Instead of Podbean

Podbean alternatives

Podbean supports podcast hosting and publishing with RSS feeds, major-directory distribution, advanced analytics, monetization, private podcasts, and video podcasts. Its iPhone and Android apps cover recording, publishing, statistics, and listening. The free plan provides 5 hours or 500MB of storage, 100GB monthly bandwidth, three published episodes per day, and a 100MB single-file limit. Paid plans start at $12/mo (annual), while larger plans add upload capacity, video hours, private podcasts, team access, and AI credits.

Readers may look elsewhere when they want a listening app across more device types, offline playback, transcripts, or cross-device sync rather than creator hosting. Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Overcast, Castbox, Player FM, Podcast Republic, and Castro center on discovering or playing shows. Compare platform coverage, private-feed support, video and transcript features, and any paid tier. Podbean emphasizes publishing tools such as monetization and analytics; these alternatives primarily serve podcast listening and discovery.
