Moreover, their plans are based on the number of hours you can upload in a month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have multiple podcasts you would need separate Buzzsprout accounts and pay for each podcast\u2019s hosting separately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasters with podcasts that have an unpredictable length as is the case with interview-style podcasts find the limitations on the hours you can upload inconvenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With Hubhopper<\/strong>, you don\u2019t have to worry about those limits. Enjoy unlimited hosting, storage, and hours, giving you and your creativity complete freedom to create at your own pace. Whether your episode length is 10 minutes or 2 hours, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also manage unlimited podcasts effortlessly, all from a single account.

Why? Because unfortunately you need to pay to migrate your show onto Buzzsprout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With Hubhopper<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/migrate-to-hubhopper\/\">migration<\/a> is entirely free. You can seamlessly transfer your podcast without any upfront costs and start exploring the features Hubhopper offers. You just need to fetch your RSS feed and follow the steps, and you\u2019ll be done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Hubhopper allows you to try premium features during the free trial period, giving you a complete experience before making any financial commitment. This flexibility ensures you can make an informed choice about switching without unnecessary expenses.<\/p>\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\/04\/migration-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Buzzsprout: Migration only on paid plans\n\nHubhopper: Migration on all plans (free + paid)\" class=\"wp-image-3561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/migration-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/migration-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/migration-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/migration-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/migration.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_Annual_Plan\"><\/span>No Annual Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buzzsprout strictly only has monthly plans. However, podcasters who want to avail an annual plan and get rid of the hassle to pay every month, have no option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Hubhopper, you get the flexibility to pay monthly or annually on any plan we offer. With the annual plan, you can save money too! On our $12\/month plan, you pay $115\/year (roughly $9.5\/month) and for our $24\/month Growth plan, you pay $230\/year (roughly $19.1\/month). You basically save around 20% each month with the annual plans.<\/p>\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\/04\/annual-plan-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Buzzsprout: Starts from $12\/month = $120\/year\n\nHubhopper: Starts from $12\/month but annual pans costs $115\/year ($9.5\/month)\" class=\"wp-image-3562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/annual-plan-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/annual-plan-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/annual-plan-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/annual-plan-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/annual-plan.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_features\"><\/span>AI features&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buzzsprout does offer AI features, but they come at an extra cost. Magic Mastering is an add-on for $6\/month, and Cohost AI costs $10\/month. Pair these with the $12 basic plan, and you\u2019re looking at $28\/month just to access these tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s quite a stretch for podcasters trying to keep things budget-friendly. Why pay more for AI when you could spend that on coffee for those late-night editing sessions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Buzzsprout, <a href=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/ai-podcast-editor-tools\/\">Hubhopper\u2019s AI features<\/a> are inclusive in your free trial and paid plans. So, you can generate transcripts, show notes titles, and social media captions for podcast promotion with your Pro plan that only costs you $12\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, we have something even better for podcasters just diving into podcasting. Hubhopper\u2019s Hopper AI, helps you generate podcast and episode details with just a simple prompt, saving you time. Record and edit on the go with an in-built editor and recorder, then launch your podcast episode in no time.<\/p>\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\/04\/AI-features-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Buzzsprout: AI features as add-on for $10\/month for $12\/month plan = $22\/month\n\nHubhopper: AI features included in the $12\/month plan\" class=\"wp-image-3563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AI-features-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AI-features-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AI-features-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AI-features-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AI-features.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lack_of_Video_Podcasting\"><\/span>Lack of Video Podcasting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With YouTube overtaking Spotify and Apple Podcasts as podcast discovery and listening platform, having a video podcast gives you an edge over audio only podcasts for reach and discoverability. Buzzsprout doesn\u2019t give you the option to distribute video podcasts, it only has the ability to distribute your audio podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Hubhopper, you can distribute your video and audio podcasts. If you choose to upload a <a href=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/video-podcast-platform\/\">video podcast<\/a>, we automatically extract the audio and distribute it to audio podcast directories. Distributing your audio and video podcast is seamless with Hubhopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you upload just the audio files, we convert it to video by keeping your podcast cover art static so you can still tap into the YouTube market.<\/p>\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\/04\/Video-podcast-1024x221.png\" alt=\"Buzzsprout: No video podcast feature\n\nHubhopper: Video + Audio podcast feature\" class=\"wp-image-3564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Video-podcast-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Video-podcast-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Video-podcast-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Video-podcast-278x60.png 278w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Video-podcast.png 1250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Podcast_Distribution\"><\/span>Podcast Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buzzsprout distributed your podcast to global podcast directories like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, etc. But there is a catch.
