Podcast platform ahead of the curve **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Megaphone?** I love the ease of use, but most especially dynamic audio insertion (DAI), which I believe to be the next great innovation for professional podcasts. With DAI, you can add audio segments across your entire catalog instantly. For example, I can sell an advertisement and drop that ad read across all of my episodes. In any given month, half my downloads come from catalog episodes, not newly released ones, and thus now I have a tool to monetize that other half of downloads through DAI. I also like how easy it is to change show settings and plan out ad slots, and pulling the show over from my previous host was so easy I actually did it by accident. **What do you dislike about Megaphone?** There is no real planning functionality for future episodes. I tend to record episodes a couple weeks ahead, and right now I use a Google sheet to plan out my coming weeks, who the guests are, episode titles, tags, sponsors, etc. I'd love for that functionality to be embedded into Megaphone so my producer and I have a central source of truth for the podcast. I've tried creating draft episodes in Megaphone, but it's a more complicated process than just editing a spreadsheet, so we stopped doing that last year and went back to the spreadsheet. **What problems is Megaphone solving and how is that benefiting you?** A hosting platform where I am the customer vs a free platform where I'm the product. Dynamic ad insertion is also a game changer and Megaphone does it best. ### 2. A solid solution for podcast performance measurement of multiple podcasts. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kathryn H. | Principal Curator | Director of Audience Development, Events, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Megaphone?** Megaphone is a very easy platform to learn and figure out. I love the options for generating specific reports either by show or timeframe. Compared to other podcast performance products, I found Megaphone offered more information about source of listen/downloads and a tiny bit more information on demographics than other podcast measurement platforms. I think compared to other platforms I trust the reporting more from Megaphone, although they are all using api's from various platforms. **What do you dislike about Megaphone?** While Megaphone offers more analytics, I would have loved to have an easier way to track retention rates, and more robust demographic information would be a game-changer. I've yet to find any podcast product that has all you need, but this one is the closest to hitting that mark. I wish the beautiful charts they have could easily be saved and used in other documents. Dynamic smart charts would also be helpful. **Recommendations to others considering Megaphone:** I think you should sign up for a free account or trial for a few and kick the tires. I know Megaphone is one of the more expensive products out there but you may decide the ease of use is worth it. I would recommend anyone using extensive social campaigns to promote your pod on various platforms use megaphone for the unique links you can generate for tracking purposes. It's a great way to figure out where your efforts are working and where your traffic is coming from. **What problems is Megaphone solving and how is that benefiting you?** We track our podcasts weekly, but we also had some producers and hosts who wanted that 24 hour initial downloads/listens information. We were able to easily hop on Megaphone and pull those numbers to report every week. I would have loved the option to auto export and send reports so we didn't have to go on platform to download. Even when we migrated to another platform, I still found Megaphone much easier to use and took advantage of the last few weeks of access we had to make my life easier. ### 3.

We were able to optimize our marketing ## Megaphone Discussions - [What is Megaphone used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-megaphone-used-for) - [What is the best way to use megaphone?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-the-best-way-to-use-megaphone) - 1 upvote - [View Megaphone pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/megaphone/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-16+00%3A54%3A39+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=56a1496f-8c51-4e5e-9fca-9fbfbd8a8f03&secure%5Btoken%5D=5136d0f4eb4f79668fa300bdfe542e53ab44a7666ab4f8c00ef49945dd63fa86&format=llm_user) ## Megaphone Features **Internet** - Unlimited Uploads - Unlimited Downloads - Unlimited Bandwidth - Website **Podcast Tools** - Tags - Calls to Action - Custom Branding **Customization** - Website - Calls to Action - Custom Branding - Voicemail - Audio editing - Multiple Hosts - Smart editing for audio - Audio library **Monetization** - Advertising - Subscriptions **Storage** - Local recording - Cloud recording **Other Functionality** - Unlimited Downloads - Unlimited Bandwidth - Tags - Performance - Private Podcast - Video Podcast - Embed on websites **Agentic AI - Podcast Hosting** - Autonomous Task Execution - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Megaphone Alternatives - [Async Creator](https://www.g2.com/products/async-creator/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (186 reviews) - [SoundCloud](https://www.g2.com/products/soundcloud/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (98 reviews) - [Storyboard](https://www.g2.com/products/storyboard-storyboard/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (108 reviews)
