What they are

Spotify for Creators

Spotify for Creators is a free analytics and management platform for podcasters distributing on Spotify. It surfaces listener data including age, location, and listening behavior, and lets creators submit their RSS feed or host directly through Spotify's own tools. It covers the basics well but gives no data on listeners outside the Spotify ecosystem, which limits its usefulness for shows distributed broadly.

SquadCast

SquadCast is a browser-based remote recording platform that captures separate, high-quality audio and video tracks from each participant locally, then uploads them progressively to the cloud. Podcasters and video creators use it to record remote interviews without the audio degradation of Zoom or phone calls. The progressive upload feature protects recordings from connection drops, which is a genuine differentiator, though storage limits on lower tiers can be a friction point for high-volume producers.
