Buzzsprout
Hosts podcasts and distributes them to major listening apps with basic analytics.
Edition 2026
The best podcast hosting
Hosting is plumbing, and plumbing is judged on the day you move house: does the feed redirect, do the back episodes survive, do the numbers still mean the same thing.
What we look at
- You keep the RSS feed and can redirect it away
- Download figures follow the IAB measurement standard
- No storage or bandwidth cap that silences you mid-month
- Dynamic ad insertion optional, never enabled without asking
- Back catalogue downloadable in one archive
Helps if you have it: IAB certification for download measurement and a documented feed redirect.
