Questions before you choose

Does Mato cost only $50 per podcast episode?

No. The reviewed plans add the published-episode fee to a monthly base. Four episodes at the listed prices imply $1,400 for Launch or $3,700 for Business before additional applicable charges and taxes; those modes have different scope.

Does the cheapest Mato plan include live interviews with real guests?

The reviewed pricing places AI discussions and topic episodes in Launch and advertises live AI interviews with real guests in Business. Confirm the required content mode and deliverables rather than assuming the lower base covers every workflow.
