Where each one falls short

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

Castmagic

  • Free plan limited to 3 files per month
  • Pricing based on audio hours consumed
  • Not a full podcast hosting solution

Podomatic

  • Free plan caps storage at 500MB and bandwidth at 15GB per month, which Podomatic equates to roughly 300 listens
  • Pro Plus at $9.99 per month caps storage at 3GB and bandwidth at 200GB per month
  • Pro Platinum at $24.99 per month still caps bandwidth at 500GB per month
  • Unlimited storage and bandwidth require the $49.99 per month Broadcaster plan
  • Billing is metered on listener bandwidth, so a popular episode consumes the monthly allowance regardless of how few files are stored
