VNYL review
A focused hosting platform for teams that value unlimited publishing over monetization.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
VNYL is a web-based podcast hosting platform for creators and small podcast teams. It combines podcast storage and delivery with automatic RSS 2.0 feed generation, directory submission, analytics, scheduled publishing, team collaboration, and podcast landing pages. Its published offering is aimed at teams that want a straightforward home for up to two podcasts, with unlimited storage, downloads, and episodes supporting ongoing publishing without a usage-based limit.
Pricing is structured around a Free Beta, Founder Pricing, and Regular Pricing. The Free Beta is listed at $0 per month and includes analytics, publish scheduling, team collaboration, a podcast website, and priority support. Founder Pricing is $90 per year with the same listed feature set and priority support. Regular Pricing is $130 per year and includes standard support. The paid entry price is relatively clear, but the beta framing and waitlist make availability part of the onboarding picture. Teams choosing VNYL should also account for the difference between priority support on the beta and founder plans and standard support on Regular Pricing.
VNYL’s strongest fit is its focused publishing workflow. It generates RSS feeds with iTunes and Spotify tags, supports RSS validation and migration, and submits shows to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn. IAB-compliant analytics can be viewed by episode, country, app, and device, while roles and permissions help distribute publishing work across a team. Custom-domain landing pages add a branded web presence. VNYL is a sensible choice for teams prioritizing hosting, distribution, scheduling, and analytics; teams that need monetization capabilities should choose a platform with those tools included.
