Transistor review

Transistor is a strong pick when one person or company runs more than one show. Every plan, including the $19 per month Starter, hosts unlimited podcasts with unlimited episodes, and each show gets its own RSS feed, website and analytics page. Starter covers 20,000 audio downloads a month shared across shows and 50 private podcast subscribers, which suits internal company feeds. All plans include unlimited team members, live customer support, advanced analytics, a podcast network website and API plus MCP access for automating uploads. Video publishing, dynamic pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll ads and dynamic show notes start on Professional at $49 per month, which also caps storage at 500 GB. Audio files can be up to 2 GB each. Transistor does not cut off shows that exceed their download limit; it contacts owners who go over consistently. Yearly billing saves 17%. There is no free plan, so beginners pay from the first month after the 14-day trial.
