## FAQ

### What is Call.Show?

Call.Show is voicemail for podcasts. You get a personal call.show link; listeners tap one button to leave a voice message up to two minutes, and it lands in your inbox with an AI transcript, title, and summary, ready to play on air.

### How is Call.Show different from SpeakPipe or Telbee?

Same core idea, a recording link that collects listener voice messages, but Call.Show is built for podcasters with one flat price ($60/year, no message caps or per-minute fees), AI transcripts, titles and summaries on every message, a shared team inbox for up to five people, and a beautiful one-tap recording page. No apps or accounts for your listeners.

### How is Call.Show different from Podline?

Podline is the closest tool to Call.Show. Both transcribe and summarize every listener message. The differences: Podline's paid plans run $240 to $600 per year per creator, while Call.Show is $60 per year flat and includes a shared inbox for up to five people. Podline adds webhooks and listener threading if you need those. Full comparison at call.show/vs/podline.

### Is there a free plan?

No, and that's deliberate. One flat $60/year is the whole pricing model: no caps, no tiers, no upsells. The free plans in this category are capped teasers (90-second limits, 10-message inboxes, storage caps) designed to move you onto monthly plans that cost $144 to $600 a year. I'd rather charge one fair price and give you everything.

### Can listeners record from their phone?

Yes, the page is mobile-first. One tap to record. No app to install.

### Can I get consent to play a message on my show?

Of course! All listeners consent to your using their audio before sending their message.

### What happens to voicemails I don't use?

They sit in your inbox until you archive them. Nothing is auto-deleted while your subscription is active.

### Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from settings and keep access until your term ends. After cancellation there's a 30-day grace window where you can still log in to download messages or resume the subscription.

### Is this just for big shows?

Nope. Indie shows, established shows, newsletter podcasts. Call.Show is built for anyone who wants to hear back from their audience, not chase download counts.

### Can I download messages?

Yes. Each message has a download button that saves the audio as an .m4a file, with the transcript and AI summary visible alongside in the inbox so you can copy them out.

### Do I need WAV files for broadcast quality?

Not from a voicemail tool. Every tool in this category records in the listener's browser, which captures compressed audio (Opus or AAC) from a phone or laptop mic. The capture, not the export format, is the quality ceiling. Call.Show's .m4a download carries the full quality the browser recorded and drops straight into any editor.

### Does Call.Show work with my podcast host?

Yes. Call.Show is independent of your hosting. Whether you're on Buzzsprout, Transistor, Libsyn, Podbean, Spotify or anywhere else, your call.show link works the same. And it stays with you if you ever switch hosts.
