It overcomes the major limitations and also gives you everything and more than what Libsyn offers.

Why is it restrictive? Because for many creators, predicting their episode length is tricky and therefore makes choosing a plan quite tough. One doesn\u2019t want to overpay and not utilise the limit or underpay and fall short of hours they can upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Hubhopper, there is no limit on the hours of episodes you can upload. If one month you want to upload 10 hours of content but in another month only 2 hours you can. You don&#8217;t need to worry about how many hours you can upload on your current plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unlimited-hours-1-1024x221.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unlimited-hours-1-1024x221.png 1024w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unlimited-hours-1-300x65.png 300w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unlimited-hours-1-768x166.png 768w, https:\/\/hubhopper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/unlimited-hours-1.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_limits\"><\/span>Podcast limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re good at podcasting, why limit to just one podcast?

Yes, that\u2019s what a lot of our creators do. In fact, 40% of our users have more than one podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So whether you want to host one, two, or ten podcasts, you can do so with only one account.
