What they are

Buzzsprout

Buzzsprout hosts podcast audio files and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and a dozen other directories from a single dashboard. It's used by solo podcasters and small teams who want reliable hosting without managing RSS feeds manually. The free plan stores only 90 days of episodes, which pushes serious creators toward a paid tier quickly. At $15 per month the entry paid plan covers most hobbyist needs.

Metricool

Metricool is a social media management platform that covers scheduling, analytics, and competitor tracking across major networks including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Freelancers, agencies, and small business owners use it to plan content and pull client reports without juggling multiple tools. The free plan is genuinely usable, though it caps brand connections and historical data depth.
