"Incredibly fast support with a thoughful solution."

5/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

I replied to an automated email and a human (Megan) responded almost instantly ready to help. Megan suggested a creative workaround to solve a problem I was having with an account migration and kept in touch until it worked. This was such a streamlined and logical support experience.

"The best way to centralize your podcast!"

5/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

The fact that Buzzsprout allows you to push your podcast to many platforms like Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, iHeart Radio and much more is a huge time saver. Plus, you get to control your channel cover, episode artwork, and even organize your podcasts by season. We also love the embeddable podcast player which lets you embed a great-looking widget directly in your blog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buzzsprout?

There isn't much to dislike with Buzzsprout. It checks all the boxes a podcast producer needs. The only thing I can think of is that it would be nice to be able to see podcast episodes grouped by topic with a filtering system. Our podcast talks about many different aspects of marketing and we would like to be able to see how many episodes we have for each category, without leaving the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buzzsprout solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a good-looking podcast player to embed each episode on its own blog post page hosted on WordPress and after doing quite a lot of research, we decided to go with Buzzsprout because of its ease of use. The best part was that this allowed us to push our content on every podcast streaming app our audience may use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best podcast hosting service around"

4/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

Competitive pricing, easy to use, gets the job done, good analytics. Does everything a podcaster needs: hosts, promotes, and helps you track the data. Always adding new features and developing the product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buzzsprout?

The pricing structure is quite complex. The podcast minutes not used in a month are not carried over to the next month - in the podcast world every month differs and it would be useful to keep the minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buzzsprout makes podcasting simple and afforable!"

4/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

Buzzsprout is incredibly affordable and simple to use for anyone getting started with a new podcast. For only $12 per month, podcasters can upload up to 4 hours of recorded episodes. A simple website is provided, and shows get distributed to all popular podcast listening apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buzzsprout?

Buzzsprout promotes their "free website" as a valuable benefit, but this is really much more of a simple page that displays the podcast episodes. The "website" is very limited in terms of customization. This is no big deal for us whatsoever, since we prefer to host our own website allowing for complete control and customization. And, Buzzsprout has a WordPress plugin that makes it simple to embed episodes on our own posts and pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Buzzsprout solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were fed up with the higher price and poor functionality of our previous podcast host. Buzzsprout solved our problem by making the migration of our show to the new platform quick and straightforward. Now it is much easier to embed and share our episodes with no advertising from the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Podcast Host for all types of formats"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

It is incredibly easy to get your podcast listed in iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and basically every major podcast platform. The sound quality is terrific, customer service is quick and extremely helpful, and I like that features continue to be added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buzzsprout?

The only thing about the service I don't necessarily fully understand is the calculations used to determine what a "listener" is, which is different than a subscriber. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Huge Buzzsprout fan even after 2 years!"

5/5

What do you like best about Buzzsprout?

I've been with Buzzsproun for almost 2 years, and they have exceeded my expectations from the word go. It was easy to get started. They provide a ton of valuable resources on podcasting from their own blogs, their podcast about podcasting "Buzzcast" and even YouTube videos. Then add to that their incredible service. On the very rate instances I've had to contact support, they respond immediately and are incredibly helpful. I absolutely made the right decision in choosing Buzzsprout to host my podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buzzsprout?

In 2 years, I honestly have not run into any issues I don't like. I believe every problem I have ever encountered was something I have done wrong vs anything having to do with Buzzsprout ; yet they still supported my issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
