What they are
Podbean
Podbean is a podcast hosting platform that handles storage, distribution to major directories, and listener monetization from a single dashboard. Independent podcasters and small media teams use it to publish episodes, grow an audience, and earn revenue through ads, patron subscriptions, or premium content. The platform covers the full workflow well, though its analytics are less detailed than dedicated analytics tools and the free tier was removed, making it a paid commitment from day one.
RSS.com
RSS.com is a podcast hosting platform that stores audio files, generates an RSS feed, and distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories. Independent podcasters and small teams use it to get shows live without technical setup. The platform includes basic analytics and a simple website builder, though advanced analytics and monetization tools are thin compared to some competitors.
