Great for hosting your podcast

PROS

This review is for Libsyn 4. It’s easy to use and pick up on. You can see stats and other quick look things on the dashboard. Rarely do I have problems

CONS

If you’re using Libsyn 5, it seems like they haven’t worked out all the kinks yet. Small problems come up and sometimes stats aren’t correct. I suggest using Libsyn 4 instead.

Solid Podcasting Host

Overall it's a good service and I don't intend to change.

PROS

If you're looking for a paid platform for hosting your podcasts, Libsyn is a solid choice. It has good functionality, lots of options and customization, and is relatively easy to figure out and use.

CONS

Honestly the worst part of Libsyn is the look of the UI. I don't love it. Now that doesn't affect terribly how it all works, so that's a silver lining, but I would enjoy using it *more* if I liked how it looked while I was using it. Also sometimes I have had connections to our website or other services fail and there doesn't seem to be a good notification system in the dashboard or elsewhere that shows me clearly that something is failing.

Easy to Use Podcast Hosting

If you want no-frills podcast hosting you can't beat Libsyn.

PROS

Libsyn was super easy to set up and was and was an easy choice when we started our podcast.

CONS

Their communication about your podcast and it's milestones isn't the greatest.

Great podcast host!

PROS

I've been using Libsyn nearly two years and really like it. It's reliable and has good analytics.

CONS

Libsyn 5 doesn't auto post to social like the old version. It's easier to use overall though.

Reason for choosing Libsyn

Other well-established podcasters use it and recommended it. It seemed like a reputable option.
