Our verdict
Podimo suits listeners who want a cheap audio subscription rather than a permanent library, since the monthly fee of €6.99 buys a fixed 20 hours of listening each month. Readers who want to keep what they bought, or who prefer buying titles outright, should look at Audible instead.

- Offline listening is available, so downloaded shows work without a connection
- Podimo ranks among the higher-rated brands on monthly price in this category

What it does well
Podimo is an audio subscription with podcasts and audiobooks drawn from a catalogue of 70,000 titles, and the content types listed are audiobooks and podcasts. Access runs on an hour cap of 20 hours per month, so what you can listen to each month has a ceiling rather than a limit of titles. A free trial of 30 days gives a full month to browse before the first payment, and offline listening is available for downloads made during the subscription. Keep after cancel is not offered, which means downloads end with the subscription.
Where it sits among rivals
Against the brands ranked in this category, Podimo sits in the upper group on monthly price, at rank 3 of 22, and at rank 7 of 24 on price from. The free trial of 30 days is a strong showing, ranking 3 of 16 brands on trial length, and the hours cap of 20 places Podimo at rank 4 of 4 on that measure, since only a few caps are listed. Catalogue depth is the weaker side: 70,000 titles puts Podimo at rank 11 of 20 brands on catalogue size, well below the category median of 240,000. On price, Podimo sits below the group median of €11.43 a month.
Pricing
The Podimo monthly plan costs €6.99, and the price from figure is €6.99. Both figures are quoted in the source currency of the plan rather than a converted local amount, so readers in other markets should expect the price to shift with the exchange rate. The monthly rate sits under the category median of €11.43 a month and under the wider site median of €18.59, which puts Podimo in the cheaper part of the field for a subscription with this kind of content.
Who runs it
Podimo is run by Podimo ApS, a company based in Denmark, and it was founded in 2019. Support is provided through email and help centre, which means written channels rather than a live phone or chat line. The company is a European publisher of audio subscriptions with a catalogue drawn largely from its own and licensed shows.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Podimo cost each month?+
The Podimo monthly plan is priced at €6.99, and the figure listed as the price from is €6.99. Both are quoted in the plan's own currency rather than a converted local amount, so the amount billed outside that market can move with exchange rates. Neither figure is a one-off charge.
Is there a free trial before the first payment?+
Yes, the free trial runs for 30 days, which is a full month of access before billing starts. That is a generous trial by the standards of this category, where the group median sits at 10 days. It gives enough time to try the audiobooks and podcast side of the catalogue.
How many hours can I listen to each month?+
Access is limited to 20 hours per month, so listening is capped rather than unlimited. If you finish the cap early in the month, new listening waits until the next period. Listeners who expect to run long series at speed should budget their hours around that limit.
How big is the Podimo catalogue?+
The catalogue holds 70,000 titles covering audiobooks and podcasts. Across the brands ranked on catalogue size, that places Podimo at position 11 of 20, below the category median of 240,000. The range is broad in genre terms but limited in depth for a single title.
What happens to downloaded titles if I cancel?+
Nothing is kept after the subscription ends, so downloads on your account go with it. Any audio saved for offline use stays available while the plan is running, and offline listening itself is supported. Plan ahead if you want to finish a long book away from a connection before the billing period ends.
Which countries does Podimo serve?+
The company behind the plan is Podimo ApS, registered in Denmark, and the pricing published here is quoted in the plan's own currency. That means the service is oriented towards European markets rather than a single global price list. Availability and billing outside that region depend on the local store you sign up through.
How do I get help from Podimo?+
Support is offered through email and help centre, so questions are handled in writing through those channels. There is no live phone or chat route listed for the plan. A help centre covers the common account and billing questions, which suits self-service troubleshooting.
Can I listen without an internet connection?+
Yes, offline listening is available, so you can download shows and audiobooks and play them without a connection. Downloads are tied to an active subscription, so they are useful while travelling or commuting rather than as a permanent copy. Combine them with the 30 day trial to test how the app behaves on a commute.
