Free Speech ($0/month): one podcast, unlimited episodes, ad monetization, six months of statistics, and a 20% fee on Supporters Club income.

Spreaker Podcast Submission Services
Spreaker makes distribution look like a single click, and for many shows it nearly is. The trouble starts afterwards. Apple may have received your show on your behalf, yet it never appears in your Podcasts Connect account. Your iHeartRadio submission may be stuck in review because the latest episode is three weeks old. A migrated feed may have duplicated itself on Deezer. Or your show may have crossed 5,000 monthly downloads without anyone preparing it for Spreaker Prime.
SEOServiceinIndia provides Spreaker podcast submission services for independent podcasters, brands, agencies and networks across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore and India. Our work covers the full path from your Spreaker account to every app your listeners use:
- setting up or migrating your show on Spreaker
- pushing it through every one-click destination correctly
- claiming the listings you need to control
- extending distribution beyond the Spreaker dashboard
- preparing the show for monetization and search discovery
You end up with a clean feed, verified listings and a written record of exactly where your podcast lives.

Platform Basics
What Spreaker Is, and What It Isn't
Spreaker is a podcast hosting, recording and monetization platform, founded in Italy in 2010 and now part of iHeartMedia. It does five main jobs:
- stores your audio and generates your RSS feed
- records and broadcasts live through Spreaker Studio
- inserts ads dynamically
- reports IAB Tech Lab certified statistics
- distributes your show to the major listening apps
It is not a directory in the way Apple Podcasts or Deezer are. Many "top podcast submission sites" lists still treat Spreaker as a place where you paste in an existing feed and get listed. In practice, a show appears on Spreaker's own website and apps because it is hosted on Spreaker. It either starts there or arrives through Spreaker's RSS import tool.
That means a Spreaker podcast submission is really two jobs. The first is getting the show onto Spreaker properly. The second is getting it from Spreaker to everywhere else.
The plan line-up has also changed since many reviews were written. Spreaker's own plans page currently lists four tiers:
Broadcaster ($20/month): unlimited podcasts, enhanced private podcasts, Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, advanced statistics, twelve months of data and no Supporters Club fee.
Anchorman ($50/month): full statistics, unlimited collaborators and customizable player colors.
Publisher ($250/month): an ad campaign manager for selling your own ads, organizations, priority support and twenty-four months of statistics.
The low-cost "On-Air Talent" tier still quoted in older articles no longer appears on the official page. We size your plan against what Spreaker sells today, not what a 2022 review says.
One-Click Distribution
Why One-Click Distribution Still Leaves Work Undone
Spreaker's Distribution page offers one-click submission to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Deezer, Podcast Addict and Podchaser. Amazon Music has its own flow. This is genuinely useful. But every destination keeps its own rules, and the button doesn't make those rules disappear.
Delivered is not the same as owned. Spreaker can deliver your show to Apple Podcasts without you ever creating an Apple Podcasts Connect account. It's fast, but it leaves you outside the Apple dashboard, which is where you see analytics, control show-level settings and manage future feed changes. The same principle applies on Spotify and other platforms where claiming a show unlocks statistics and profile editing. We decide, route by route, which listings you need to own, and then we claim them.
Every platform reviews differently:
- Apple can take up to about ten business days. It returns specific errors that must be fixed before you resubmit.
- iHeartRadio expects at least one episode published in the last two weeks and rejects unlicensed or indecent material. Approval can take a few weeks.
- Spotify can remove shows that carry music tracks or DJ mixes, whatever their licensing status.
A show can sail through one review and stall in another.
Migration has its own trap. If your podcast is already on Apple Podcasts or Spotify under a previous host, resubmitting from Spreaker creates duplicate listings. The correct move is a feed redirect from the old host. Deezer doesn't follow redirects, so it needs a separate manual update.
Seven buttons, many more apps. Your listeners also use Pocket Casts, Overcast, Castro, Player FM, YouTube, JioSaavn, Podcast Index and regional players. Each has its own way in, and several only pick up shows that are already approved elsewhere.
That gap between "submitted" and "discoverable everywhere" is what our Spreaker podcast distribution service closes.
Service Scope
Our Spreaker Podcast Submission Services
Spreaker Account and Show Setup
We create a new Spreaker account or tidy up your existing one, and we choose the plan that fits your goals. Then we build a show every directory will accept:
- square artwork within Apple's 1400 to 3000 pixel range
- a keyword-led title that reads naturally
- a description written for both listeners and search
- correct categories and explicit-content flag
- a visible owner email
- consistent episode titles and numbering
One-Click Distribution, Handled Properly
Before any button is pressed, your feed goes through a pre-submission check. We then run each one-click submission to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Castbox, Deezer, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Amazon Music. We track every status (approved, awaiting or rejected) and fix whatever a platform flags.
Apple Podcasts and Spotify Ownership
Where control matters, we submit through your own Apple Podcasts Connect account rather than the on-behalf route. We also claim your Spotify listing through Spotify for Creators, so analytics and profile edits stay with you. If Spreaker has already delivered your show without an account, we claim the listing afterwards.
iHeartRadio Approval
Because Spreaker belongs to iHeartMedia, the iHeartRadio route is the shortest path open to Spreaker-hosted shows. That includes shows based in countries where iHeart's own podcaster portal isn't available. We time the submission to a fresh episode, check content and artwork against iHeart's rules, and follow the show through review.
Migrate Your Podcast to Spreaker Without Losing Subscribers
We handle the move end to end:
- import your RSS feed and preserve episode GUIDs
- set up the 301 feed redirect at your old host
- confirm each directory has followed the redirect
- update Deezer manually, since it doesn't follow redirects
No resubmissions, no duplicate listings and no lost followers.
Distribution Beyond the Dashboard
We extend coverage to the apps the button doesn't reach:
- YouTube RSS ingestion, where it's available in your country
- Pocket Casts, Player FM and Podcast Index
- listing checks on Overcast and Castro, which rely on Apple
- JioSaavn, Gaana and Hubhopper for Indian and South Asian audiences
Search and AI Discovery
A listing is only half the job, so we also make your show findable on the open web:
- canonical episode pages on your website, with transcripts
- PodcastSeries and PodcastEpisode schema
- the RSS auto-discovery link in your site header
- episode titles that match what people actually search
This helps your show surface in Google results and AI answer engines, not only inside podcast apps.
Live-to-Episode Workflow
Live Podcasting on Spreaker: From Broadcast to Listed Episode
Live broadcasting is one of Spreaker's clearest differences from other hosts. Spreaker Studio is free on desktop, iOS and Android. It lets you go live, chat with listeners, drop in sound effects and save the broadcast as an episode.
There's a catch. A saved live recording goes out to the directories with whatever title, description and audio it had on air, so a rushed broadcast becomes a rushed listing.
We set up a live-to-episode workflow that prevents this:
01
Title and show notes are written before you go live.
02
Dead air and false starts are trimmed after the broadcast.
03
Timestamps are captured so the episode is ready for chapters.
04
The saved episode is checked against each platform's rules before it syndicates.
For weekly live shows, the same rhythm keeps you inside iHeartRadio's two-week freshness window without extra effort.
Monetization Readiness
Monetization Readiness: Ads, Prime and Supporters Club
Spreaker is one of the few hosts where monetization is built in from day one. Part of our job is making sure your distribution choices support that revenue rather than undermine it.
Ad Exchange. Spreaker inserts programmatic ads dynamically at pre-roll, mid-roll or post-roll positions you choose. For impressions served through Spreaker's own website, apps and widgets, Spreaker's help center states a 60% CPM share for creators. We place cue points so ads don't cut into sentences, and we review your content against the Ad Exchange policies before you switch ads on.
Spreaker Prime. Prime is a free hosting and monetization plan for shows with at least 5,000 monthly downloads. It comes with a team that pitches shows to advertisers and acts as a talent pool for iHeartPodcasts. We can't promise acceptance, and nobody honestly can. What we do is prepare a strong case: clean certified download data, a consistent publishing record and a concise media kit.
Supporters Club and subscriptions. Free Speech takes a 20% fee on Supporters Club income, while the paid plans take none. For a show that earns from listeners, Broadcaster can cost less than the fee it removes, and it adds Apple Podcasts Subscriptions. We run the numbers with you before recommending a plan.
Where your listeners live matters. Advertisers buy by territory. A US-heavy show and an India-heavy show can earn very different programmatic revenue from the same download count, so we tell you plainly which revenue model suits your audience.
Our Workflow
How Our Spreaker Submission Process Works
01
Free feed audit. We review your feed, artwork, metadata, existing listings, duplicates and ownership status on every major platform.
02
Plan and route decision. We confirm whether this is a new setup or a migration, which Spreaker plan fits, and which listings you must own.
03
Setup or migration. We create the show or import it, preserve GUIDs and configure redirects.
04
Compliance check. We test artwork, the music policy, content rules, episode count and episode freshness before anything is submitted.
05
Distribution and claims. We run the one-click submissions, the manual submissions and the ownership claims.
06
Verification. We confirm every listing is live, correctly titled, pointing at the right feed and free of duplicates.
07
Discovery and reporting. We build the episode pages and schema, then hand over a report listing every live URL and account owner.
Market Coverage
Spreaker Podcast Submission Services by Market
USA. iHeartRadio's home market and the strongest programmatic ad demand. Shows here gain the most from pairing iHeartRadio approval with Prime readiness.
UK. Spotify and Apple dominate, so ownership claims and clean migration matter most. We also check that British spelling in titles matches how your listeners actually search.
Canada. English and French audiences often need separate descriptions and language declarations. We set these up so each audience finds the right version of your show.
Australia. Spreaker-hosted shows can reach iHeartRadio listeners here. Consistent episode freshness keeps the listing in good standing.
Singapore. A multilingual, high-value audience. Accurate language tags and English-first metadata are the main levers.
India. Android-heavy listening means Spotify, JioSaavn, Gaana and Hubhopper carry more weight than Apple. Regional-language shows need accurate language declarations, and Supporters Club or brand partnerships often outperform programmatic ads.
Why SEOServiceinIndia
Why Podcasters Choose SEOServiceinIndia
Experience across platforms. We have mapped the submission, claim and verification routes for dozens of podcast hosts, directories and apps. That includes the dead platforms that still appear on outdated submission lists.
Search expertise. We are an SEO agency first, so your show gets discovery work (schema, transcripts, episode pages) that most submission services skip.
Straight answers. Spreaker's one-click distribution is free on every plan, including Free Speech. You're not paying us to press a button. You're paying for the setup, ownership, migration, compliance, wider distribution and discovery work that decides whether that button produces listeners.
Who this isn't for. We aren't the right fit for:
private or paywalled-only feeds you don't want public
shows with a single unfinished episode
anyone looking for guaranteed chart positions, guaranteed Prime acceptance or guaranteed ad revenue
audio editing and production work
Packages
Spreaker Podcast Submission Packages
Starter
For new podcasters launching on Spreaker. It covers:
- account and show setup
- a feed compliance check

- Apple Podcasts Connect and Spotify ownership
- a verification report
Growth
For established shows migrating or scaling. It adds:
- full migration with GUID preservation and redirects

Enterprise
For networks, brands and agencies. It adds:
- multi-show setup on Publisher or Anchorman
- collaborator and organization structure
- Prime application preparation and a media kit
- ad cue-point strategy
- regional-language distribution
- quarterly listing audits
Pricing for every package is quoted after your free feed audit, because a clean new show and a five-year catalog with duplicate listings are very different jobs.
Yes. Hosting on the Free Speech plan and one-click distribution cost nothing. Our fee covers the setup, ownership claims, migration, compliance and discovery work around that distribution.
Spreaker works as a host rather than an open directory, so shows appear there by being hosted on Spreaker. If you want the benefits of Spreaker, we migrate your feed with redirects so you keep your subscribers.
It's faster, but you won't have Apple Podcasts Connect access to your analytics and settings. For most serious shows, we recommend submitting through your own account or claiming the listing afterwards.
It varies by platform. Apple usually finishes review within about ten business days, and iHeartRadio can take a few weeks. We track every submission until it's live.
Not if the migration is done correctly. A 301 feed redirect carries your subscribers across, and we update Deezer by hand because it doesn't follow redirects.
Spreaker states a minimum of 5,000 monthly downloads per podcast. We prepare your data and media kit, but acceptance is Spreaker's decision.
The usual causes are no episode in the last two weeks, unlicensed music, or artwork and content issues. We fix the cause and resubmit.
No. No honest provider can. We guarantee correct setup, verified listings and a documented distribution footprint.
