Have you outgrown Buzzsprout and are ready to move to a podcast hosting platform where you have more control of your show?
Here are just a few reasons podcasters choose RSS.com over Buzzsprout’s free and paid plans:
- They don’t want to have episodes deleted after 90 days
- They need more than the monthly 2 hour time limit.
- Their show is popular and they need more than the 250 MB monthly bandwidth limit placed on all paid plans.
RSS.com Is the Best Alternative to Buzzsprout for Podcast Hosting
Many new podcasters initially choose Buzzsprout because they offer a free plan.
However, those that get serious about podcasting find that the monthly audio time limit of two hours isn’t enough. Also, episodes only get hosted for 90 days with Buzzsprout’s free plan.
No one wants to have episodes they put time and effort into deleted! 😩
We think you’ll find that you get more value for your money with the RSS Podcaster option. The three paid plans on Buzzsprout range from $12-$24 per month, with no opportunity for discounted annual billing.
Buzzsprout also limits your available audio hours and makes you pay extra for additional time. With RSS.com, both the quantity and duration of your podcast episodes are unlimited.
💡 RSS.com also provides more bandwidth each month, meaning that more people can download and listen to your podcast. Buzzsprout places a 250 MB monthly bandwidth limit on all plans, which is the equivalent of approximately 20,000 downloads. In contrast, RSS.com provides unlimited bandwidth allowing you to focus on the needs of your audience and show.
We think you’ll find that after reviewing our side-by-side comparison table below, we’re still the better option for most podcasters.

“Starting anything these days is nerve wrecking. So when I made up my mind to start a podcast for my PR company, I knew I had to do the research. When I found RSS.com, I was surprised at how easy it was to set up my podcast. We were up and running the same day!”
