What Does Podcast Hosting Include?
Podcast hosting stores your audio files and distributes your RSS feed to major directories — Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, and more. Advanced hosts like Pody add analytics, episode scheduling, embeddable players, and marketing tools. According to Spotify's 2025 Creator Report, 63% of independent podcasters use a dedicated hosting platform rather than uploading directly to each platform.
On Pody, you can choose between platforms at every level — a fixed monthly subscription (Pro ₪47 or Max ₪97) or pay-as-you-go with Podyz credits. See full pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is free podcast hosting good enough?
For beginners publishing 1–4 episodes/month, free tiers (Pody Free, Spotify for Creators) are perfectly viable. Once you exceed 4 episodes/month or need analytics and reels, upgrading to Pody Pro (₪47/month) pays off within the first month.
Can I switch hosting platforms without losing subscribers?
Yes. Update your RSS feed URL on your new host and submit a feed redirect from your old platform. Most directories (Spotify, Apple) process the redirect within 24–72 hours and your existing subscribers migrate automatically.
Does Pody handle VAT invoicing for Israeli podcasters?
Yes. Pody issues automatic VAT-compliant invoices for all Israeli accounts (Osek Murshe and Osek Patur). This is a key advantage over US-based hosts like Buzzsprout that require manual tax handling.
