What SpeakPipe is
SpeakPipe lets podcast listeners send voice messages through a website widget or a personal voicemail page, and podcasters can include received messages in episodes. A personal page link allows listeners to record without a website installation. SpeakPipe also offers inline widgets for webpages or blog posts and dialog widgets opened from a side button; the dialog option requires a site that allows custom HTML or JavaScript. Widget senders do not need an account and may leave a name and email address. Podcasters can send voice replies if a sender provided an email address. SpeakPipe says messages remain private within the account unless shared publicly. It supports web, Android, and iOS, with mobile access through current Chrome or Firefox on Android and Safari on iOS. The free plan is free and includes unlimited messages, recordings up to 90 seconds, 100MB storage, one widget, one voicemail page, and email notifications. Gold is $12 a month when billed annually, or $15/month when paid monthly; Premium is $36 a month when billed annually, or $45/month when paid monthly. Both paid plans include a 30-day free trial.
