  • Spreaker vs SoundCloud: what is the best podcast host?


    Podcastics • Community

    Before you launch your podcast, you must choose the right host. Spreaker and SoundCloud are among the best podcast hosts on the market, but which one is the best for you? Also, is there a third option available?

    Spreaker: a thorough tool, but a remote customer service

    spreaker.jpg.7e887122b066dcbf832d6a2cd08fb78a.jpgSpreaker is apparently flawless. It was launched in 2010 and is quite a thorough host; it has almost all the features any podcaster needs – swift and easy broadcasting on all the platforms, a free plan for up to 10 episodes, an €8/month plan including a high storage capacity (up to 100 hours), etc.

    However, the €8/month plan only features a basic statistics module. For more detailed stats, you must go for the €20/month plan 💸 or pay even more if you need all the stats in detail.

    Spreaker has a couple of flaws too; the interface is slightly messy, and it feels a bit distant from the users. You can only contact the customer service by email, and you often must send reminders to get a reply.

    SoundCloud: a platform for musicians, not podcasters

    soundcloud.jpg.6144af1de4707dd7174ddb463e7bb542.jpgWhen you are a beginner and don’t know anything about podcast hosting, SoundCloud is the first name that pops in your mind. You can’t fight it! SoundCloud has built a strong reputation among musicians 🎸 and people in general.

    The problem is that SoundCloud was made for musicians, not for podcasters. There aren’t many podcast features; the interface is just not made for podcasts and there aren’t any updates to fix that. Let’s get straight to the point: no podcaster should use SoundCloud . Any other platform is better.

    Also, don’t think that using a famous platform like SoundCloud will help you reach a wider audience. Most people don’t use SoundCloud for podcasts. They prefer real podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or Spotify. To sum things up, there are no pros and quite a lot of cons!
