RSS.com review

RSS.com is the most generous free option among dedicated hosts on this list. The Free plan publishes one podcast with unlimited episodes, storage and downloads, includes a podcast website and listener donations, and never expires, though you must add a credit card before uploading a second episode. Plus costs $15 per month billed annually, or $19.99 monthly, and adds programmatic ads that can pay with as few as 10 downloads, paid subscriptions on Apple Podcasts, YouTube videos made from audio episodes, AI-generated transcripts and advanced analytics. Pro at $26 per month manages up to 10 podcasts with unlimited team members. Video arrives only on Max at $37 per month, where one upload goes to Apple Podcasts and YouTube and creators keep 70% of eligible video ad revenue. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee, and podcasts moving from another host get three months free. Analytics on the free plan are standard rather than advanced.
