| The verdict | Video-first hosting with one upload for YouTube, Spotify video and audio everywhere else. |
| Free tier | No free tier listed. A trial may be available. |
| Best for | Video podcasters who want unified publishing, cross-platform analytics and optional AI clips without juggling five dashboards. |
| Not the best fit | Audio-only hobby shows on a tight budget, or anyone who needs several shows on one flat subscription. |
| The gotcha | Each podcast is a separate subscription. Basic has no AI clips; YouTube-to-Spotify auto-sync needs Pro ($100/mo) or higher. |
| Public plans | Read public plan notes
|
| Pricing notes | Annual billing is about 20% below monthly. Downloads exclude YouTube views; they cover Spotify, Apple and other audio platforms. Unlimited team members and transcripts are included on all tiers. |
