Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:\n\n**1. Transistor - the default answer for most agencies.** Every plan includes multiple shows at no extra per-show cost, each with its own RSS feed, website, and analytics. Unlimited episodes, unlimited team members, private podcasting, dynamic ad insertion. Starts around $19/mo with a 14-day trial (no free tier). If you're running 5-20 client shows and mostly need clean hosting + analytics without per-show fees eating your margin, stop here. ([transistor.fm](https://transistor.fm/features/host-multiple-podcasts-on-the-same-account/))\n\n**2. Captivate - pick this if your clients care about growth and marketing.** Unlimited podcasts on one account, and its marketing tooling (AMIE for dynamic content and ad insertion, available to every Captivate podcaster, not just enterprise tiers) is stronger than Transistor's. Good middle ground when clients want sponsorship infrastructure but aren't big enough for a network deal.
