Which one should you pick?
Pick Podshare if
You’re building around guest-facing share pages. Podshare is a new and intentionally narrow tool from the Slice team: a single shareable page per episode that bundles everything a guest needs to promote — transcript, assets, platform links, suggested captions. That focus is the pitch, but also the limitation.
Pick Smash if
You’re building around casual senders. Smash is the French-built WeTransfer alternative that ditched the file-size cap entirely — send 2GB free with no signup, or 250GB on a $10/mo Pro plan. Large files past the free cap go into a slower queue, which is fine if you're not in a hurry.

Frequently asked
What does Podshare do better than Smash?
Podshare's standout is "Solves a specific guest-promotion problem cleanly". Smash doesn't make that promise — it leans into "No hard file size cap on any plan" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Podshare; if the second does, pick Smash.
What are the trade-offs?
Podshare: narrow scope by design. Smash: free transfers above 2gb use a slower queue. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Smash works on macOS, iOS, Android where Podshare doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Podshare and Smash together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Podshare for one show or episode type and Smash for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
