The easiest on-ramp into podcast hosting on the market, but the free tier's 90-day episode deletion means it's a trial dressed up as a free plan.

Affiliate program

affiliates choose between a flat 25 dollar one-time payout per paid referral or a 20% recurring commission for the life of the customer, with a lifetime cookie, per Buzzsprout's own affiliate marketplace page.

What it does

Sample subheading — replace

Buzzsprout is a Nashville-based podcast hosting company built specifically for people who've never published a podcast before and don't want to learn RSS mechanics to do it.

The standout feature is how much of the publishing workflow it automates without requiring the user to understand what's happening underneath. Upload an audio file and Buzzsprout generates the RSS feed, submits the show to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music, and builds a podcast website with embeddable players, all without touching feed XML or directory dashboards directly. In early 2026 it added video podcast distribution to YouTube and other video-first platforms.

The catch is that the free plan is really a 90-d

Who this helps

Sample subheading — replace

• A first-time podcaster who wants to publish an episode within an hour of signing up without reading documentation.

• A small business or brand running a low-frequency show (monthly or biweekly) where 4 to 15 hours of upload time a month covers everything.

• A podcaster who wants mastering and AI cohost editing handled as paid add-ons rather than managing separate audio software.

• Not a fit for a network running many shows at once or anyone needing a large permanent archive on a budget, since upload hours cap volume and the 90-day free-tier deletion pushes heavy users
