What it is
Audioboom is a paid web service for podcast hosting, distribution, monetization, and production. Creators upload and schedule episodes for publication on their podcast page, RSS feed, and distributed platforms, with submission tools for Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, iHeart, Spotify, and TuneIn. Uploads can reach 1 GB and 10 hours, using MP3, FLAC, AAC, WAV, OGG, or M4A; Audioboom re-encodes files to 48 kHz, constant 128 kbps MP3 and normalizes loudness.

Paid plans provide access to Showcase, its global advertising marketplace, while Pros adds options such as live reads and host endorsements. Private podcasts use a secret RSS URL or members-only embed, but MP3 files have no DRM. Archive costs $4.99 per month, Standard $12.99, and Plus $24.99; Pros pricing is by quote.
