| The verdict | A network host with a sales marketplace. Self-serve until the download cap, then you talk to them. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | A mid-size independent or a small network that wants hosting and a way to get sold. Podcast Pros is for established shows and independent networks that need volume, extra logins, and live reads. |
| Not the best fit | A first-season weekly host who only wanted a pretty upload box and no ads. |
| The gotcha | Standard and Plus cap monthly downloads, and the real product is the ad marketplace, not a quiet mailbox. |

| Pricing notes | Dollars from audioboom.com/hosting opened 2026-08-26. Standard and Plus are the only public prices. Podcast Pros has no printed dollar. Showcase is named on the hosting page. Premium Network (top 250 creators, live reads) is on audioboom.com/advertisers. Do not invent a Pros rate. |
