Determining the price of starting a podcast is one of the first questions you have to ask yourself as an entrepreneur if you want to launch your own show. The costs, however, depend greatly on whether you invest in your own technical equipment, or instead rent a professionally equipped podcast studio.
What are the main podcast costs?
A business-level podcast requires a suitable microphone, interface, headphones, lighting, acoustic treatment, as well as recording and editing software. If you want to achieve all this in-house, the investment can easily reach 1.5–2 million forints, not to mention the time you spend acquiring the professional knowledge, fixing technical errors and on post-production.
And that is just the beginning – hours of editing, organising the raw material, audio mixing and colour correction can be an additional burden.

Own studio vs. studio rental
Many people do not take into account that recording is actually only the first step – the quality of the end result depends on the technical post-production. A professional studio, by contrast, saves not only time but also cost.
Not a single minute is wasted on technical errors, and the sound and image already meet business expectations from the very first recording. On top of that, content elements that are key from a marketing point of view – such as short video clips or thumbnail images – are in many cases already part of the package.
