RSS.com review

RSS.com is the strongest free starting point among dedicated podcast hosts. Its Free plan has no trial and no expiration, and it includes unlimited episodes and downloads, a podcast website, listener donations and standard download tracking. The catch is small: you add a credit card before uploading the second episode, though RSS.com says you are not charged. Plus costs $15 a month on annual billing, or $19.99 month to month, and adds programmatic ads that can start earning with as few as 10 downloads, Apple Podcasts paid subscriptions, AI transcripts, advanced analytics and YouTube videos made from audio episodes. Pro at $26 a month on annual billing hosts up to 10 podcasts with unlimited team members and all-time analytics, and Max at $37 a month adds video podcasts on Apple Podcasts and YouTube with a 70% share of eligible video ad revenue. Video is the main gap at lower tiers, since only Max hosts it.
