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.
Teachable
Teachable is a hosted course platform where creators build, market, and sell online courses, coaching programs, and digital downloads. It handles payment processing, student management, and course delivery in one place, making it a practical choice for solo educators and small teams. The tradeoff is that transaction fees apply on lower-tier plans, which quietly erodes revenue until you upgrade.
