Pricing
Our Pricing Philosophy is simple: clear, fair, transparent.
Great audio doesn’t need to come with bloated budgets or hidden overheads.
At Pistil, we scope smart and price honestly. You’ll always see a detailed, line-item budget — with options at different levels and clarity on exactly what each cost covers.
We work lean and agile, building bespoke teams paid fair, industry-standard rates. That means you get the right people for the job, without paying for unnecessary extras.
If your budget and scope don’t align, we’ll tell you straight and suggest alternatives that still deliver impact.

Our Process
Our process is tailored to your needs, whether you’re a curious prospect or a long-term partner.
Step 1: We Talk
A quick call to hear what you want, what impact you want to make, and what you don’t yet know.
Together we’ll define if and how we can help — whether that’s a mainstream podcast, an industry-focused YouTube series, or social-first audio assets.
Step 2: We Assess
If you like how we think, we’ll go deeper. This can be a one-off paid consultation (to support your in-house team) or a free proposal leading into production.
We’ll map the problems you need to solve and present a tailored plan - from taking an idea off the whiteboard to building a polished podcast, or giving your CEO some tips on how to be a great host.
Step 3: We Build
We agree workflow and expectations, then handpick your producer - someone who knows your industry and format. We’ll find them. Same goes for bespoke theme music, sound design, or engineering polish - we tap into our trusted global network.
Step 4: We Discover & Train
Your producer maps your series or content arc. If your CEO or in-house experts are hosting, we equip them with top-line media training - the same coaching we give seasoned industry talent.
Step 5: We Pre-Produce & Produce
Great podcasts start with structure. We plan content arcs and strategy, source guests, and draft scripts or outlines, then line up recording schedules and equipment. This upfront discipline keeps delivery smooth and costs predictable.
Step 6: We Shape the Sound
Post-production is where raw tape becomes art. Producers curate, editors refine, sound designers create the listening experience, and engineers ensure everything meets industry standards.
Step 7: We Deliver & Connect
We deliver final assets, with show notes and uploads ready for your chosen platform. While we don’t run PR campaigns in-house, we’ll connect you with trusted partners like Podcast Discovery - specialists in sponsorship, ads, and audience growth.
