What they are

Captivate

Captivate is a podcast hosting platform aimed at independent podcasters and small networks who want distribution, analytics, and monetization tools in one place. It handles unlimited podcasts and team members on every plan, which is unusual at this price point. The analytics go deeper than most entry-level hosts, but the platform has no free tier, so beginners testing the waters will need to commit from day one.

ConvertKit

Newsletter platform with landing pages, automated email sequences, paid newsletters, and a creator marketplace. Strong choice for selling digital products to a subscriber base. Now rebranded as Kit.
