Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Libsyn combines episode publishing, distribution, download reporting and advertising management.

Upload the finished media and manage release, distribution and reporting from the episode dashboard. Libsyn's current comparison separates audio upload time from video capacity: Basic lists three audio hours monthly and Advanced ten, while the main plans include up to 100 GB of monthly video uploads.

Basic lists YouTube video distribution; Advanced also lists Spotify video distribution. Apple HLS is labelled as coming soon on the inspected page, so it should not be treated as an available destination. Choose the publishing plan around media volume and destinations, then assess advertising participation and payout eligibility separately.
