How to choose
Start with the plan terms
A free plan may allow ongoing publishing without a subscription; a trial instead provides paid features for a set time. Check which option is available and the entry price for paid plans.
RSS.com offers a free plan, with annual-billed paid plans starting at $15 per month. Firstory has a free plan, paid options from $7 per month and a 14-day trial.
Check feeds and directories
An RSS feed carries episode details to podcast apps and directories. Compare how a platform handles RSS feeds and which directories it distributes to before moving an existing show or starting a new one.
Match limits to your workflow
The monthly upload-hours figure describes the audio allowance for a billing period. Analytics level indicates the listener information presented; weigh both against your publishing schedule and reporting needs.
Review audience and revenue tools
Private podcasts can limit access to selected listeners, while video podcast support covers shows that publish video as well as audio. Monetization tools may matter if you plan to earn from your episodes; compare these fields directly.
Choose where you can work
Platform availability is marked for web, iOS, Android, API, self-hosted and Windows. A public API can connect the host with other software, while self-hosting changes where the service runs. Check the platforms that match your setup.
Questions
What does a podcast hosting platform do?
It stores podcast audio, creates an RSS feed and distributes episodes to listening directories.
What should I compare before choosing one?
Review plan options, upload hours, RSS feeds and directory distribution, analytics, monetization tools, private podcasts and video support.
Can I use these platforms on a phone?
The board marks iOS and Android support separately. It also identifies web, Windows, API and self-hosted options.
What is the difference between a free plan and a free trial?
A free plan can continue without payment under its terms. A free trial provides paid access for a limited period before payment may apply.
Are open-source podcast hosts included?
