The book is the product, and every revision cycle forces a repurchase.

Who it's for
Built for teams whose content is the product.
Most platforms are video-first, so the book and the audio end up as afterthoughts somewhere else. Slingshott treats all three as equals — whatever you publish, and whoever you publish it to.
Skilled trades & technical training
A workforce that is never at a desk — audio during drive time is a real unmet behaviour.
- Apprenticeship and licensing prep
- Trade schools and training alliances
- Field teams on phones, not desktops
Certification & continuing education
Renewal is mandated, so the purchase recurs — and the reporting has to hold up.
- CE providers and credentialing bodies
- Licence renewal and exam prep
- Employer-funded seats needing SSO
Courses, coaching & memberships
Sell a programme in your own app instead of renting a generic course portal.
- Cohort and self-paced programmes
- Membership and subscription libraries
- Workbooks and lessons side by side
Associations & member societies
Publications and Education usually run on separate vendors with separate logins.
- Professional societies and trade bodies
- Member benefits behind one identity
- Journals, courses and events together
Enterprise & internal libraries
A training or comms library your whole organisation logs into, under your governance.
- SSO against your existing directory
- Group-based access by team or region
- Multi-brand and franchise networks
Media & podcast networks
Move your audience off rented platforms and onto property you actually control.
- Multi-show podcast networks
- Independent studios and publishers
- Free feed plus a paid subscriber tier
Culinary, craft & lifestyle
The book, the show, and the podcast already exist — just in three different places.
- Test kitchens and food media brands
- Craft, hobby and special-interest catalogues
- Heavy existing commerce footprints
Donor-funded education & institutions
The content is free and the platform is the funnel — success is donors, not MRR.
- Policy institutes and civic education
- Great-books and lecture programmes
- Museums, archives and audio guides
The question we ask on every call
“Where do your members get your book, your podcast, and your video today?”
Three different vendors is the usual answer — fragmented subscriber lists and no single view of the audience. That's the pain Slingshott removes, whether you're consolidating what you already run or launching your first library from scratch.
Also a fit: music and sheet-music publishing, language learning, aviation training, public-safety policy, and K-12 and higher-ed supplemental.
Multi-format content
Video, audio, books, and articles in one library.
Most platforms make you pick a lane. Slingshott treats every format as first-class, so a single subscription can unlock a documentary, its companion audiobook, and the field guide that goes with them.
Video
Adaptive-bitrate playback with the controls viewers already expect — resume, scrubbing, captions, and picture-in-picture.
AirPlay & Chromecast to the big screen
Audio
A Spotify-grade listening experience for audiobooks, albums, and audio courses, with queueing and background playback.
AirPlay, CarPlay & Android Auto
eBooks
A built-in reader that delivers your books straight to readers — no third-party store, no revenue share, no app switching.
Bookmarks, adjustable type, night mode
Articles
Pull in publications, blogs, and newsletters over RSS so written content sits alongside everything else in the library.
Automatic RSS sync from your CMS
Mix and match by plan — start with the formats you publish today and add video or eBooks when you need them.
Podcast syndication
Every feed you publish, running in your own app.
Spotify, Apple, and YouTube own the audience relationship on your behalf. Import as many RSS feeds as you like — podcasts and YouTube playlists alike — and your whole back catalogue lands in a branded app where the audience, the analytics, and the revenue are yours.
Bring every show, not just one
Point Slingshott at as many feeds as you publish. Episodes, artwork, show notes, and chapters come across intact — a single show or an entire network.
YouTube playlists too
Your YouTube playlists import over RSS the same way a podcast does, so video you already publish there shows up in the app alongside everything else.
Stays in sync automatically
New episodes appear in your apps as soon as they hit the feed. Nothing to re-upload, no parallel publishing workflow.
Keep the open feed, add a paid tier
Run your public shows alongside subscriber-only feeds in the same app, gated by group or individual access.

Integrated commerce
Take payment wherever your customers already are.
Slingshott plugs into the commerce stack you already run rather than replacing it. Sell through your existing storefront and access is granted in the app automatically.
- Sell subscriptions, bundles, or one-off titles
- Keep checkout on the storefront you already run
- Entitlements sync straight through to the apps

Group licensing
Sell to teams, and let them run themselves.
Your biggest orders are rarely one person. Groups can buy seats on your platform and then manage their own membership — so a 200-seat deal costs you one checkout, not two hundred support requests.
One purchase, many people
A company, school, or chapter buys a block of seats through your normal checkout — the same storefront everyone else uses.
They administer themselves
Their own admin invites, removes, and reassigns members from inside the app. No tickets to your support team every time someone joins or leaves.
Access follows the roster
Add a member and they get the group’s content immediately. Remove one and access ends. Entitlements stay in sync without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
Analytics
Don't guess. Know what your audience does.
Playback, completion, drop-off, and purchase events stream into the tools your team already trusts — product analytics, a CDP like Segment, ad platforms via the Meta Conversions API, your CRM, or straight into your own warehouse. Your data stays yours.

Onboarding & migration
You are not doing the migration alone.
Launching a platform stalls on the unglamorous parts — getting the catalogue across, matching the brand, clearing app review. We work through all of it with you.
- 1
Brand it
We apply your logo, palette, and typography across web, iOS, and Android — or hand the source to your own team.
- 2
Move your content
Bulk CSV upload, RSS import, or a direct API migration from whatever platform you are leaving behind.
- 3
Wire up commerce & access
Connect Stripe, Shopify, or BigCommerce, map your entitlements, and point SSO at your identity provider.
- 4
Ship to the stores
We handle App Store and Play Store submission, then stay on hand for releases and support afterwards.

Flat platform fee. Usage you can predict.

FAQ
Questions we get on every call.
If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we'd rather answer it now than on the third call.
- Most of the schedule is your content and the app stores, not the build. Branding and configuration are measured in days; catalogue migration depends on library size; App Store and Play Store review typically add one to two weeks on top. We give you a dated plan on the demo call.
- Yours. The apps ship on your developer accounts, under your name, with your logo, palette, and typography. Slingshott is invisible to your audience.
- You do — both. Content stays yours, and analytics events stream into your own destinations, including your own warehouse. There is no lock-in on the data layer.
- Yes. Content comes across by bulk CSV upload, RSS import, or a direct API migration, and our team runs the migration with you as part of onboarding.
- Nothing breaks. Storage above your plan allowance is billed at $0.025 per GB per month, and on the video plan bandwidth above the included 24 TB per year is billed at $5 per TB. The calculator above shows what that works out to for your numbers.
- Yes — Slingshott connects to your existing login system so members do not need a second set of credentials, and access can be granted to whole groups or to individuals.
- Yes. A group can purchase seats through your normal checkout and then manage their own membership — their admin invites, removes, and reassigns members from inside the app, and content access follows the roster automatically. A large deal costs you one transaction rather than ongoing member admin.
- Yes. Multi-channel support lets you run distinct content channels and brands from a single back end — common for franchise networks, regional divisions, and podcast networks with several shows.
- Yes. Beyond branding and configuration, our professional services team can take on custom work against your requirements. That is scoped and handled per contract — talk to sales.
