    Buzzsprout: when it makes sense.

    Buzzsprout makes sense to launch and publish a podcast simply; for advanced ad monetisation, a revenue-focused platform fits better.

    Keep if

    You're starting a podcast and want to publish without tech.. You want simple distribution to directories.

    Buzzsprout becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€10) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You want durable hosting for free (the free tier deletes episodes).. You need advanced ad monetisation.

    Buzzsprout becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • anchor-spotify (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use

    Our verdict on Buzzsprout.

    Why this verdict

    Decent

    Buzzsprout is fairly easy to replace with an alternative, a free tier to test before paying, clearly documented use cases.
