We love the analytics, which shows us how many people are listening to our podcast and from where as well as the automatic submission to all major podcast dirs.
Although we created a custom site that's hosted elsewhere, we wish our podcast listening site there was more configurable and themable to our brand.
They provide us a great interface to title and metadata our episodes, as well as host the podcasts themselves and associated cover art.
The Customer Support is best in class, they were so helpful when I wanted to launch a second podcast, they walked me through and even corrected a mistake I made, quickly and kindly.
None so far! I love the platform. I do wish they would finish the dynamic ad insertion, it keeps saying coming soon and I am impatient! Otherwise super satisfied.
Providing one place to host my 2 podcasts and linking to all platforms, providing a website for my podcast and analytics about my listeners. Its great for just starting out in podcasting.
I like how easy it was to start up an account and upload my first podcast.
Nothing so far. Everything has been great.
I had to upload podcast episodes for an assignment in school. I am a teacher and wanted to publish there work on like Spotify and rss help me a lot in that.
What I like best about RSS.com is the friendly user-interface that helps me upload my podcast easily and the kind customer service.
I don't think that I have seen any particular shortcomings of RSS.com. I believe it is an excellent service for hosting your podcast.
RSS.com is helping me share my podcast with the world without having to worry about the technical stuff. I just upload it and enjoy the process.
I initially did not sign up for RSS.com with my school email, making it difficult to verify my identity as a student so that I could use the student pricing. RSS.com customer service was very helpful in helping me figure out this issue so their service could be made more accessible for me!
N/a! The website is very intuitive to use and helps me achieve my goals as a podcaster.
RSS.com makes publishing my podcast on major websites easy and accessible for someone like me who is new to this space.
RSS.com is very user-friendly with fantastic customer service. We utilize this program for hosting audio files in a drive-thru event that works seamlessly!
There isn't anything that we have had issues with.
We needed a platform to host audio files that could be utilized within a mobile app. During an annual event, we link the RSS feed to our mobile app, and attendees listen to the audio through the RSS feed.
Their customer service is over the top great. I am supper grateful that they were so helpful when I moved over my podcast and even started a new one. I really love their service!@
nothing so far to be honest. Sure I could point out thing sI wish they had however, what they offer for now is enough. I really recommend them!
RSS is just easy to use and I like that.
The RSS platform allowed this first time podcaster to immediately be up and running with a good looking page and easy integrations to other platforms. The pricing is extremely competitive, bitcoin tipping is available and their customer service responded to my query within two minutes. Great platform.
My only request for improvement would be to allow cryptocurrency tipping to be forwarded to a podcasters existing wallet's but that is an extremely minor dislike. The fact the service is available at all is tremendous.
I needed a one stop shop for podcasting that was easily linked to other services and websites for a reasonable price. RSS solved this problem for a great price and their hosting has driven significant traffic to my website, h-industries.io
Using RSS.com has been very easy and user friendly, but my best experience has been with the customer support. I submitted a request regarding payment plans and received a prompt response that was exactly what I was looking for. In less than 24 hours, I had a solution to my issue and was ready to go. Very pleased with using RSS.com for my podcast platform and we'll continue using RSS in the future!
The only "downside" to using RSS.com would be the cost for the payment plans, but I think they're very competitive prices so I don't mind paying to support my company's podcast.
RSS.com provides an easy and affordable solution to hosting a podcast. We were looking for a good host site for a while and RSS has checked off all of our boxes. It's easy and doesn't require extensive time to upload episodes or view our analytics.
First of all, it's so easy to download podcasts, on the site, there are instructions, and it is beneficial. The team will give you feedback on your request so quickly, I so appreciate it!
Maybe it will better when I can see statistics in my account and other marketing features. Or can be that I still didn't discover it from myself actually)
I have a request concerning the change of my pricing plan. I left my messages for the support team, and in couple of hours, they managed evrything. I am so happy to be with RSS.com
The most helpful thing is the user interface with guidance for new users. I love the prompt response from the customer support team. Another thing I like is the pricing for the NGO/Education plan, being less than half that of RSS's competitors, and with more benefits -and services than their competitors.
There's basically nothing bad I can say about the service, other than on the mobile version of the site, some of the elements overlap each other, making it hard to read things or click buttons/links sometimes.
I've been looking for a cheap and helpful podcasting host since I left my old one, and this one has so many more benefits, including automatic distribution to some platforms, which is quite useful if you don't have the time going site-to-site manually filling out information.
That they are fast to reply back and are really good at answering the questions that I need. This is the first time I'm using this website for a podcast and everything is going smoothly!
There is nothing that I dislike about this company if anything it would be cool if they had a chat option for a live chat representative
They were able to get me the student discount that I needed! The staff was so sweet to me and was able to help fix my problem within the same hour I am very grateful for their help and I can’t wait to use this company for all its good potential!
The email response was very prompt and they solved the query I had completely without any issues. Friendly and informative responses were given.
No ability to contact via phone, which would have been helpful to first address that our problem could be solved.
Excellent platform for hosting podcast, friendly customer service, benefitting us and our clients as a business.
The customer service is excellent, and the usability and ease of the service is outstanding. It was so simple and effective on putting my podcast online, I really appreciated the support team too!
Nothing so far, only thing really is only being able to upload one episode of a podcast for free, but I understand that it is ultimately a business and the low price makes this worth it either way
Putting my podcast out there on different streaming platforms, it was difficult at first but going through RSS.com made it super easy and simple, and we've had more views in the last couple hours than anywhere else so far
It is a very easy platform. it allows you to upload instantly to several platforms. it is super user-friendly, and you don´t need a ton of technical knowledge to be able to understand all of the different insights. That is also one of the best parts of the platform: the insight it gives you on listeners, listener platforms, all the numbers of each of your episodes, and the ability to instantly see extremely important numbers and info, such as countries and followers. we love the add-ons that come with it, like searching for advertisement opportunities, and the new feature which allows you to receive bitcoins.
in all honestly, we love everything about the platform. the price is adequate and we wouldn't change anything about it.
we can understand the best times to post, also, which countries are listening to us. i would just put more attention towards growing markets such a Mexico and Latin America in general to attract more advertisements here, where the market is huge.
What I like most about using RSS is how user friendly it is, it is a super intuitive and easy to understand platform unlike other podcast hosting platforms, with 10 minutes you enter and explore the site, from the dashboard of our podcast to the download of invoices or receipts. Another thing that I find fascinating is that if our podcast meets certain minimum characteristics (chapter cover, minimum duration of 5 minutes, among others) we can share with many other platforms such as Spotify, Google podcast, Deezer, Samsung, Amazon Music, among other of the many platforms available. Also, one of the advantages of using RSS is that it has discounts for students, if we have our institutional email we get a very attractive discount, similarly, if you do not have any email univerisdad, full monthly plans are extremely cheap too, not to mention the ease of payment. I can't finish this review without mentioning that RSS.com is the first podcast hosting site to have a crypto payment! A unique and very innovative feature, considering that it is something that is being used more and more as time goes by.
I can't think of anything bad about RSS, everything seems great, I haven't had a problem since day 1 that I started using it, probably the fact of uploading only .mp3 files, but it's understandable because it's a site dedicated to only have audio files and no other type of format.
El darme soluciones rapidas para poder compartir mi podcast a diferentes personas, asi como poder compartir mi show con diferentes plataformas sin tener que subirlo yo manualmente una por una.
I am not very tech-savvy, but this platform is easy to use and offers many tools, articles and videos that help you navigate and start in the podcasting world
If you are new to podcasting maybe starting a subscription plan can be intimidating, but it is definitely worth it :)
The platform releases features frequently which always help improve my podcasting experience
I love that RSS.com is incredibly easy to use. I can create an account and start a podcast faster than I can order takeout from my favorite restaurant. Less than 5 minutes is all it takes! They have features other podcast hosts don't yet offer as well such as the chapters feature. I like that I can provide timestamps for my podcast that tell my listeners exactly what is happening in the episode during that time frame. I also love that they are constantly updating their software without increasing the fees. A lot of podcast hosts charge extra for additional features, but RSS.com includes all of them for the same low price. It's fast, reliable, user-friendly, and ever-evolving. They genuinely care about the podcasting community, and I love them for it!
I can't think of anything right now, but I know if I come up with anything, I can submit a feature request and they will add it to their list of considerations. But so far, I'm incredibly happy with everything the platform offers!
I didn't want to pay large fees to host a podcast, and that's why I like RSS.com - their fees are low and they don't charge me extra if I suddenly get a lot of downloads. They also made it so easy to get my podcast online. Very user-friendly experience!
The graphic design and that it is very reliable
More metrics would be amazing, but the ones they have are pretty great
With RSS i have no problems with programming episodes
When I started my blog, the first tool I use to boost my online presence was RSS. The platform is easy to use. I was using the free version and they helped me get some clues on backlinks.
Nothing so much for now. The free verson is limiited and you have to pay to get on top.....
I wanted to acquire more backlinks, and this tool was one of the chosen.
