Which one should you pick?
Pick Podcastpage if
You’re building around creators who want a polished, podcast-optimised website without coding.. Podcastpage isn't a host. It's the layer you bolt on top of Buzzsprout or Transistor when you finally admit your podcast website looks like a 2014 WordPress theme.
Pick Spotify for Creators if
