Can I split my studio hours across the month?

Yes. Your included studio hours can be used flexibly throughout the month, subject to availability and minimum booking times.

 

What can I use the studio subscription for?

Studio subscriptions can be used for podcasts, video podcasts, social media content, talking-head videos, interviews, educational content, marketing campaigns, YouTube content and branded media production.

 

Is professional recording equipment included?

Yes. All subscriptions include access to Octopod’s professional podcast and video production setup, including studio lighting, microphones, cameras and a dedicated production lead.

 

Is 4K recording included?

4K recording is included in our Ultimate Pass and can be added as an optional upgrade across all other subscription tiers.

 

Is editing included in the subscription?

To keep subscriptions as accessible and flexible as possible, editing is not included as standard. Additional services including episode editing, social clips, trailers and content repurposing can be added at discounted subscriber rates depending on your pass.

 

Can businesses use the studio subscriptions?

Absolutely. These subscriptions are designed for both creators and businesses looking to produce consistent podcast, video and social media content each month.

 

Can multiple people use the subscription?

Yes, depending on your subscription tier. Business subscriptions can be used for team recordings, guest interviews and collaborative content sessions, though the subscription itself is non-transferable.

 

Do unused hours roll over?

Unused hours typically expire at the end of each billing cycle unless otherwise agreed as part of your subscription plan.

 

Is there a minimum term?

No. We want to keep subscriptions as flexible as possible. However, for maximum value and consistency, we recommend a minimum 6-month commitment to maintain a regular flow of content for your marketing channels.

 

Are payments refundable?

No. Subscription payments are non-refundable, including for unused studio hours or missed sessions. Your subscription reserves dedicated studio availability and production capacity each month.

 

Can I upgrade my subscription later?

Yes. You can upgrade your subscription as your content production requirements grow.

 

Is this cheaper than booking individual sessions?

For creators and brands producing regular content, subscriptions offer significantly better value compared to booking studio sessions individually each month.
