Blubrry vs Hello Audio

Blubrry provides podcast hosting and related services for publishing, distributing, analyzing, and monetizing audio or video podcasts. Hosting plans are measured by monthly publishing hours rather than file size, and can distribute shows to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other directories. The Standard 1.5 plan is $7 a month and includes up to 1.5 hours per month, standard statistics, and a managed WordPress site. Other hosting options include Standard 3 at $15 a month, Advanced plans from $25 a month, and Pro Unlimited at $100 a month; Pro Unlimited includes unlimited publishing, bandwidth usage fees, multiple shows or users, dynamic advertising, FTP, and PowerPress multi-program mode. PowerPress is a free WordPress podcasting plugin with publishing, RSS, SEO, player, and directory tools, and can be used without Blubrry hosting on supported WordPress sites. Vid2Pod converts YouTube videos or playlists into audio podcast episodes for RSS distribution. Statistics vary by plan; separate free statistics are available without Blubrry hosting.

Hello Audio is a paid podcast hosting service for public and private podcasts. It runs on the web, iOS, and Android, with RSS feeds, video podcast support, monetization tools, and advanced analytics. Directory distribution uses manual submission. The Starter plan costs $14 a month, billed annually, and provides one private feed, one public feed, unlimited episodes, and unlimited listeners. Pro costs $39 a month, billed annually, with three private feeds and one public feed. Powerhouse costs $81 a month, billed annually, with unlimited private feeds, two public feeds, and unlimited transcripts. Hello Audio offers a 7-day trial but no free plan. The maker is based in San Diego, California, United States. Plan differences center on feed counts and, for Powerhouse, unlimited transcripts.
