Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Blubrry

  • Entry plan at $7 per month allows only 1.5 hours of new audio published per month
  • Advanced podcast statistics require the $25 per month Advanced 6 plan; cheaper plans get standard statistics only
  • Monetization features are restricted to the Advanced plans
  • Dynamic ad insertion, programmatic advertising, unlimited shows and sub-accounts sit on a Professional tier with no published price
  • Publishing allowance is measured in hours of audio per month, so a long-form show hits the cap quickly

Camtasia

  • All individual plans bill annually only, from $39/year Starter up to $599/year Pro; there is no monthly billing option for individuals
  • A license is tied to the purchasing email address and cannot be reassigned or transferred between users; sharing requires the separate Teams or Business plan
  • Refunds are limited to a 14 day money-back window after purchase
