• Upload-Based Hosting with Unlimited Storage and Listeners — All paid plans include unlimited episode storage, unlimited listening, and unlimited team members; plans are differentiated by monthly upload hours (6, 15, or 35 hours/month), not by episode count or audience size.

• One-Click Directory Submission — Submit your podcast to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Podcast Index, and YouTube simultaneously from the Buzzsprout dashboard; all directories are kept updated automatically as you publish new episodes.

• Video Soundbites — Create shareable video clips from any segment of your audio episode to promote your podcast on social media; generate multiple video snippets per episode in different formats directly from the Buzzsprout dashboard.

• Dynamic Content — Insert time-sensitive audio segments (ads, announcements, calls to action) before, during, or after any episode across your entire back catalog without re-uploading or re-editing the original file.

• Magic Mastering (Add-On) — An optional AI audio processing add-on that removes background noise, balances audio levels, and eliminates filler words automatically when you upload each episode, applying studio-quality enhancement without manual editing; $5–$20/month depending on plan.
