Updated 2026-04-01Libsyn Review 2026
One of the original podcast hosting platforms, trusted by major shows since 2004. Pricing is based on monthly new upload hours (not download counts); older episodes archive and don't count against limits. Unlimited bandwidth on all plans. A lower Bare Essentials entry tier is also available at signup ($8/mo on libsyn.com).
