Riverside is so awesome **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lindokuhle M. | Digital Content Creator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2022 **What do you like best about RedCircle?** The fact that it has a free option and that it's free option still allows you to do so many things and get your podcast in most directories. I couldn't be more happier with that **What do you dislike about RedCircle?** The analytics on the free version are limited, so I can't really know much about my listeners **Recommendations to others considering RedCircle:** Go for it!you won't regret it **What problems is RedCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** It offers me an opportunity to monetize once I get a larger audience which is motivation for me to just keep pushing because once I do that then they make it super easy to monetize. Not to mention they facilitate episode promo swaps and things like that with other podcast shows ### 4.

Their support team responds quickly to questions and requests. **What do you dislike about RedCircle?** There is nothing I dislike about it. There are features I wish it had like default page note templates and the ability to upload a few episode photos. I suggested these additions so I have faith that they will consider them. **What problems is RedCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** No problems but they are quick to answer any questions I have about their service. ### 5. Great UI-Excellent CS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steve B. | Chief Operating Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2021 **What do you like best about RedCircle?** It provides great analytics. The switchover from our other provider was easy. The UI is modern and easy to use. It is cost-effective, good value for money. **What do you dislike about RedCircle?** We use the paid version and the player they provide has their branding on it, for a paid service if you use their player it should have the ability to be white labelled, or be unbranded. **What problems is RedCircle solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great analytics. All of our podcasts are in one place and easy to manage. Good distribution of our programs to the leading providers. By using the paid service, we can have multiple seats. ### 6.
