Its free plan is limited to one podcast, six months of statistics, and a 20% Supporters Club fee; paid plans start at $20 per month. That price may be hard to justify if your main goal is listening rather than publishing. The alternatives below are listening apps, so weigh the devices you use and whether downloads, transcripts, video, or private feeds matter to you. They can suit podcast discovery and playback better, but they do not offer Spreaker’s stated creation, hosting, distribution, or monetization services.
