Podpage vs. Podbean

Compare Podpage and Podbean and hear from podcasters about what service they prefer for their podcast website.

“Before Podpage, I was on my podcast host's website (Podbean). I glanced at the bottom of the home page of another podcaster's website and saw a link that said, "Podcast Website by Podpage." A website specifically made for podcasters?! I didn't know that existed! Yes, please! I looked at all the great features that were tailored for podcasters by someone who knows exactly what we need, and it's in an easy to set up format. I was quickly sold.”

Side by Side Comparison

Podbean is a well-known podcast host that includes a basic website. Customizing it is the hard part. Podcasters come to Podpage when they want to collect emails, sell something, or actually get found in search, which is where Podbean's built-in site runs out of room.

Podcasters switch from Podbean to Podpage all the time

Don't just take our word for it. Learn directly from podcasters who used to use Podbean but switched to Podpage to give their podcast website the best chance possible.

Three years I fumbled with a subpar website provided as part of my hosting package. I made the leap to Podpage and it's been a game changer. More professional. More flexible. Better customization. A win all around! Should have done this 3 years ago.

I switched to Podpage because I wanted to be able to include reviews on page, have a database of followers who I could send newsletters to and for a better SEO experience.

For the first few years of my podcast, I used the basic "website" provided by my podcast host. I signed up to utilize Podpage very shortly after it was introduced, and as someone who has a podcast that is geared towards an audience halfway around the world, I decided that Podpage would be a great option for me to make my podcast look as professional as possible, helping to encourage growth and traffic to my podcast and blog.

While Spotify and Podbean's built in website function were ok, I wanted to better customize the look and feel of our website. Podpage has allowed us to do just that. The automation is wonderful! I don't need to micromanage importing episode releases but I still have the ability to go into individual episode pages and make changes if necessary. We're also really appreciative of being able to add in custom code if and when we need it.

I was using my podcast host's page that came with hosting. There were very few specific tools that made the page work for me as a podcaster. It was a very simple page. Podpage has provided a website that looks great! My podcast loads automatically, I can add to my page easily, I have a guest intake form, I can encourage reviews and they are posted on my podpage, there are pop-ups, and I can save email addresses. There are some many cool tools that I have just scratched the service. I am glad tha

Top 3 reasons why podcasters choose Podpage

We asked podcasters why they chose Podpage over Podbean for their podcast website. These were the top reasons.
1

Automation

Podpage automatically updates your website with your latest episodes, show notes, reviews, video, and more.

Updating my website each time I launched a new episode created yet another barrier around publishing new episodes. The ease & automation of Podpage along with knowing it focuses on SEO for me made it a no-brainer.

Design

Podpage has the world's most beautiful podcast website templates, available to all plans at no extra charge.

The website design is absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, it looks as if it came from a top graphic design firm in NYC and cost a small fortune. Everybody who sees my website comments on it.

I LOVE how easy podpage is. I literally don't have to do anything - just upload my episode and BOOM. It's there, looking beautiful and so easy to share as anyone can click on whatever platform they want to listen to from one link.
