What they are
Libsyn
Libsyn is one of the oldest podcast hosting platforms, used by independent creators and major media networks to store, distribute, and monetize audio shows. It handles RSS feed management, automatic distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories, and offers dynamic ad insertion for revenue generation. The pricing tiers are based on monthly upload storage rather than total storage, which can feel counterintuitive compared to newer competitors.
RSS.com
RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that stores audio files, generates an RSS feed, and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Independent podcasters and small teams use it to get shows live without technical setup. The platform includes basic analytics and a simple website builder, though advanced analytics and monetization tools are thin compared to some competitors.
