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

“It gives my students access to audio courses/books on mobile and web along with so many audio controls such as rewind, fast forward, speed controls, looping and even the recently added sleep timer which is perfect addition for ease of audio listening experience.”

Nuno C.

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).”

Cons

“I had opened an account with one email and really needed it with another email and customer service was not able to change that because their system couldn't accommodate my request. ”

“It comes only with the stripe payment option which is an issue for me because stripe is not available in my country.”
