Libsyn Review (2024): Pricing, Pros & Cons

The stats functionality for seeing podcast listens, location globally of listeners. Plus the simplicity of using this to upload and manage podcasts. We have used this for more than one podcast also, so are pleased with it. Perhaps the only minor gripe is that the subscription is in US Dollars so the amount we are paying every month can fluctuate based on the currency exchange rates. But other than that I wouldn’t say I have something to dislike about it. Uploading a podcast, thumbnail and core text to one location, for the system to then push this out across all podcasting platforms is great functionality and value for us. I appreciate that some other platforms may have similar features, but we have had no reason to want to change system.

The ease of use, by far, is what I enjoyed the most. You’re never left wondering how to use it so you can make the best of hosting your podcast and create the impact you want. Libsyn is for serious Podcasters in my mind. As much as the Libsyn platform has all the bells and whistles that a Podcaster would need if you are working on a passion project and low on funds, I would say the fee might be a bit steep.

It’s simple and intuitive and easy to use, the pricing isn’t bad. It’s not very nice to look at, the available tools are a little outdated (especially for the price-point), and the interactions I’ve had with customer support have been moderately unhelpful (and at times a little rude). Hosting several podcasts and making them available across multiple platforms.

It is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. Upload your files and set it up once, then libsyn does the rest by distributing it to all the podcast networks including Spotify/Apple. The UI is continuing to be updated and getting better like the modern apps. I don’t doubt that libsyn will eventually get to a point where it is super streamlined. Libsyn saves time and is very simple to use. The pricing structure is also fair and very beginner friendly. This makes it very easy to start a podcast and get onto all the major networks.

Libsyn was very user-friendly for new podcasters who aren’t super tech savvy. It also included helpful analytics every month even on the lowest/cheapest tier as well as a decent amount of audio storage. The landing site didn’t always link properly and I would have liked more storage per tier, but it was a good deal overall. Hosting podcast audio with relative ease and low cost. We haven’t recorded an episode in over a year, but I maintain my membership to continue to keep the old episodes hosted. I would like to verify that I can cancel without losing my work.
