Buzzsprout Review 2026
Easy-to-use podcast hosting with analytics and distribution to major directories. Plans are grouped as Audio (single show), Audio + Video (Apple Podcasts video supported), or Multi-Podcast (shared upload pool across 5 or 10 shows). Upload allowance is time-based per billing cycle; annual plans allocate a yearly hour pool and do not support overage (upgrade instead). The public pricing page often quotes per-month equivalents for annual subscriptions; Buzzsprout also lists classic monthly tiers (about $18–$78/month with 6–35 hours monthly—verify at checkout). Paid plans include high-quality transcripts at no extra cost; Cohost AI is optional.
