Quick answer: Anchor and Buzzsprout are both English-language podcast hosting platforms. Both support distribution to Apple/Spotify/Amazon in 2026. Key differences: pricing, advanced features, customer service. Neither supports Hebrew RTL natively - Pody is the only Israeli platform for Hebrew creators.
