Libsyn Pricing Overview

It's simple and intuitive and easy to use, the pricing isn't bad.

It's not very nice to look at, the available tools are a little outdated (especially for the price-point), and the interactions I've had with customer support have been moderately unhelpful (and at times a little rude).

Hosting several podcasts and making them available across multiple platforms.

In the early days of podcasting, Libsyn was a great all-in-one solution for the podcasting individual. With hosting, analytics, and some light options for monetization, it was a killer solution a while back, with pricing that also worked well for solopreneurs.

Ultimately, a lot of other options came out that did a better job of user experience design than Libsyn. They lost their edge on pricing as the price went up, but not a lot was added to the mix of features.

For a podcaster, Libsyn can be the main tool used to host a podcast, get reporting on it, and even get some light monetization into the mix. For that purpose, Libsyn does a solid job of supporting its users. Recent changes didn't keep me on the platform, but I hope they continue to make progress.

The usability and functionality were what we were after when first launching our podcast. It was relatively easy to use and upload content and offers some good basic reporting to analyse reporting.

The UI and UX of the service could be improved. I find it a little dated and devalues the overall experience. I would like to have more detailed reporting to help identity what aspects of content are working best for us.

Launching a low-cost podcast from scratch and being able to actively manage it.

Libsyn makes setting up and updating your show's RSS feed very easy. It connects to most major podcast networks, which is very convenient when launching a show for the first time.

Managing multiple shows with one account can be difficult and require multiple sign-ons. Also, it would be nice if the basic plan came with the ability to export analyitcs.

Our agency manages podcasts for our clients (some of which have multiple shows). We use Libsyn to schedule episodes, managing RSS feeds, and create new shows easily.

Libsyn was very user-friendly for new podcasters who aren't super tech savvy. It also included helpful analytics every month even on the lowest/cheapest tier as well as a decent amount of audio storage.

The landing site didn't always link properly and I would have liked more storage per tier, but it was a good deal overall.

Hosting podcast audio with relative ease and low cost. We haven't recorded an episode in over a year, but I maintain my membership to continue to keep the old episodes hosted. I would like to verify that I can cancel without losing my work.

It is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. Upload your files and set it up once, then libsyn does the rest by distributing it to all the podcast networks including Spotify/Apple.

The UI is continuing to be updated and getting better like the modern apps. I don't doubt that libsyn will eventually get to a point where it is super streamlined.

Libsyn saves time and is very simple to use. The pricing structure is also fair and very beginner friendly. This makes it very easy to start a podcast and get onto all the major networks.

Libsyn is super straightforward - no extra or clunky bells and whistles. Customer support is on point as well.

Some of the billing tiers are confusing but otherwise no complaints.

I am able to organize all my podcast shows, feeds, etc in one place, saving time in the process.

The stats functionality for seeing podcast listens, location globally of listeners. Plus the simplicity of using this to upload and manage podcasts. We have used this for more than one podcast also, so are pleased with it.

Perhaps the only minor gripe is that the subscription is in US Dollars so the amount we are paying every month can fluctuate based on the currency exchange rates. But other than that I wouldn't say I have something to dislike about it.

Uploading a podcast, thumbnail and core text to one location, for the system to then push this out across all podcasting platforms is great functionality and value for us. I appreciate that some other platforms may have similar features, but we have had no reason to want to change system.
