other podcasters. I believed Hiro.fm was the right platform to host my premium content, and my intuition proved correct when I acquired tier 2 on Appsumo.

Unlike numerous platforms for hosting public podcasts, Hiro.fm stood out by offering the ability to shield my content from unauthorized downloads and make my audios entirely private. It's tailor-made for those seeking to monetize their premium content, be it audiobooks, courses, or podcasts.

I find it puzzling when I come across negative comments about the project's developer because determining if Hiro.fm suits your needs is straightforward with a free account and a few days of trial. For a more substantial investment, consider purchasing tier 1 and giving it a 60-day trial, backed by a refund policy ensuring you can get your money back if it doesn't meet your expectations.

I didn't just secure an account for my podcasts; I also got one for my wife and another for one of my virtual school teachers - all tier 2. This attests to the immense value Hiro.fm offers.

There are numerous reasons why I adore Hiro.fm. It provides robust anti-piracy measures, ensuring the security of premium content. I made every effort to download and record my own audio files but was unsuccessful, which is fantastic news. Hiro.fm offers complete control over access duration and content visibility, allowing drip-feeding episodes for evergreen products. Moreover, it utilizes cutting-edge technology and features its own GPT as your co-pilot in creating captivating headlines and show summaries. It even transcribes entire episodes in your chosen language, providing summaries and notes about your podcast.

Hiro.fm allows seamless import of content from other platforms and offers a custom domain with CNAME. It enables automatic release of episodes and triggers messages as listeners tune in. Additionally, it provides an embeddable player for your website or app and supports Zapier integration, unlocking even more powerful features.

While there are areas I hope to see improvements in, such as translation options, alternative SMS providers, embedding HTML code into the website, and more payment options in Latin America, it's reassuring to know that Carla is open to implementing these suggestions in the future.

In my personal opinion, Hiro.fm is one of the best SaaS companies, allowing you to earn thousands of dollars selling premium audio content. I believe the future belongs to audio platforms, as our lives become more hectic, and we often lack the time to watch a screen but can always spare a moment to listen to audio while driving, working, or exercising.

Thank you, Carla, for bringing Hiro.fm to Appsumo. I commend you with a 5-taco rating for a job well done!
