The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Podomatic free plan caps storage at 500MB and bandwidth at 15GB per month, which Podomatic equates to roughly 300 listens; Revue revue (the newsletter tool, at getrevue.co, not the unrelated revue.com photography magazine) was acquired by Twitter and shut down in January 2023; the Internet Archive's capture of getrevue.co on 3 January 2021 shows it was an editorial newsletter platform used by Vox Media, FastCompany and VentureBeat with subscription, sponsorship and ad-based monetization tools, sold via demo request.
  • They diverge on capability: Podomatic covers Podcast hosting, Revue covers Newsletter creation.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Revue

  • Revue (the newsletter tool, at getrevue.co, not the unrelated revue.com photography magazine) was acquired by Twitter and shut down in January 2023; the Internet Archive's capture of getrevue.co on 3 January 2021 shows it was an editorial newsletter platform used by Vox Media, FastCompany and VentureBeat with subscription, sponsorship and ad-based monetization tools, sold via demo request.
