For coaches, course creators, and experts
You already have something worth sharing: a course, a coaching program, a book, or a method that helps people get a result. You need a way to deliver it, sell access, and keep people engaged.
Hiro brings those jobs together. Upload existing audio, convert video to audio, import from RSS or YouTube, or use Producer (sold separately) to create an audio lead-magnet mini-course around your offer.
What makes Hiro different?
Their own feed, in the app they already use
Every listener gets their own private feed. It plays in Apple Podcasts or Spotify, next to the shows they already listen to, or in the Hiro app. Someone stops paying? Switch off just their feed. Everyone else keeps listening.
On Business and Producer, listeners can also play full episodes right on your sales page, with no app. Listening there still triggers your automations.
Sell from your own sales page
Pick a ready-made sales-page template (4 on the $67 deal, more on Business). Listeners pay and get access from the same page. Hiro takes no cut of your sales. Payment processing fees still apply.
Follow up based on listening activity
Build follow-ups around what listeners do. Welcome someone when they get access, encourage them to continue, or re-engage them after they stop listening.
Hiro supports email, SMS, WhatsApp, app notifications, and webhook workflows. The $67 deal includes 10 automations. SMS and WhatsApp run through your own provider account, which bills you directly. Available listening events depend on the player being used.
An example journey: someone buys access, receives a welcome, starts the course, gets a nudge if they become inactive, and receives a relevant next offer.
Let Producer create your lead-magnet mini-course
Give Producer your website, PDF, or existing copy. It creates an audio mini-course and supporting sales assets, including episode scripts, sales-page copy, resources, and follow-up messages.
Review and personalize the output, then record, upload, or use a supported voice-generation option for the audio.
Producer is $97 once for one show with Business-level access. It is sold separately from the $67 deal. All features are unlocked for that show, including full-episode listening on the sales page. External AI and voice-service usage may carry separate charges.

Find places to show up with Promoter
Promoter finds places your intended audience already spends time and prepares posts and comment replies to help you participate. Review the opportunities and drafts, then use them where they fit.
Coming soon: Publisher will automatically create newsletters in email and audio formats. It is not counted as an available feature in this comparison. AI product access varies by purchase and plan, and the $67 deal includes no AI credits.
Connect the tools you already use
Hiro connects through Zapier, Pabbly, and its GoHighLevel app, plus a public API on Business and Producer. Use those connections to fit private audio into your existing customer journey.

What costs extra?
Feature access and service usage are different things. Payment processing, connected messaging and email services, AI usage, and voice generation may carry additional charges or allowances. Hiro takes no cut of your sales, but payment processing fees still apply. The $67 deal includes no AI credits.
Compare the complete setup you intend to use, including hosting, sales pages, follow-ups, and connected services. A lifetime software purchase does not mean unlimited third-party services.
Moving your existing content to Hiro
Hiro supports RSS and YouTube imports. Before switching, confirm the source content is accessible and that you have permission to import it.
Test your episodes, access settings, sales page, and listener journey first. Importing audio does not automatically transfer payment subscriptions, customer records, or existing private feed links. Plan those parts of the move separately.
