What they are
Buzzsprout
Buzzsprout hosts podcast audio files and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and a dozen other directories from a single dashboard. It's used by solo podcasters and small teams who want reliable hosting without managing RSS feeds manually. The free plan stores only 90 days of episodes, which pushes serious creators toward a paid tier quickly. At $15 per month the entry paid plan covers most hobbyist needs.
ConvertKit
ConvertKit is an email marketing platform aimed at bloggers, podcasters, course creators, and independent writers who need to grow and monetize a subscriber list. It combines email broadcasts, automated sequences, landing pages, and a paid newsletter feature in one place. The interface is simpler than enterprise tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, which makes onboarding fast but limits advanced design flexibility.
