Mato offers three pricing tiers: Launch, Business, and Network. Each tier includes core podcast production capabilities. Higher tiers unlock additional content types, customization options, and support levels.
For current prices, visit the pricing page. This article covers what each plan includes and which features are gated by tier. For starting a subscription, upgrading, downgrading, or managing payment details, see Billing.

Pricing structure
Launch and Business are billed monthly at a flat base rate plus a per-episode fee. The per-episode fee covers AI host time, audio production, transcripts, show notes, and cover art for each episode.
Network uses custom per-show pricing. Some Network agreements may include terms that are not calculated in Mato, so the workspace estimate is not a contract total.
Check the pricing page for current rates. The billing page inside your workspace also shows an estimated monthly cost breakdown based on your plan and episode count.
Plan selection during onboarding
When you create a team account during onboarding, Mato shows the plan selection step after you name your workspace. The screen displays all three plan cards side by side.
- Click a plan card to select it, or click Get started on the card you want.
- For Launch or Business, Mato opens an embedded Stripe checkout form where you enter payment details. After successful payment, Mato moves you to the optional teammate invite step.
- For Network, Mato redirects you to a confirmation page. The sales team will follow up to discuss custom pricing. You can click Back to plans to choose a different plan instead.
At the bottom of the plan selection screen, an Explore plan features button opens a modal with a side-by-side comparison of all plans and their included features.
Personal accounts (created when you choose "For personal use" during onboarding) skip the plan selection step entirely.
If you did not select a plan during onboarding, or your workspace has no active plan for any other reason, you can select one from Billing at any time.
Feature gates
Some features are restricted to specific plan tiers. Trying to access a gated feature on a plan that does not include it shows a lock icon, the feature name, and a note on which plan is required, with an upgrade path to the billing page. See Billing for the exact gate treatments.
