Free tier	Available. Check the plan limits below.
Best for	Weekly hosts and hyperlocal or hobby shows that want unlimited files at no charge. One-show hosts who want program ads from about 10 downloads a month. People running a handful of shows, or video plus a catalog. Networks that need their own ad campaigns, on a custom plan.
Not the best fit	People who will not put a card on file even for the free plan. Hosts who want video with no ads unless they talk to sales. Anyone who needs a recorder or a full editor in the host.
