What they are

Spreaker

Spreaker is a podcast hosting and live-streaming platform used by independent creators and radio broadcasters to publish, distribute, and earn from audio content. It combines real-time broadcasting with on-demand hosting and connects episodes to major directories like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The integrated ad marketplace is a genuine draw for monetization, though the free tier is fairly limited in storage and upload hours.

Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
