Before you launch your podcast, you must choose the right host. Anchor and Blubrry are among the best podcast hosts on the market, but which one is the best for you? Also, is there a third option available?
Anchor: a free yet limited option
Anchor is still the biggest host in the world today 🥇, but mainly because it is free-of-charge. It was bought up by Spotify in 2019 and has become most beginners’ favorite. We think it is interesting for those whose podcast is not a priority, for instance YouTubers looking for a new way to share their audio contents, or people who want to upload the highlights of a Zoom meeting.
For such users, Anchor is great. Not only is it free, but it is also user-friendly. It features IAB-certified stats and provides you with a webpage. However, if you are ambitious and aim for more, Anchor might not meet your expectations; there aren’t many features, the interface is quite basic, the stats are limited, and Anchor ads will feature on your podcast website.
Blubrry: a gadget-like Wordpress plug-in
Blubrry is one of the oldest American hosts. The interface is quite popular, and the price is okay – $10/month for 125mb without advanced stats, which are available for $17/month. As for the platform itself, it features a Wordpress plug-in through which you can manage your podcast directly from your website.
The truth is that this plug-in is quite useless in fact. It even seems to bring you back to the early days of the Internet sometimes. Same goes for the interface, which might seem confusing for beginners, and for the audio players that are slightly outdated 👴.
