Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RSS.com is a web-based podcast hosting platform for independent creators, organizations, and podcast networks. It provides public RSS feeds, podcast websites, embeddable players, episode scheduling and publishing, analytics, transcripts, directory distribution, listener support tools, and monetization features. Its free plan is suited to creators who need unlimited episodes and audio, a public RSS feed, automatic distribution to major directories, and a basic publishing presence without a monthly charge.
The plan structure expands from basic hosting into analytics, monetization, and production support. Free includes analytics, donations, and Value for Value. Plus costs $15 per month with annual billing and adds programmatic ad insertion, Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, AI-generated transcripts, and advanced analytics for one podcast. Pro costs $26 per month with annual billing and supports up to 10 podcasts, unlimited team member seats, all-time analytics, automatic AI-generated transcripts, and unbranded YouTube videos. Max costs $37 per month with annual billing and adds unlimited audio and video podcasts, video advertising revenue share, automatic YouTube publishing, and API access.
RSS.com also fits creators who want distribution across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and YouTube, with web and API access. Its feature set covers audio hosting, cross-platform analytics, dynamic advertising, listener monetization, audio-to-video conversion, video podcast hosting, and transcripts. Choose it if free hosting, directory distribution, and a path toward video or monetization matter. Creators needing only a simple paid audio host may not need the additional tiers, while multi-show teams should compare the podcast limits between Plus, Pro, and Max.
