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 ₪97 or Max ₪197) 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 (₪97/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.
