Pros

“It a very easy to use platform, and offers solid reporting and podcast player embed options.”

Joseph N.

Project Manager

“This is truly a great place for new podcasters looking to get their feet in the water, and don't know how to deal with all the functions that go into podcasting (IE how to submit RSS feeds, website design, and social media).”

Noah M.

Creative Mind

“As a beginner ,it has plenty of features on the free plan and I imagine that if/when I need more features, the paid plans will be more than suitable.”

Ben H.

Owner

Pros

“The only thing I'd change is being able to set the go live time in my time zone, it has a default time zone and you have to figure out that that is in relation to your own time zone for future publishing.”

Nicola G.

Content Creator

“I haven't even used some of Hubhopper's features yet such as AI-generated show notes, Canva integration for creating the podcast cover image, etc., so I look forward to exploring more and seeing how it can increase my productivity and make things easier for me.”

Seth D.

Sleep Coach

“I like the management of the features I've been using this website as my portfolio to direct my employees whenever they wish the check my ability in audio editing”

JIMMY M.

Cons

“My cohosts and/or guests had to dial in using their phone, the audio quality was awful, the chat interface was great (as long as you had a Podbean account).”

Noah M.

“On my subscription, I couldn't start another podcast.”

Cons

“Finally, on my latest podcast, the episodes have very poor sound quality: you can hear audio artefacts due to over-compression of the voices, which makes listening difficult.”

“It starts with the inability to play episodes with chapters from Apple Podcast, so it's no longer possible to create enhanced episodes.”

“Hubhopper seemed to me a good alternative to Transistor for hosting multiple podcasts on a single account, without paying extra fees. But as the months went by, the quality of their service deteriorated.”
