It's whether you can run many client shows under one bill, separate permissions per client, and hand the feed over cleanly when a client leaves. Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Transistor - the default pick for most agencies.**\nUnlimited shows on every plan at a flat rate, priced on total downloads rather than per-podcast. Team members are included on all tiers, so you can add a client as a limited-access user without giving up the account. Starts around $19/mo. If you're managing 3-30 client shows and want one predictable invoice, start here.\n\n**2. Captivate - best when the agency's work is marketing, not just publishing.**\nAlso unlimited shows and unlimited uploads under one account, but the differentiator is granular custom roles and permissions per team member, plus stronger built-in growth tooling (calls-to-action, landing pages, attribution-ish analytics). Starts around $17/mo. Pick this over Transistor if your deliverable to clients is audience growth reporting.\n\n**3.
