How much does a video podcast cost?

A finished video podcast episode from ikone productions costs between €1,950 net (Munich studio) and €3,950 net (shot on location at your premises). If we record several episodes on one day, the price per episode drops, for example to €2,250 for two episodes on location. Audio episodes start at €860.

The price depends mainly on three things: the number of episodes, the production effort (studio or mobile, number of cameras) and the scope of post-production.

A single production is the easiest to book and simple to budget. A season means more planning, dramaturgy and coordination, but gives you continuity and reach in return. ikone productions prices transparently based on your project: per season for a recurring format, per shoot for one-off productions.

All prices on this page come from our 2026 price list. In the initial call, we work out the actual figures for your project. This page explains which factors determine the price, so you can plan realistically.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a guide price?

Yes. A finished video episode costs from €1,950 net in our Munich studio and €3,950 net for a shoot on location, audio episodes from €860. The exact amount depends on the number of episodes, the location and post-production. Tell us your scope and goal, and we will send you a concrete quote promptly.

Is a video podcast more expensive than an audio podcast?

In production, yes, because camera, lighting and video editing are added. In return, you get material for significantly more channels from one shoot. More on this: Video podcast vs. audio podcast.

How do we pay?

Unless otherwise agreed, with a 50% deposit on order confirmation and payment due within 14 days. For seasons, we agree a separate payment plan. We put the terms in writing before production starts.

Are guest booking or location included in the price?

Not by default, but on request. We list additional services such as guest booking, external locations or hosting transparently and separately.
