Starting and growing a podcast takes work and many podcasters eventually want to monetize their shows and make money. 

It makes sense that many newer podcasters start out using Anchor because it’s 100% free. So how does Anchor make money giving away free service?

If you decide to use Anchor Sponsorships to monetize your podcast, they take a 30% cut of your earnings plus an additional processing fee. Ouch!

If you monetize and your show gets popular, you’ll be paying significantly more to use their “free” service than you would with another host like RSS.com where you have more control, options, and features.
