It's hands-down the absolute best free option available, since it's free and also unlimited anything, without any restrictions, unlike other free options. If you want to go with paid options, you certainly can. But, really, the only thing you stand to gain is additional customer support and additional things for maybe dynamic ad insertion and sponsor/ad partner matching and stuff like that. But if you know how to monetize on your own without needing a platform to handhold you, then there's really not much to gain at all, just better paid people on the other end of a customer service call who treat you nicer.

February 18, 2025Any reason to not use Spotify for Creators to host your podcast?
Time is really important to me (i waste so much on podcasting lol) so I like BuzzSprout because it’s a lot easier to use. I like their sound bite feature, easy to include a transcript and easy to create chapters. I’m considering Spotify to save money but I’ll sort that out when I get some time. More on reddit.com

Is this the best distribution platform? What other platforms are y’all using? I am irritated already because I am unable to edit just the basic description of the show. Seems like a very basic thing lol I can change the name, the image etc.. but that description is NOT budging. So I’m annoyed and wondering what else there is that’s actually decent, but also, is this something anyone else has run into? I’m not tech illiterate either, it’s just so odd.

Hey, every other platform has limitations on the free plan. As of now, Spotify holds the major share, but it doesn’t distribute to other platforms, which limits your reach. And in any creator economy, if you want to make money, Reach = Money. I used Hubhopper, which has the widest distribution of all. They offer unlimited podcast creation but have limitations on episodes in the free plan. They also support both audio and video. I don’t know, maybe that helps?

Hey all, I took a hiatus from podcasting during pandemic as it was all hands on deck for health care professionals. But I am bringing back one of my cancer podcasts.
I am looking around at the hosting world now (last podcast was on Libsyn for 5 years after picking it over Buzzsprout and podbean for features i liked and wanted at the time) and I see Spotify purchased Anchor FM
Spotify for Creators is free. so no monthly cost. it also lets you participate in a few Spotify programs that are limited to people who use it, unlike if you use Transister or Libsyn and then add your podcast to Spotify.
I did some googling, but spotify is so good at SEO almost all the hits come from them or posts on blogs clearly sponsored by them.
so whats the catch? what are the downsides? is there something in the Terms of Service I missed? is there people who have used it but had bad experiences?
I know some other services offer landing pages, but I dont need that. I can code and enjoy maintaining my own site anyway with full control and multi-page events etc. I did enjoy the ability to customize the player with libsyn for embeding on my site, but now there are so many javascript based players that can take any feed I dont think I am worried about that. but please do let me know about other missing features for why you wouldnt recomend spotify for creators.... else I think I am going to relaunch on there.

Watch whose money you pick up. There's a reason that nearly every podcast that went exclusive when Spotify first made their big push for podcasts, has since abandoned ship. I'd read up on some of those. Basically if they don't have a direct financial interest in you, which is to say one of their major shareholders is also one of yours, they will intentionally bury you under the podcasts they own. There's currently a lawsuit going on about this very thing, only with a focus on musicians. You could argue that would also be the case if you used a different service, and that would be correct, but beyond the principle of the thing it's more just a red flag indicative of their overall approach. There was also a kerfuffle iirc last year where it came out that they just weren't paying comedians because they arbitrarily decided the royalty schedule was such that they could get away with it. Writ simple; they're shady, and frankly supporting them contributes to the devaluation of every medium they choose to participate in.

I'll make this as succinct as possible. I'm looking for some help. I have created a Spotify for Creators account and it's asking me to Publish an episode. The problem is that I already have published all episodes via acast. Is there a way to link the podcast to my Creators account?
There's already a fully-fledged podcast on Spotify, but I guess I don't 'own' it?

Hey there! This is an easy fix. Just claim your podcast on Spotify with the login you created. Log in to creators.spotify.com . Hit your avatar/the 3 lines in the top-right corner, then Add a new show. On mobile, you need to tap the arrow at the bottom of the screen to see this option. Select Find an existing show then Somewhere else. Enter your podcast’s RSS feed. They'll shoot you an email with a verification code and you should be all set! -- Disclosure: I'm the Podcast Producer at r/Buzzsprout
