MIBL Radio vs Zeno.FM
Zeno.FM brings its own listener app and network, no cap on simultaneous listeners, and ways to earn from ads and donations. MIBL is built to get a small station found on the open web and in the big radio directories, with lyrics your listeners can read in 19 languages — and a 30-day free start without a card.
Side by side
| MIBL Radio | Zeno.FM | |
|---|---|---|
| Free start | 30-day free station, no card. During the trial: 10 listeners, 96 kbps, and the station sleeps when nobody is listening. | 7-day free trial on Starter; a card is required to start; free plans ended in January 2025. |
| Entry paid plan | MIBL VIP Bronze: A$7.99 a month (Australian dollars). | Starter: US$28 a month as shown to us (prices may vary by country). |
| Entry plan limits | MIBL VIP Bronze: 100 listeners, 1 GB, 128 kbps, on air 24/7. | Starter: 1 station, up to 400,000 listening hours a month, up to 128 kbps, 500 AutoDJ tracks; no cap on simultaneous listeners. |
| Station page | Your own station page is included. It enters our sitemap for Google and Bing once it has a 12-word introduction or 10 songs. | A station microsite and a station website are included. |
| Radio directories | A readiness checklist, one-click listing in Radio Browser, and step-by-step guides for TuneIn, myTuner, radio.net and Streema. | Your station is listed in Zeno’s own app and network. |
| Lyrics for listeners | Lyrics are timed to the music automatically, and one button translates them into the site’s 19 languages (your plan sets how many songs a month). | Not mentioned on its broadcaster or pricing pages. |
| AI | An AI DJ on every plan: rotation, jingles and voice drops, around the clock. | None described on its broadcaster page. |
| Live | Go live from the browser or from an encoder such as Mixxx, on every plan; listeners can leave short voice messages you approve for air. | AutoDJ, scheduled shows and live; listeners can also tune in by phone. |
| Apps | An Android app on Google Play. No iOS app yet. | Listeners use the Zeno app; your own branded app is an add-on (US$59 a month plus a US$500 fee). |
| Music licensing | Not included. Play your own music, or hold the licences for what you play. | Not included («Zeno does not provide blanket music licensing»). |
