23 Best Podcast Hosting Platforms in 2022 (Free and Cheap)A Collection and Review of the Top Platforms to Host Your Podcast

Unfortunately, Captivate doesn’t offer a free plan. However, you can sign up for a 7-day trial to take it for a spin, if you want to try out their impressive features. Paid, yet still relatively cheap podcast hosting plans with Captivate start at $19.00/month, so it’s not the cheapest option on the market today.

Ghost Stories
The full list of episodes is on the Luminary podcast site. It's a podcast subscription site, so you do have to pay for it. You can start with a free trial, and I've kept my subscription since I got it for like $3 a month a while back. Source: about 3 years ago

podcast host that aren't Spotify
I only recently started a podcast but I did considerable research on hosting. Even though I am in the U.S., I found that the service with the best combination of features is captivate.fm out of the U.K. So far I have been quite pleased. They are geared toward growing your podcast but have been very helpful even with the initial launch. Source: about 1 year ago
Best Distribution Service
I've been vocal about issues I've had with the platform over the past few months, but Captivate has gone over and above improving their service and feature set over the past few weeks and have blown me away with honestly fulfilling nearly every feature request I've made since I first started the service.

Adjusting Loudness for podcast - RX9/Reaper
I actually had this question - when uploading to a host (say, captivate.fm), what format should you use? Source: over 1 year ago
Tips on releasing my narrative podcast?
Amazing work getting your whole first season completed and edited! I'm pretty new to audio drama so others probably have better advice, but I've used two platforms before - I moved from podbean to captivate.fm because podbean had a really frustrating interface. I've found captivate to be really easy to use, great analytics figures, helpful tools to get started with advertising and they submit to all the usual apps... Source: about 2 years ago
