| The verdict | Player FM is a cross platform podcast app with decent discovery features and a following particularly strong outside the US. |
| Free tier | Available. Check the plan limits below. |
| Best for | Shows with an international audience, since Player FM has meaningful traction in markets outside North America. |
| Not the best fit | Shows exclusively targeting a US audience where the bigger apps already dominate attention. |
| The gotcha | Discovery features can surface your show to new listeners, but there's not much a publisher can actively do to influence that beyond having a good feed. |
