Prices, with the date
What we
checked.
As of October 2026, Buzzsprout’s pricing page says the free plan includes 2 upload hours a month and hosts each episode for 90 days. It also lists an Archive plan at $5 a month that keeps a show online without new uploads. Transcripts are included on current paid plans. Cohost AI and Magic Mastering are optional paid add-ons.
Buzzsprout’s annual-billing help lists the entry Audio plan at $180 a year, with 72 upload hours for one podcast, and lists Cohost AI and Magic Mastering at $60 each per year on that plan. The additional-hours help lists the monthly price of that plan at $18, with extra hours at $4. PodcastHostLab read the live Audio card on 24 September 2026 as $18 a month, or $15 a month billed annually, with 6 upload hours a month.
Larger plans add shows or video, and upload hours on multi-podcast plans are shared. Buzzsprout’s annual help lists $360 a year for up to 5 audio podcasts (180 hours) and $780 a year for up to 10 (420 hours). The additional-hours help lists extra time at $4, $3, or $2 an hour depending on the monthly plan. A few older help pages still show earlier prices. The pricing page is the list to re-check before you switch.
What Buzzsprout does well
Buzzsprout’s pricing page lists directory distribution, a podcast website, embed players, advanced stats, dynamic content, listener support, and unlimited team members. Publishing is the thing people recommend it for, and a single short show can fit the entry allowance.
The useful comparison is what happens as the catalog grows. Another show, a longer month, or Cohost AI and Magic Mastering changes the Buzzsprout bill. Podhome keeps shows, episodes, downloads, teammates, and Podhome AI on the same subscription.

Questions, answered
Straight
answers.
Is Podhome cheaper than Buzzsprout?
It depends on the show. As of October 2026, Buzzsprout’s entry paid Audio plan is $18 a month or $180 a year for one podcast and a fixed upload allowance. Podhome is $15.99 a month or $185 a year for unlimited shows, episodes, downloads, teammates, and Podhome AI. Buzzsprout also has a free plan, with 2 upload hours a month and episodes hosted for 90 days. Podhome has no free tier. The 30-day trial is a trial of the paid plan.
Does Buzzsprout charge more for extra shows or hours?
Yes. The entry Audio plan is one podcast. Multi-podcast plans cover up to 5 or 10 shows, and those upload hours are shared. Hours past the allowance are billed, from $4 an hour on the $18 plan. Podhome does not meter shows, episodes, or downloads.
Is Buzzsprout’s AI included?
Transcripts are included on current paid plans. Cohost AI, for titles, descriptions, chapters, and posts, and Magic Mastering are paid add-ons. On the $180 annual Audio plan, Buzzsprout lists each add-on at $60 a year. Podhome AI is included and unlimited. You review drafts before they go live. Optional Audio Enhancement is $0.03 per minute after the trial. That is usage, not a second plan.
Can I leave Buzzsprout without losing episodes?
Yes. After you sign up, import copies the show from the RSS feed and keeps existing GUIDs when they are present. Podhome does not delete anything at Buzzsprout. Listeners stay on the Buzzsprout feed until you set the redirect. A locked feed has to be unlocked first.
