Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I liked the ease of switching over to them from Buzzsprout. I like that I have dynamic show notes and ad insertion, episode scheduling, and detailed analytics. I was given 2 free months to trial the site before going all in. I like being able to put my transcript, YouTube, artwork, and ad links all in one go. They have regular training sessions and good customer service. They used to have a decent podcast, but that seems to have disappeared.

Cons

  • It's not the most intuitive of platforms, and I'm pretty sure there's stuff I could do with it that I just don't know how to. When I moved accounts, I did not realise I would lose my previous analytics, but that was years ago, and I believe no longer the case. If you're not a very techy podcaster, you may feel challenged with it.
