RedCircle review

RedCircle offers new podcasters a free plan with few strings plus a path to ad income. The Core plan costs nothing and includes unlimited storage, episodes and downloads for 1 podcast, distribution to all major platforms, free importing and redirecting and standard analytics. Growth costs $14.99 a month after a 7-day free trial and adds unlimited hosted podcasts, advanced analytics, instant payouts, generated videos and transcripts for episodes, and an ad-free podcast webpage. Pro at $29.99 a month adds video file uploads, one-click distribution to YouTube, five team seats, premium analytics and the option to run your own ads. RedCircle says historical analytics never expire on either Core or Growth. The limits for a beginner are the single podcast on Core, support response times of up to 72 hours on the free plan, and video only from the Pro tier.
