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.

Podia

Podia is an all-in-one platform for creators who want to sell online courses, digital downloads, webinars, and memberships without stitching together separate tools. It includes built-in email marketing and a simple storefront, making it practical for coaches, educators, and independent creators. The tradeoff is that its course builder and analytics are less advanced than dedicated competitors like Teachable or Kajabi.
