Simplecast

Simplecast is a podcast management platform that covers hosting, distribution, analytics and monetization. It supports one-click publishing to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora and other listening apps, and is aimed at both independent creators and networks.

Its monetization tools include inventory controls for managing ad placements, pricing and which ads appear, plus access to the AdsWizz Marketplace, a programmatic exchange for podcast advertising. The site stresses that smaller shows get the same enterprise-level features as larger networks, and promotes updated publishing workflows and forthcoming episode templates.

Simplecast is a hosted service that offers a free account to get started, with paid plans described on its pricing page. Costs, episode limits and the exact features of paid plans are not included in the supplied information, so check the pricing page.
