Will my subscribers’ feed URL change if they upgrade or downgrade their plan?

No. A subscriber’s private feed URL stays the same regardless of plan changes — including when they move from a paid tier to a free one. Upgrading from Basic to Premium, switching billing from monthly to annual, or downgrading from a paid plan to the free listener tier: none of these change the URL or require re-adding the feed in a podcast app.

This is different from platforms that issue separate feed URLs per tier, or that treat free-tier members as a separate subscriber class with a different feed endpoint. On Benecaster, the token is tied to the person, not the plan. Their podcast app just sees updated episode availability on the next poll — no action required on their end.

For your subscribers: a stable URL means their listening history is intact after a plan change. Podcast apps record played status, download history, and in-progress timestamps against the feed URL. If the URL changed, the app would treat it as a brand new podcast — every episode would show as unplayed and anything in progress would be lost. With Benecaster, a subscriber who upgrades or downgrades picks up exactly where they left off.

For you: fewer drop-offs at tier transitions. When a URL change forces a subscriber to manually re-add a feed, a meaningful share of them simply don’t — they churn not because they wanted to leave but because the friction got in the way. A stable URL removes that friction entirely.

The feed URL only changes if a subscriber’s token is explicitly reset — by them or by you. Cancelling and later resubscribing does not change it: the same token is restored, and their app carries on.
