What counts as an hour?
Any audio or video you bring in: recordings in Rebel, file uploads, and imports from a link, Dropbox or Google Drive. We count the length of the file. Editing, making the final file, publishing and AI on episodes you already have never use hours.
Does importing my old episodes use hours?
Importing a show from its RSS feed is free. Transcribing an imported episode does use hours: its length, counted once. You choose which episodes to transcribe.
What happens when I run out of hours?
New recordings, uploads and link imports pause until your next billing period. Buy extra hours or move up a plan to keep going; everything else keeps working in the meantime.
What if my show goes over its downloads?
Nothing stops. Listeners always get the episode. We tell you, and you can move up to a plan with more downloads.
Where does my show go, and who holds the listings?
Rebel hosts your RSS feed and your public show and episode pages. YouTube: your own channel, after you connect it. Spotify: we list the show on Rebel Audio's own Spotify account. Ads are on (except on a show made for children), and we pay you 90% of what Spotify pays us for your show and keep 10%. If your show is already on Spotify with its own monetization, that monetization ends. Apple Podcasts: press Set up once, and we submit your show from Rebel's Apple account. Ask us and we move the listing to your own Apple account. Section 8 of the Terms has the details.
What is a Rebel email address?
Podcast apps show a contact email that anyone can read, spammers included. So Rebel gives you a free address, and one for each show, ending in @shows.rebelaudio.ai. Mail sent to a show's address is kept in the show's Inbox for 90 days and forwarded to you; on Studio and Network, where a workspace can have admins, it also goes to the workspace's owners and admins. Messages that look like spam are held back. You can swap an address for a fresh one once a day.
Is Free a trial?
No. Free is a plan, not a trial. It needs no card and has no end date. Like every plan, we can change it; the Terms explain how.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes, whenever you like, from Settings › Billing.
Is AI really included?
Yes. Show notes, titles, covers and Ask Rebel are included on every plan. The limits grow with your plan's hours and start again on the 1st of each month (your hours follow your billing period instead).
Each month, for each hour in your plan: 100 Ask Rebel messages and 5 AI cover images. Each plan above shows its total.
Each episode, each month:
· Title and description: 11 new versions together. Rebel's first title and first description use 2 of them.
· Show notes: 11 new versions.
· Cover: 11 new versions.
Every new cover uses one of the episode's 11 and one of your plan's AI cover images for the month.
Bigger plans use better AI models. Settings › Usage shows what you have used, and the app tells you when you are close to a limit.
What languages does Rebel work in?
The app is in English and Spanish: pick one under Settings › Profile › App language. This website and the legal documents are in English. Rebel transcribes English and many other languages, and on Creator, Studio and Network, dubbing makes a copy of an episode in another language.
