Before you launch your podcast, you must choose the right host. PodBean 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?
PodBean: good prices for an outdated interface
PodBean started in 2006. Pricewise, they're not bad. They have a free plan including a 5-hour storage, a $9 plan for unlimited hosting, and even a $29 plan including all the features.
Unfortunately, the interface is not as good as that of the other podcast hosts. It has not evolved enough over the past few years to match its rivals 😫. Same goes for the features, which are too basic. The website is obviously too limited and is not a great showcase.
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 Same goes for the interface, which might seem confusing for beginners, and for the audio players that are slightly outdated 👴.
Podcastics: the best of both worlds
Our main purpose is to offer you the best value for money in terms of podcast hosting. The Pro plan – the most popular one – costs $9.60/month and includes unlimited storage. The features are much more complete than PodBean's and Blubrry's. Your website is customizable, ad-free and includes blog articles. You have access to the best stats on the market, sexy audio players as well as many other features designed to make things easier and help your podcast grow.
