Audioboom

Audioboom is a host with a sales desk attached. You upload episodes. They send the show to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartRadio, and the rest. Paid self-serve plans also open Showcase, their marketplace, so advertisers can buy across the catalog. Bigger shows land on the Premium Network for live reads, host endorsements, and branded content. This is a public company running a creator network, not a hobby upload box.

It is for a show that wants the files and a way to get sold, including independent networks that have outgrown a cheap monthly host. Podcast Pros is that network desk: higher volume, contributor logins, and the premium ad options. It is not for episode one. If you only needed a friendly publish screen and no ads, this is the wrong store.

The appeal is hosting with advertising options in the same service. Check the download ceiling, eligibility and current commercial terms for the program you intend to use. Publisher partnerships do not establish suitability for every independent show.

What bites later is the listening cap on the plans you can buy yourself. Standard stops at 15,000 downloads a month. Plus stops at 50,000. Blow that and you are on Plus or a sales call. The public hosting page does not print a Podcast Pros price. You are also joining their network, not renting a silent disk.

Pick Standard while the show is small. Move to Plus when downloads grow. Write them for Podcast Pros when you run several channels or already sell ads. Import the old show, then keep the old host live 60 to 90 days after the apps catch up. If you only wanted a mailbox for files, people already pick a simpler host.

Audioboom is a network host with a marketplace. It is not a beginner weekly desk. If you want files and someone who can sell against them, it holds. If you wanted cheap and quiet, people already leave.
