Bandzoogle

Bandzoogle is the website builder for musicians that's quietly survived every wave of platform consolidation by staying focused on its niche. Founded in 2003 and still independent in 2026, the product packages a website, gigs calendar, music player, merch store, and email tools into plans starting at Lite for $9.95/month ($99.50/year), Standard at $14.95/month ($149.50/year), and Pro at $19.95/month ($199.50/year).

Specialised plans include EPK at $6.95/month for press kits and Merch Table tiers from $6.95 for basic merch listings to $24.95/month for the Pro merch experience. Every plan includes a free domain, unlimited bandwidth, premium hosting, and unlimited support.

There are no contracts and you can change plans at any time. For podcast use specifically, Bandzoogle is the right choice when the podcast is part of a musician's broader brand: a singer-songwriter who runs an interview show, a band whose podcast covers tour life, a record label whose flagship show is a marketing channel.

In those cases the platform's music-first features (gig calendars, streaming integrations, merch store, fan email lists) carry the weight and the podcast is one tab on the website. For a standalone podcast that isn't tied to music, Bandzoogle is a strange fit.

The templates lean heavily into music industry aesthetics, the integrations assume Spotify-and-Bandcamp distribution, and the audience expectations are built around tour dates and album drops. Squarespace, Wix, or a podcast-host's built-in site will serve a non-music show better.
