## RSS.com — Free plan

- `storage/rss-com-free-plan` | qualifies-with-caveat | evidence reported | binding per-object-cap | category media
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://rss.com
- free tier: Unlimited. Free plan: 'Unlimited episodes and unlimited audio, with no storage cap', 'no trial and no expiry date', 'Your episodes are never deleted'. Only three stated limits: one podcast per account, 30 days of analytics history, one voicemail. Max file size 2 GB per episode — with unlimited episodes that is unbounded total capacity. | unit: GB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: Max file size 2 GB | bytes: 2000000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: Unlimited. Free plan: 'Unlimited episodes and unlimited audio, with no storage cap', 'no trial and no expiry date', 'Your episodes are never deleted' | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: Free and unmetered. No bandwidth line anywhere in the Free plan or the pricing page; delivery is offloaded to Triton Digital's CDN (rsscom.pdn.tritondigital.com) behind CloudFront. Zero egress pricing to the account holder. | metered: no
- identity: institution
- interface: rest
- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): Max file size 2 GB [1]
- limits note: 2 GB per episode; one podcast per account; card on file; re-encoded to 128 kbps stereo (see reliability_note). API rate limit ~15 consecutive writes then HTTP 429 with no Retry-After header.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Official public REST API (api.rss.com/v4, X-Api-Key header, 10 keys/account) that 'create[s] new episodes, upload[s] audio' — but it is gated to the Max plan, NOT Free. On Free the only path is the web UI (no public upload endpoint verified). Third-party native integrations exist (Hindenburg, Auphonic, Zapier) but likewise target paid/API plans.
- composes with: N free accounts x unlimited episodes x 2 GB. Card required 'to verify the account' (never charged) is the only friction, so accounts are not trivially mass-produced the way an email-only signup would be. Also accepts .mkv/.mp4/.flac/.wav/.aiff/.ogg/.aac, so non-audio payloads pass the extension filter.
- reliability: RE-ENCODES. Verified live: enclosure https://content.rss.com/episodes/207227/3249482/diveclub/2026_10_20_...mp3 -> 307 -> https://rsscom.pdn.tritondigital.com/v1/download/... with a signed query string carrying br=128000 and dr=3522 (duration). 56,367,272 bytes / 3522 s = 128,035 bps, i.e. exactly 128 kbps — the original upload is NOT retrievable. Enclosure URL is permanent on content.rss.com but every fetch redirects through a signed token, so the bytes are CDN-served re-encodes, not your file.
- notes: the same as the free tier
