Looking to learn more about Podcast Hosting software similar to Transistor? Check out these popular alternatives that are closest in terms of key features, functionality, and benefits.
Pros
I offer the podcast feed as a bonus feature of signing up for a paid subscription, and Transistor has made the process of doing this extremely simple.
Really impressed with the quality of Transistor's staff. The overall set up and pricing helps running multiple shows much easier and cheaper.
Cons
That I didn't find them sooner. So much wasted time on our prior solution and so much lost marketing value for missing key technical issues.
The number is quite a bit lower for a long-running pod than the previous host had estimated. However, it's very possible that the previous host was incorrect.
"The Transistor experience"
Overall: Overall I am a firm believer that support is the canary in the coal mine for products. It demonstrates to me that the internal team loves the product, and this means that loving hands are making the food. Our entire team is loving the experience and we hope more people jump on board.
Pros: Hands down, some of the best customer support I've ever experienced. I mean above and beyond to ensure things were working correctly and troubleshooting our internal issues that were honestly out of scope for their team, but they dealt with it anyway.
Cons: That I didn't find them sooner. So much wasted time on our prior solution and so much lost marketing value for missing key technical issues.
"Premium Podcast Feed + Multiple Podcasts on One Account"
Overall: Overall Transistor is very easy to use and does what you want it to do. It's by far the best podcast host I've used.
Pros: The ability to host a premium podcast in addition to my traditional podcast feed has been huge for the initial growth of my subscriber-based business.I have been able to integrate the podcast feed with Zaper and Stripe, allowing a new payment in Stripe to auto-send an email with instructions on setting up the private podcast feed. I offer the podcast feed as a bonus feature of signing up for a paid subscription, and Transistor has made the process of doing this extremely simple. I literally haven't had to troubleshoot it once since setting it up. I also have multiple free podcast feeds that I manage under just one account. It's always been very strange to me that other providers don't allow this.
Cons: Not 100% sure how accurate the subscriber count is. The number is quite a bit lower for a long-running pod than the previous host had estimated. However, it's very possible that the previous host was incorrect.
