Company profile
researched Aug 2026Audiopi produces audio tutorials and revision podcasts aligned to UK GCSE and A Level examination specifications. The catalogue covers English Literature, English Language, History, Sociology, Psychology, Religious Studies, Biology and Physics, together with a careers guide, and comprises more than 2,000 individual tutorials organised into subject series. Episodes are typically 10-15 minutes long (subject modules described as series of roughly 15-25 podcasts averaging around 10 minutes each), each addressing a discrete topic required by the course or exam.
Content is written by senior examiners, academics and subject-matter experts and produced by Audiopi. The product is positioned for lesson preparation, catch-up, independent study and revision, and specifically for flipped and blended learning, where teachers set a short podcast as prep before class. The company emphasises screen-free and data-free listening: material can be streamed via the website or downloaded to iOS and Android apps for offline use, and family subscriptions are delivered through mainstream podcast platforms.
Audiopi serves both schools and households. Its site states it is used by over 250 schools and by British and international schools around the world, and it cites an EdTech Impact "Teacher Recommended Award" with a 4.8/5 rating on that review platform.
Business model
Audiopi sells subscriptions to its audio tutorial library on two tracks: individual/household subscriptions and school or departmental subscriptions. Household access is offered at £7 per month per subject through Acast-hosted podcast feeds, and the website separately describes an individual subscription of £7.50 per month covering all tutorials on the platform and app. School subscriptions start from a guide price of £150 per year per topic/series and provide unlimited access for all students, teachers and parents via a single school-wide login across app, web and mobile web, with free trials, topic bundles and six-month revision packages available. The company frames school pricing as an average of well under £1 per student per topic per year.
Recurring subscription revenue from monthly household/individual subscriptions (£7 per month per subject via Acast; £7.50 per month for full website access) and annual school subscriptions priced from £150 per series or topic, with discounts for multi-topic packages and half-year revision options.
Traction
The company reports a library of more than 2,000 tutorials across nine subject areas, use by over 250 schools, and adoption by British and international schools and families. It publishes testimonials from teachers and students at named UK schools including Shrewsbury School, Churcher's College, Kings' School Winchester, St Aidan's Harrogate, Harris Falconwood and Cardinal Newman Coventry, and cites a 4.8/5 EdTech Impact rating with a Teacher Recommended Award.

Market position
Audiopi presents itself as an audio-first revision and teaching resource within the UK secondary education market, claiming use by over 250 schools plus international schools and families, and citing an EdTech Impact Teacher Recommended Award with a 4.8/5 rating.
Audiopi positions its content as written by senior examiners, academics and subject-matter experts and produced to match exam board specifications, delivered in short 10-15 minute topic-level episodes. Its stated points of difference are screen-free and data-free listening through a downloadable app, suitability across student abilities including pupils who struggle with extended reading, and use as a flipped-learning tool that frees classroom contact time.
Technology
Content is delivered as downloadable audio through the Audiopi website and iOS and Android apps, which support offline listening without a data connection, and through the Acast podcast host, which syndicates subscription feeds to Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Pocket Casts. Access for schools is managed through a single universal school-wide login.
Go-to-market
Sales run through two channels. Schools and departments are approached directly, with free extended trials, personal access for teacher CPD, no-obligation quotes, multi-topic package pricing and half-year subscriptions timed to revision programmes; the site directs prospects to a contact form and lists a telephone number. Families and students are reached through consumer podcast distribution on Acast and mainstream podcast apps, with the first five episodes of all 19 series offered free as a funnel into paid subject subscriptions. Third-party validation is sought through the EdTech Impact review platform, and the site leans heavily on teacher and student testimonials from named UK schools.
