Overview
Libsyn is a long-running podcast host that says it has paid out more than US$112 million to podcast creators since 2017.[2]
All plans include audio and video hosting, multi-user access, IAB-verified analytics, a customisable website and monetisation options, plus video uploads of up to 100 GB a month (about 50 hours). A US$8 plan covers the bare essentials; Basic costs US$12 a month for 3 hours of audio uploads a month with YouTube video distribution; Advanced costs US$25 for 10 hours with YouTube and Spotify video distribution; and Max costs US$150 for 55 hours. The first 30 days are free on every plan, then billing is monthly.[2] Professional and Enterprise plans are available.[2]
Libsyn’s IAB-verified statistics are relevant to shows selling advertising. Audio upload limits are set per month, and the top Max tier is expensive relative to rivals’ download-based plans.[2]
