Podigee

Overview

Podigee is a podcast hosting and publishing service from a Berlin-based company founded in 2013. It is best suited to creators who want audio and video distribution alongside private podcasts and monetization tools. The free tier is sharply limited for ongoing publishing; paid plans make sense when their show, video and team allowances match your needs.

Key features

Podigee provides an RSS feed and distributes shows to major directories, covering the essential path from hosting to listener apps. Private podcast support and monetization tools add options beyond public distribution, while video support lets creators publish video podcasts as well as audio. Analytics are basic, and the history available depends on the plan: seven days on LAUNCH, 90 on STARTER and 365 on SCALE. LAUNCH is too brief for tracking performance over time; SCALE is much more useful for reviewing longer-term changes. CREATOR has no stated analytics period.

Video allowances are recurring on paid plans but lifetime caps on LAUNCH. That distinction matters: a creator who publishes regularly will quickly outgrow the free tier, while paid allowances impose clear monthly ceilings.

Pricing

LAUNCH is free forever and includes one podcast, 60 minutes of audio over the plan’s lifetime, two video episodes or 15 video minutes over the lifetime, seven days of analytics and one seat. Its permanent media limits make it suitable for a small, finite project or a narrow evaluation, not a continuing catalogue.

STARTER costs €19.00 per month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It supports one podcast and one seat, with four video episodes and 30 video minutes per month and 90 days of analytics. This is the paid entry point for a solo creator with one show and modest video publishing; it gives up the broader show capacity and longer analytics history of higher tiers.

SCALE costs €39.00 per month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It raises capacity to three podcasts, 12 video episodes and 180 video minutes per month, with three seats and 365 days of analytics. It is the stronger fit for a small team managing several shows or needing a year of analytics, though video remains capped each month.

CREATOR costs €59.00 per month, billed monthly, excluding tax where applicable. It allows five podcasts, 20 video episodes and 300 video minutes per month, with five seats. The tier structure puts show count, video volume and seats at the center of the upgrade decision.

Platforms

Podigee is available on the web, iOS and Android, giving users access across browsers and mobile devices.

Who it's for

Podigee is a good match for creators who need podcast distribution plus private shows or monetization tools, especially when video publishing and multiple team seats are part of the workflow. Solo publishers can start on STARTER if one show and its monthly video allowance are enough. LAUNCH is a constrained option for a finite project, while teams with several shows or longer analytics needs should consider SCALE. Creators who need more than the listed monthly video quotas should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: RSS and major-directory distribution, private podcasts, video support and monetization tools bring several publishing needs together.
• Pros: SCALE and CREATOR expand podcast counts and seats, giving multi-show teams room beyond the single-show tiers.
• Cons: LAUNCH caps audio and video for the lifetime of the plan, making it unsuitable for ongoing publishing.
• Cons: Paid plans cap video episodes and minutes each month, so frequent video publishing may not fit.
• Cons: CREATOR has no stated analytics history, making that aspect harder to weigh against SCALE’s 365-day window.

Verdict

Choose Podigee if you want distribution, private podcasts and monetization in a service that also supports video, and its monthly quotas fit your publishing pace. Its clearest advantage is the combination of those tools with higher-tier capacity for multiple shows and seats. Look elsewhere if you need generous uncapped video, or if the free tier’s lifetime media limits are too restrictive for a lasting show.
