Where each one falls short

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
