Top Rated Libsyn Alternatives
It's simple and intuitive and easy to use, the pricing isn't bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not very nice to look at, the available tools are a little outdated (especially for the price-point), and the interactions I've had with customer support have been moderately unhelpful (and at times a little rude). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In the early days of podcasting, Libsyn was a great all-in-one solution for the podcasting individual. With hosting, analytics, and some light options for monetization, it was a killer solution a while back, with pricing that also worked well for solopreneurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ultimately, a lot of other options came out that did a better job of user experience design than Libsyn. They lost their edge on pricing as the price went up, but not a lot was added to the mix of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The landing site didn't always link properly and I would have liked more storage per tier, but it was a good deal overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's super easy to upload, edit, and schedule my client's podcast materials on Libsyn. I also love that it's able to provide us with the statistics that we need to measure the growth and success of the podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't provide us with the complete demographics of the audience that listens to my client's podcast. It would be helpful to know their gender, age, as well as the time they listen for us to gauge and systematize our growth efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very easyto host your podcast with Libsyn. The process is simple. It's also easy to distribute your podcast to various podcasting services. I've found customer service to be very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While it's excellent Libsyn updates its platform from time to time, it can take a little while to adjust to changes. This is a little picky, as I'm glad they're keeping the platform up to date. Usually, there are webinars to go over changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For a podcast with a very professional look, Libsyn is easy to use. The platform also makes it very easy to publish podcast episodes automatically to multiple platforms and integrates well with WordPress for embedding on a website. Libsyn provides easy-to-digest stats for podcast episodes and is very reliable overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No real complaints. Occasionally the artwork I load into my show files as thumbnails shows up rotated 90 degrees to the left. It's a weird quirk and hard to tell if the issue is with the original art or with Libsyn. I have to tweak the art file and re-upload it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Libsyn makes setting up and updating your show's RSS feed very easy. It connects to most major podcast networks, which is very convenient when launching a show for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Managing multiple shows with one account can be difficult and require multiple sign-ons. Also, it would be nice if the basic plan came with the ability to export analyitcs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The usability and functionality were what we were after when first launching our podcast. It was relatively easy to use and upload content and offers some good basic reporting to analyse reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI and UX of the service could be improved. I find it a little dated and devalues the overall experience. I would like to have more detailed reporting to help identity what aspects of content are working best for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
