mowPod is a web-based platform for promoting podcasts and YouTube channels through paid campaigns, alongside tools for tracking podcast rankings. Its Boost campaign flow starts with an RSS feed and an episode; the campaign creator then enters a budget and edits the ad title and description. Boost says it delivers IAB 2.0 compliant downloads from websites. Campaigns can target geography, age, interests, and device across websites and mobile apps. Reporting covers impressions, downloads, geographic and device breakdowns, and engagement. Boost statistics are available after an approximately two-hour delay, or through the podcast hosting platform. The product range also includes Follow, which promotes Apple Podcasts and Spotify listens and followers through click-to-lander native display ads, and Pro, which offers 20-minute listens on Apple or Spotify, in-episode surveys, demographic and sentiment breakdowns, and email opt-in capture. View promotes YouTube views and subscribers with advanced targeting and in-platform results. mowPod Charts displays current and historical Apple Podcasts and Spotify rankings; visitors can explore without logging in, with optional email alerts. The site lists a free plan and a Boost charge of 0.90 USD per once. Boost’s total charge is the entered campaign budget; its example shows $100 and 111 downloads. A free demo is available.
