Other services such as Podtrac give greater details, but Anchor and Spotify were removed as accessible for that service > > I have used a few different services and even with some of its lacking features, the ability to easily roll out your podcast makes Anchor a clear choice ----- ### "Super simple and amazing" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *21 November 2024* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Anchor offered a simple interface for easy and fast uploading of episodes. other sites I've tried made me go through random steps that tripped me up to just get to the upload page. > > **Cons**: Not a lot of cons for a free service. It's hard to complain that a free service doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles. I'd rather have a solid simple service than an overly bloated service that doesn't work well. Anchor was lean and amazing. > > Loved it, wish I never left. When Spotify took control I was offered a free "lifetime" offer with a competitor and I regret it to this day. Anchor was easy and simple and uploading episodes was a breeze. ----- ### "I Switched from Anchor (Spotify for Creators) to Riverside.fm Hosting" — 4.0/5 > **Baxter** | *8 May 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was an easy workflow and well organized. Make uploading videos to spotify easy. Sense its free there is great value for money. > > **Cons**: It only Showed Analytics from Spotify which isn't helpful for podcasting and learning about your episodes. The customer support isnt great > > Great but I switch to riverside because It givves me better analitics a website and, publishes better to YouTube. But Anchor now known as Spotify for Creators is great for a begginer Podcaster. ----- ### "Anchor review" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *22 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has very good audio editing, the sound is crisp and they are always available to answer to question very quickly. > > **Cons**: The voice and vocal recording option was hard to use, the interface was not friendly to use. A lot of time to learn it. > > Overall it was a great experience. I got exactly what I was looking for. It is a great value for my money. ----- ### "Raising the Anchor" — 5.0/5 > **Camencia** | *3 August 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Anchor is so easy to use; you just plug in the data and go. I really miss recording my podcasts. The hardest part of its use was coming up with ways to keep my words in the correct order. Mostly because I had so many of them. > > **Cons**: At the time of my usage of the software, there was no live or AI features available. This can only mean one thing; time to revisit Anchor and share what's new\! > > The funds spent on Anchor is worth every penny. There is more to it than just hit record and upload. There is also mental therapy that takes place the more you use it. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1013797/anchor?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1013797/anchor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
