Soundwise is a Great Choice For Your Premium Content

Since this deal launched nearly 6 years ago, I’m not sure how many people will see this. But I think it’s important to share.

Soundwise is a great choice to sell your premium content from. The delivery system is similar to other leading audio apps where 'downloaded' content in only available via their mobile app.

I’m sharing this so creators can make an informed decision. If protecting your paid content matters to you, Soundwise is a great choice to start with.

Although there are a few bugs and improvements needed with their app, they are working to improve it along with functionality - so if you have questions, suggestions or concerns, reach out. They are responsive and care about their product.

Nothing useful for the year 2025 even all basic features are required montly plan upgrade!! Too limited and not sure why i need this when i needed to pay a subscription upgrade again!! Truly Shocked with your offering -..-"

The plan is tooooooo limited especially on the basic featuer yet also the Payment setup as well.

From my first trial after see Soundwise for a long time on Appsumo.

I felt it is too limited esepcailly a general basic feature like Category or Folder of the media arrangment.
This should not need further upgrade :(
Not able to notify listener when a new podcast available... need further upgrade again :(
Can't even trim.. need further upgrade again :(
Not even have a basic report of how many playing time becasue Analytic need further upgrade again :(
Then,... Can't even record directly with this plan?

Everything you should need is required upgrade plan -..-"

Yet after uploaded the files we need to manually type on the content ourselves rather than having draft AI decribes those content for us Gzzzz!!!

Then, there is no Payout for Thailand? I cannot accpet the paymetn through other payment gateway like FIUU or former (RMS) or PayPal or etc.

I think it is a time for review the value of your offering seriously.... Not sure this is really useful one for Soloprenuer on the year 2025, seem like i will need to refunds this since my first day of these surprised experiences....

Asking to Upgrade for monthly plan

It's unfair that after the purchase it asks to upgrade to see the analytics and other options like messaging to the customers and more options have been blocked due to no subscription. very bad!

Good application, a few useful enhancements could improve the user experience

The application is easy to use.

I think it's a good solution for selling audiobooks.
Among the features I like:
- Users can listen to the book offline, without being able to download it for sharing, for example.
- PDF notes can be added to accompany the audiobook, enabling me to send readers back to view tables and graphs that are difficult to transcribe via audio.
I can sell my audio book via stripe.

So it's a great tool for selling audiobooks. For podcasts, however, there are more suitable apps on Appsumo.

Many users are dissatisfied because of the many limitations compared with the subscription-based versions. It's true that it's a bit frustrating, but I tend to qualify that because you can already market audiobooks easily and effectively for an unbeatable price.

On the other hand, I'd put 4* and not 5*, because the basic information is not translatable into the main non-English languages (such as French), even though it doesn't require any major development.

All in all, a good application, with a few useful improvements that could enhance the user experience.

Wanted it to work...

I really wanted this to work for my 50+ library of fiction audiobook novels...but it just doesn't. The "essentials" plan doesn't include anything useful and isn't even listed on their website...because it's not a real plan. If you want to do anything useful with it, you'll have to upgrade, so there is no value to this LTD...sadly.
