Pros

“Being able to customize the background artwork on our audio waveforms and turn our header banner into a direct, clickable link.”

Angela W.

Graphic Designer

“As someone balancing the roles of a casual listener and a page manager for an independent artist, my overall experience with SoundCloud has been incredible.”

Angela W.

Graphic Designer

“Maybe soundcloud can learn from this and offer a better alternative to subscribing their users to become better seen when soundcloud isn't a production company and doesn't guarantee results.”

Steven C.

CEO-BOSS

Pros

“Great but I switch to riverside because It givves me better analitics a website and, publishes better to YouTube. But Anchor now known as Spotify for Creators is great for a begginer Podcaster.”

Baxter W.

Managing Director

“The ease of use going from uploading your audio assets to then sharing your podcast to all major outlets is very helpful”

Jeremy H.

Host and Owner

“It's hard to complain that a free service doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles.”

Michael C.

Owner

Cons

“Unresponsive customer service and ignoring the fact that there was a lot of spam clogging the channel.”

M. C.

Podcaster

“This can be pretty limiting and can prevent artists who are just starting from reaching a large fanbase before investing in something that could not earn back.”

Elijah P.

CEO

“In almost all my attempts to appeal copyright issues, I was not successful.”
