--- title: Spreaker canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/spreaker/ category: Podcast Hosting Platforms points: 62 rank: 6 of 10 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # Spreaker Podcast host with a free plan for one show and unlimited shows from €20 a month. 62 points out of 100. #6 of 10 podcast hosts. Vendor: Spreaker. Website: https://www.spreaker.com/ - The free plan runs one podcast with unlimited episodes and sends it to Spotify and Apple Podcasts, with no card needed [1]. - Broadcaster costs €20 a month and allows unlimited podcasts and private, link-only podcasts [1][11]. - Collaborators arrive with Anchorman at €50 a month [1]. - Each uploaded file can be 300MB at most [16]. - Spreaker says all plans include IAB Certified Stats [2]. Verdict: Spreaker suits creators who want a free plan and a paid tier with unlimited shows and episodes [1][3]. It documents an RSS importer, episode download and an API [7][8][12]. The catch: its plan pages give no download or upload figures, and transcripts come from outside services [1][2][9]. Best for: Creators who want a free start and a host with built-in ad insertion. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Hosting limits | Unlimited episodes | Yes | 4/4 | Broadcaster lists unlimited episodes; no total storage figure appears on the plan pages [1][2]. | | Hosting limits | No monthly upload cap | Not published | 0/6 | Not published on the vendor's plans, plan overview or upload pages [1][2][16].
