Libsyn Reviews & Product Details

It is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. Upload your files and set it up once, then libsyn does the rest by distributing it to all the podcast networks including Spotify/Apple.

The UI is continuing to be updated and getting better like the modern apps. I don't doubt that libsyn will eventually get to a point where it is super streamlined.

Libsyn saves time and is very simple to use. The pricing structure is also fair and very beginner friendly. This makes it very easy to start a podcast and get onto all the major networks.

Libsyn was very user-friendly for new podcasters who aren't super tech savvy. It also included helpful analytics every month even on the lowest/cheapest tier as well as a decent amount of audio storage.

The landing site didn't always link properly and I would have liked more storage per tier, but it was a good deal overall.

Hosting podcast audio with relative ease and low cost. We haven't recorded an episode in over a year, but I maintain my membership to continue to keep the old episodes hosted. I would like to verify that I can cancel without losing my work.

It's super easy to upload, edit, and schedule my client's podcast materials on Libsyn. I also love that it's able to provide us with the statistics that we need to measure the growth and success of the podcast.

It doesn't provide us with the complete demographics of the audience that listens to my client's podcast. It would be helpful to know their gender, age, as well as the time they listen for us to gauge and systematize our growth efforts.

The overall distribution of the client's podcast materials to different players has been solved by Libsyn. With its simple features, with just a few clicks and we're able to publish the episode in one go.

It's very easyto host your podcast with Libsyn. The process is simple. It's also easy to distribute your podcast to various podcasting services. I've found customer service to be very responsive.

While it's excellent Libsyn updates its platform from time to time, it can take a little while to adjust to changes. This is a little picky, as I'm glad they're keeping the platform up to date. Usually, there are webinars to go over changes.

I needed a place to host and distribute my podcast. I have limited technical skills and found the Libsyn to be relatively easy, like uploading a video on YouTube.

Easy to use and get started. Lots of cool features.

It could be a little cheaper, perhaps, though overall still good value.

It's a great podcasting host for bringing my show to the world.

Libsyn is super straightforward - no extra or clunky bells and whistles. Customer support is on point as well.

Some of the billing tiers are confusing but otherwise no complaints.

I am able to organize all my podcast shows, feeds, etc in one place, saving time in the process.

episodes get sent to all major players so podcast is very easily accessible

I haven't had any complaints about libsyn

ease of use, easily able to track stats. podcast hosted on this site so easy to store

Easy to use and extremely reliable. Never had an issue uploading or using the system. I have a weekly podcast, Only upload 4 episodes (30 minute on average) per week. After that past episodes are archived for all time. Great service.

Metrics reports used to be better, moved to a new reports that are harder to read. Miss the bar chart monthly totals. Dislike they lost all the previous data before November 2017. I believe there are metrics about where downloads originate by geography. I don't care about that. All I want are nice looking reports to share with prospective sponsors

I use it to host my podcast. Have been a client for 5 years and have over 270 episodes published. Never had a listener express any issues downloading or listening the the podcast. Great stuff.

The stats functionality for seeing podcast listens, location globally of listeners. Plus the simplicity of using this to upload and manage podcasts. We have used this for more than one podcast also, so are pleased with it.

Perhaps the only minor gripe is that the subscription is in US Dollars so the amount we are paying every month can fluctuate based on the currency exchange rates. But other than that I wouldn't say I have something to dislike about it.

Uploading a podcast, thumbnail and core text to one location, for the system to then push this out across all podcasting platforms is great functionality and value for us. I appreciate that some other platforms may have similar features, but we have had no reason to want to change system.

The ease of use, by far, is what I enjoyed the most. You're never left wondering how to use it so you can make the best of hosting your podcast and create the impact you want. Libsyn is for serious Podcasters in my mind.

As much as the Libsyn platform has all the bells and whistles that a Podcaster would need if you are working on a passion project and low on funds, I would say the fee might be a bit steep.

I needed to use Libsyn for my podcast hosting

Libsyn makes setting up and updating your show's RSS feed very easy. It connects to most major podcast networks, which is very convenient when launching a show for the first time.

Managing multiple shows with one account can be difficult and require multiple sign-ons. Also, it would be nice if the basic plan came with the ability to export analyitcs.

Our agency manages podcasts for our clients (some of which have multiple shows). We use Libsyn to schedule episodes, managing RSS feeds, and create new shows easily.

I like that Libsyn gives detailed and insightful statistics about downloads and the ability to download a spreadsheet of the data too!

The only thing I dislike about Libsyn is that there is no option to join the sponsorship program unless you have 20k downloads per month.

Libsyn has created a central place to monitor my podcast, and an easy way to distribute to iTunes, Spotify and more! It’s a great place to go to see how my show is doing, broken down into episodes too.

I love that Libsyn ,once you learn what you need to upload, is great for getting your podcasts out to so many places to listen. I also like that you can schedule when you wasn’t to publish.

I still don’t fully understand all the features and it’s not always obvious where to get the help to learn.

It has allowed me to have a podcast out that is growing my brand. The benefits of syndication to many online listening resources is getting my message out to more people potentially!

We've used Libsyn for years to host and distribute our podcast. It's very easy and straightforward to use and allows us to release the podcast on all major platforms simultaneously.

I'm not sure that the listener metrics are super accurate, so I'd love more information about that data and more detailed data.

We use this to distribute the podcast - it's the easiest way we've found to do so.

In the early days of podcasting, Libsyn was a great all-in-one solution for the podcasting individual. With hosting, analytics, and some light options for monetization, it was a killer solution a while back, with pricing that also worked well for solopreneurs.

Ultimately, a lot of other options came out that did a better job of user experience design than Libsyn. They lost their edge on pricing as the price went up, but not a lot was added to the mix of features.

For a podcaster, Libsyn can be the main tool used to host a podcast, get reporting on it, and even get some light monetization into the mix. For that purpose, Libsyn does a solid job of supporting its users. Recent changes didn't keep me on the platform, but I hope they continue to make progress.

For a podcast with a very professional look, Libsyn is easy to use. The platform also makes it very easy to publish podcast episodes automatically to multiple platforms and integrates well with WordPress for embedding on a website. Libsyn provides easy-to-digest stats for podcast episodes and is very reliable overall.

No real complaints. Occasionally the artwork I load into my show files as thumbnails shows up rotated 90 degrees to the left. It's a weird quirk and hard to tell if the issue is with the original art or with Libsyn. I have to tweak the art file and re-upload it.

It's simple and reliable, which is very important for a professional podcast. Our audience expects a weekly episode. Libsyn is easy to use and gives the podcast a professional appearance. It's easy to publish podcast episodes from the main dashboard to multiple platforms.

I like the ability to bookmark podcasts on mobile, from pages where a quick-to-load player is not available, like Spotify.

I dislike the size of the Podcast Album Cover, it should be prioritized to be larger.

I am solving the problem of hyperlinking my podcast in a way that is accessible at a fast speed internationally

Everything I need is all right there! It's all easy to access, and see how my podcast is performing. And It's super easy to upload and edit my podcast after the fact if need be. Highly recommend.

The UX is a little clunky and very late aughts looking. But other than that minor cosmetic flaw that's all the "problems" I have had.

Hosting my podcast.

This is a user friendly program that allowed me to launch a podcast for a nonprofit quickly and easily.

Perhaps not a Libsyn issue, but the specifications for each podcats platform are different, so it's a lot of images and info to upload.

One stop shop for launching a podcast across multiple platforms!

It's easy to use and has great tools for sharing your podcast on your website.

The price is reasonable but I wish it were cheaper to host a group of podcasts.

Easy and affordable starter podcast hosting.
