¶ Overview
A Premium iBroadcast membership costs $3.99/month or $44.99/year. While our free tier offers many excellent features and is fully functional at no cost, becoming a Premium member gives you access to additional features and helps support the service you love.
¶ Free vs Premium
¶ Free Tier Membership
- Unlimited storage
- Nearly unlimited streaming*
- Standard streaming bitrate of 128 Kbps
- Redownloading your library returns only original files
- Standard customer support
- No ads
- No cost
*Most free tier users will never be throttled under normal use. Only the top 5% of heavy users may experience throttling after hitting a monthly transfer threshold. You can check your usage status in the mobile apps or website under Manage Account.
¶ Premium Membership
- Unlimited storage
- Unlimited streaming
- High bitrate and lossless streaming (96 kbps – 320 Kbps, or original lossless)**
- Option to download tracks, or your entire library, with updated metadata
- Priority customer support
- No ads
- $3.99/month or $44.99/year
- Supports the ongoing development of iBroadcast
** Bitrate depends on the files you upload. The "Original" option streams in your uploaded format, though not all devices support all file types (e.g., Chromecast doesn’t support AIFF). In those cases, transcoded streams ensure compatibility across devices.
¶ Managing Your Subscription
¶ Payment Options
- You can pay with credit card, PayPal, or Google Pay.
- Need a receipt? Email support@ibroadcast.com and we’ll send it to you.
¶ Automatic Renewal
- Premium subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel.
¶ Failed Renewal
- If your payment fails (e.g., expired card), simply re-subscribe with a valid payment method.
¶ Transfer Between Accounts
- Premium memberships can be transferred. Contact support from the current Premium account and provide the email for the destination account.
- If deleting your account and starting fresh, let us know before deleting so we can note the membership and transfer it once you sign back up.
¶ Canceling Your Membership
- Where you cancel depends on where you signed up (website or app). Go to Account & Membership on the website or Profile > Account & Membership in the app for instructions.
¶ Additional Information
¶ Lifetime Subscription
- We don’t offer lifetime memberships because we incur ongoing costs for streaming, storage, and support. (Services like Plex sell software licenses, while you cover hosting—our model is different.)
¶ Other Ways to Support
- The best support is subscribing to Premium. But if you’d like to help further, consider leaving a review on the App Store or Google Play, or follow us on social media.
