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.
Teachable
Teachable is a hosted course platform where creators build, publish, and sell online courses, coaching packages, and digital downloads. It handles payments, student enrollment, and content delivery in one place, making it popular with independent educators and subject-matter experts. The trade-off is that transaction fees apply on lower-tier plans, and the course editor feels dated compared to newer competitors.
