If you want more, you need to upgrade and pay up. Imagine you\u2019ve created a great 90-minute podcast episode only to find out you\u2019ve surpassed your monthly limit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019re a new podcaster still trying to figure out your processes or an experienced one who wants the best deal for their money, Podbean might not be the best podcast hosting platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Podbeans&#8217; free plan you get 5 hours, and then it scales up to 100 hours, 200 hours and so forth. Now you might be one of those podcasters whose episode length varies and that\u2019s the heart and soul of your podcast. Trying to limit it just because your podcast hosting platform doesn\u2019t support it is not the best case scenario.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you might be a podcaster who has multiple podcasts (because you\u2019re awesome like that) and all the episodes add up and the hours you need per month is high. In this case, Podbean also poses limitations on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you need is a podbean alternative that lets you upload unlimited hours. That\u2019s exactly what Hubhopper offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Hubhopper, you overcome Podbean\u2019s biggest limitation &#8211; cap on the hours you can upload. So upload hour long audio files, chat it up, create magic in your episodes, we have your back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_podcasts\"><\/span>Multiple podcasts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/unlimited-podcasts-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Hubhopper - Create unlimited podcasts and manage them all with one account.\n\nPodbean - Restriction of creating 2 podcasts.

You can only manage two podcasts at the same time which can be quite restrictive. Their network plan gives you the ability to host multiple podcasts but it is priced at $99\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does a podcaster with a limited budget do? Well, the solution is to find a platform that offers you to manage unlimited podcasts with one single account without dropping big bucks. With Hubhopper, you can manage unlimited podcasts with just one account. Combine that with the ability to upload unlimited hours, and you\u2019ve got yourself a podcast hosting platform that won\u2019t limit your podcasts creativity and give you free reins to experiment and play around to grow your podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Team_feature\"><\/span>Team feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Hubhopper - Team feature available on all paid plans, so you get a platform that supports your potential to grow from day one.\n\nPodbean - Podbean only offers the team feature on their network plan ($99\/month).\" class=\"wp-image-3540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/team-feature.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo podcasters manage their shows on their own in the beginning. But sooner or later you\u2019ll scale your show, and hire a team. But, Podbean only offers the team feature on their network plan ($99\/month), which is a higher price tag for independent podcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution? A Podbean alternative that supports your growth potential from day one and offers you the team feature at a much more reasonable price so you don\u2019t worry about the costs too much. Plus, if the feature gives you access to what each member has access to, it\u2019ll help you out so much more!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where Hubhopper helps you out &#8211; Manage your team, assign them roles, manage their access, and see who made what made changes to keep track of everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Branding_limitations\"><\/span>Branding limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Hubhopper - Wide variety of customization for your dynamic and indexable podcast website.\n\nPodbean - Limited customization of your podcast website.\" class=\"wp-image-3541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/branding-limitation.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/podcast-maker\/\">podcast website<\/a> is a MUST now, and if you don\u2019t have it, you\u2019re missing out on so much.

Hubhopper, in contrast, includes unlimited bandwidth and downloads even on its free plan. It also supports Indian language distribution, gives access to AI-powered tools, and doesn\u2019t rush users into early upgrades, making it more flexible for creators starting out.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1743128804525\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong><br\/><strong>Does Hubhopper offer a free podcast hosting plan?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>Yes, Hubhopper has a free Basic plan that lets you upload up to four episodes each month. It includes unlimited storage, listener access, and bandwidth, all without a time limit or forced upgrade.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1743128813078\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/><strong>Which platform is better for growing a podcast<\/strong>, <strong> Podbean or Hubhopper?<\/strong><br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For creators focused on discoverability and multilingual growth, Hubhopper offers an edge.

Podbean also offers growth tools, but many are behind a paywall.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745004407913\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/><strong>Can I migrate my podcast from Podbean to Hubhopper?<\/strong><br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.
