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.
Trint
Trint uses AI to transcribe audio and video files, then lets you edit the transcript as if it were a text document, with the media staying in sync. Journalists, podcasters, and video producers use it to speed up post-production and content repurposing. The transcript editor is genuinely well-designed, though the per-seat subscription cost makes it a harder sell for solo creators on a tight budget.
