Podigee

Podigee is a podcast hosting and publishing platform from a maker based in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2013. It supports RSS feeds and distribution to major directories, along with basic analytics and monetization tools. The platform also supports private podcasts and video podcasts, and is available on the web, iOS, and Android. The LAUNCH plan is billed free forever and covers one podcast, 60 minutes of audio for the lifetime of the plan, two video episodes totaling 15 minutes for the lifetime of the plan, seven days of analytics, and one seat. STARTER costs €19 a month, excluding tax where applicable, and includes one podcast, four video episodes and 30 video minutes per month, 90 days of analytics, and one seat. SCALE costs €39 a month, excluding tax where applicable, and allows three podcasts, 12 video episodes and 180 video minutes per month, 365 days of analytics, and three seats. CREATOR costs €59 a month, excluding tax where applicable, with five podcasts, 20 video episodes, 300 video minutes per month, and five seats. These plans differ in podcast capacity, video allowances, analytics history, and seats.

Podigee covers podcast publishing, distribution, analytics, monetization, private podcasts, and video. Its plans set distinct podcast, video, analytics, and seat limits, with paid options starting at €19 a month.

Podigee suits podcasters looking for hosting and publishing with RSS feeds, directory distribution, monetization, or private and video podcast support. The plan limits may help users choose based on podcast count, video volume, analytics history, and seat needs.

Overview

Podigee is a podcast publishing platform for creators who want audio and video, private shows, and monetization tools alongside distribution. It is best suited to producers whose show count, video output, or analytics needs justify a paid tier; its free plan is too tightly capped for an ongoing catalogue.

Key features

An RSS feed and distribution to major directories give Podigee the core route from hosting to listening apps. Monetization tools and private podcasts make it more useful than a public-feed-only host, while video support broadens the formats it can handle. Analytics are basic overall, and the history available depends on the plan: seven days on LAUNCH, 90 on STARTER, and 365 on SCALE. That makes LAUNCH a poor choice for tracking longer-term trends; SCALE is the strongest fit for reviewing performance over time. CREATOR has no stated analytics period.

Pricing

LAUNCH costs nothing, billed free forever. It includes one podcast, one seat, seven days of analytics, 60 minutes of audio over the plan’s lifetime, and either two video episodes or 15 video minutes over the lifetime. The permanent media limits make it suitable for a small, finite project, not a continuing show.

STARTER costs €19 a month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It allows one podcast and one seat, with four video episodes and 30 video minutes per month and 90 days of analytics. This is the entry paid tier for a solo creator with modest video needs; the single-show and single-seat caps leave little room for a team or additional podcasts.

SCALE costs €39 a month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It raises the allowance to three podcasts, three seats, 12 video episodes and 180 video minutes per month, and 365 days of analytics. For a small team managing several shows, the additional seats, show capacity, and longer analytics window make the step up from STARTER meaningful.

CREATOR costs €59 a month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It supports five podcasts, five seats, 20 video episodes, and 300 video minutes per month. That is the largest stated show, seat, and video allowance, but no analytics period is stated for this tier. Choose it for the higher recurring publishing capacity, not on an assumption of longer analytics history.

Platforms

Podigee is available on the web, iOS, and Android, giving creators both browser and mobile access.

Who it's for

Podigee makes the most sense for solo creators or small teams that need public distribution plus private podcasts or monetization, and for publishers with a recurring video budget that fits a paid plan’s monthly allowances. LAUNCH can accommodate a tiny project, but its lifetime audio and video ceilings are a serious constraint. Producers who need more than five shows, five seats, or 300 video minutes per month will outgrow the stated CREATOR limits.

Pros and cons

• Pros: RSS and major-directory distribution cover the essential publishing path.
• Pros: Private podcasts, monetization tools, and video support bring several publishing needs into one service.
• Pros: SCALE provides 365 days of analytics, three podcasts, and three seats for teams that need more than a single-show setup.
• Cons: LAUNCH’s audio and video allowances are lifetime caps, so it is not a practical ongoing free host.
• Cons: STARTER is limited to one podcast and one seat, while every paid tier sets monthly video episode and minute ceilings.
• Cons: Analytics are basic, and CREATOR has no stated analytics-history period.

Alternatives

For another hosting option, Acast has a free plan and a Starter tier for one show and five episodes; its Essential plan is $14.99 a month billed yearly for multiple shows, unlimited episodes, ads, and sponsorships. That is a better fit if those Essential allowances and annual billing suit your needs.

Podbean is another free-plan option: its Basic Free Plan includes five hours of storage, 100GB monthly bandwidth, up to three episodes a day, a 100MB single-file limit, and 20 episodes in the RSS feed. Pick it if those published free-tier limits fit your show.

Zencastr offers a free Vibecastr tier with six participants, unlimited recording and downloads, video up to 4K, unlimited track storage, and five podcast shows. It is the more relevant option when those recording and track-storage allowances are the priority.

Buzzsprout has a free plan with a two-hour upload allowance and 90-day episode hosting; its Audio plan is $18 a month, billed monthly, for six hours per month and one podcast. Consider it if those upload and hosting terms better match your publishing volume.

Lucid is a podcast advertising alternative with a free monetization network requiring at least 1,000 monthly downloads and a supported host; participation does not require accepting work. Choose it when advertising is the specific need rather than a broader publishing platform.

Magellan AI provides a free verified-download prefix and show visibility, while full platform access requires a demo. It is an alternative to consider for that verified-download offering.

SpotsNow has a free plan with five monthly credits and show browsing. It is another option if those allowances suit your needs.

OpenStream is free to use, with no obligation and the option to cancel anytime.

Verdict

Choose Podigee if you want audio and video publishing, private podcasts, and monetization tools together, with paid capacity for multiple shows and seats. The clearest reason to look elsewhere is its constrained free tier and recurring video quotas; creators who need a more generous free catalogue or different publishing limits should compare alternatives before committing.
