Our take
The free tier at RSS.com is real and meaningfully more generous than Buzzsprout's - no upload caps, no expiring episodes. That matters for podcasters who publish infrequently or are just getting started. The paid tiers are also reasonably priced at under $12/mo. The trade-off is depth: analytics on the free plan are limited to a 30-day window, some features like dynamic ad insertion require upgrading, and the platform does not have the editorial depth or community resources that Buzzsprout or Transistor have built over years. Good starting point; not necessarily a long-term home for a serious show.
Pros
- Most generous free tier in hosting - truly unlimited episodes and storage
- Paid plans are among the most affordable in the category
- Strong 4.95-star rating across 3,100+ reviews
Cons
- Free tier limits analytics to a 30-day window
- Less community, documentation, and ecosystem depth than older competitors
- Dynamic ad insertion and advanced features locked behind paid tiers
