What it is
Blubrry provides podcast hosting and related services for publishing, distributing, analyzing, and monetizing audio or video shows. Hosting plans allocate monthly publishing hours rather than storage by file size, and support distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other services. Standard 1.5 costs $7 a month and includes up to 1.5 hours monthly, standard statistics, a managed WordPress site, and AI podcast tools. Other plans range from Standard 3 at $15 a month to Pro Unlimited at $100 a month; Pro Unlimited includes unlimited publishing, bandwidth usage fees, multiple shows and users, dynamic advertising, FTP, and PowerPress multi-program mode. PowerPress is a free WordPress podcasting plugin for publishing, RSS feeds, SEO, players, and directory integration, and can be used without Blubrry hosting on supported WordPress sites. Vid2Pod converts YouTube videos or playlists into audio podcast episodes for RSS distribution. Analytics vary by plan and may include plays or downloads, audience locations, listening apps and devices, trends, retention, and partial plays. Separate free statistics are available without Blubrry hosting.
