PodServe.fm review
Unlimited public podcast hosting, with private feeds available on paid plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PodServe.fm is a cloud-hosted platform for publishing and distributing podcasts, aimed at solo creators, teams, and organizations. Standard paid plans allow unlimited podcasts, episodes, uploads, and team members, with RSS feed generation, public podcast websites, and embeddable players. Shows can be distributed to major podcast apps, while analytics cover listener time, geography, and apps. Private, password-protected feeds and transcript tools extend its use to both public shows and restricted audio content.
Pricing separates standard hosting from private-feed options. PodServe Monthly costs $19 per month; PodServe Yearly costs $190 per year, and both list the same unlimited hosting, team access, distribution, and detailed analytics. There is no free plan, though a 14-day trial is available without a card requirement. The Private Podcast 1 Feed plan includes one private feed and 500 private listeners; Private Podcast 5 Feeds includes five feeds and 1,000 private listeners per podcast. Both private plans retain unlimited public podcasts and episodes, password protection, and download analytics. Choose a standard plan for unlimited public publishing; consider a private-feed plan when access control is central.
Its feature set reaches beyond hosting: creators can upload transcripts or generate them automatically, use the API for episode publishing and analytics, and access promotional placement and analytics through PodParadise. Listed integrations include Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and PodParadise. Email, chat, and documentation are support channels, and the service offers assistance with distribution and setup. PodServe.fm is a fit for audio publishers who value unlimited standard hosting or password-protected private feeds. Teams needing video support or a wider set of verified integrations should look elsewhere.
