Buzzsprout

Beginner-friendly host with a free plan and upload-hour pricing

Overview

Buzzsprout is a podcast host aimed at independent creators, and its site states that more than 111,000 podcasters use it.[1]

Paid plans are priced by upload hours. The Audio plan costs US$15 a month billed annually for up to 72 upload hours a year; Audio + Video costs US$25 a month billed annually and publishes 1080p video to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube; a Multi-Podcast plan costs US$30 a month billed annually for up to five or ten podcasts and 180 upload hours a year. Additional upload time on annual plans is billed monthly at the plan’s hourly rate.[1]

The free plan includes two hours of uploads a month, with episodes hosted for 90 days, and excludes paid add-ons and video distribution. An Archive plan at US$5 a month keeps a podcast live without new uploads.[1] Buzzsprout’s upload-hour model is easy to understand; multiple shows require the higher-priced plan, and free-plan episodes expire.[1]
