| The verdict | AdvertiseCast is a podcast ad marketplace with built in analytics that helps shows get discovered by sponsors and helps buyers see rate and reach data. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Mid to large shows that want to sell their own ad inventory directly and need real numbers to back up their rate card. |
| Not the best fit | Brand new shows under a few thousand downloads an episode, most buyers on the platform skip past very small shows. |
| The gotcha | Getting listed doesn't mean advertisers will find you, you still need a real audience and a decent rate card to close deals. |
