What RSS.com does
RSS.com is a podcast hosting service. You upload episodes, and the platform sends your show to listening apps such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and Amazon Music, and pushes new episodes out automatically afterward. Every plan is listed with unlimited episodes and downloads, and each show can have a free podcast website.
Pricing is freemium and quoted in USD. The Free plan costs $0 per month with no trial and no expiration, though you must add a credit card before uploading a second episode (you are not charged). Plus costs $19.99 per month billed monthly, or $15 per month billed yearly. Pro costs $34.99 per month billed monthly, or $26 per month billed yearly, and covers up to 10 podcasts. Max costs $49.99 per month billed monthly, or $37 per month billed yearly, and adds unlimited audio and video podcasts plus API access. The page advertises 25% off with annual billing and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
On the monetization side, paid plans can earn from programmatic ads (PAID) with as few as 10 downloads, and Apple Podcasts subscriptions are available. Pro and Max keep 70% of ad revenue; Max also covers video ad revenue and publishes one upload to both Apple Podcasts and YouTube. Analytics are described as IAB Tech Lab-certified, and AI-generated transcripts come with paid plans. A guided migration tool moves shows from other hosts, and the site offers 3 months free for people who switch.

Pros and cons
Pros

- Automatic distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and Amazon Music
- Programmatic ads from as few as 10 downloads on paid plans
- Max publishes one video upload to Apple Podcasts and YouTube and includes API access

Cons
- Free plan requires adding a credit card before the second episode
- Video podcasts, API access and the 70% video ad share are limited to the Max plan
- Pro is capped at up to 10 podcasts
- Annual billing saves 25%, so monthly billing costs noticeably more
- No free trial for paid plans is stated on the pricing page
Our take
RSS.com suits podcasters who want a free starting point with unlimited episodes and straightforward distribution, then a path to ads, subscriptions and transcripts as the show grows. Teams with several shows should look at Pro, which covers up to 10 podcasts. Video podcasters will need Max, the most expensive tier at $49.99 per month billed monthly. The trade-offs: the Free plan wants a credit card before the second episode, ad monetization and transcripts need a paid plan, and the pages do not list native apps or a trial for paid tiers. Check the 30-day money-back guarantee before committing.
