Which one should you pick?
Pick Foyer if
You’re building around premium-feel guest portals. Foyer is built as a secure client portal for accountants and consultants, not for podcasters specifically, but it works surprisingly well as a branded guest hub if you want to look the part. For most shows it's overkill — a Google Drive folder and a Tally form will do the same job for free.
Pick Podsqueeze if
You’re building around solo podcaster automation. Podsqueeze is the cheaper, smaller sibling to Castmagic — fewer bells and whistles but real value for solo creators who don't need agency-scale tooling. Show notes, transcripts, and audiograms are the strongest features.
