Spreaker review
A broad podcast platform for creators who need distribution, ads, and memberships.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Spreaker is a podcast hosting platform for independent creators, publishers, and podcast networks. It supports episode hosting and publishing, automatic RSS feed generation, distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and other listening platforms, plus an embedded website player. Its audience includes broadcasters that want to combine advertising with listener subscriptions, as well as teams managing multiple shows or private podcast feeds.
The plan structure covers a wide range of publishing needs. Free Speech costs $0 per month and includes unlimited episodes, one podcast, customizable RSS feeds, automatic distribution to iHeartRadio, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, six months of statistics, and advertising monetization. Broadcaster costs $20 per month and adds unlimited podcasts, enhanced private podcasts, advanced statistics, and advertising and subscription monetization. Anchorman costs $50 per month and adds full statistics, collaboration features, and customizable player colors. Publisher costs $250 per month and adds Campaign Manager, direct ad sales, and ad management. All listed prices are monthly USD prices.
Spreaker’s strongest fit is monetization-led podcast publishing. Programmatic advertising, Supporters Club listener subscriptions, IAB-certified analytics, private or limited-access podcasts, and distribution integrations with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Facebook, and WordPress give it a broad operating scope. Mobile apps for iOS and Android complement its web platform. The higher tiers are more relevant to publishers and networks that need collaboration or campaign management, while a single-show creator may find the Free Speech plan sufficient for basic publishing and advertising. Choose Spreaker for a combination of distribution, analytics, advertising, and memberships; consider another platform if your priority is keeping multiple podcasts on the free plan or accessing advanced team tools without moving to a paid tier.
