What is CoHost
CoHost is a podcast hosting and analytics platform built specifically for brands, agencies, and professional podcasters who need more than just a place to upload files. Created by Quill, an award-winning podcast agency, CoHost was born out of frustration with disjointed, marketer-unfriendly tools — giving users a single platform to publish, distribute, and deeply analyze their shows. It offers one-click distribution to all major listening apps including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music, alongside collaborative team management and a streamlined, intuitive CMS.
What sets CoHost apart is its advanced analytics suite. Beyond standard download counts, CoHost surfaces Advanced Audience Demographics (age, income, lifestyle, hobbies, social media habits) and industry-leading B2B Analytics that reveal which companies, industries, and job roles are tuning in — crucial data for brands looking to validate ROI and justify continued investment in audio. The platform is IAB v2.2 certified for Download and Listener measurement, ensuring data integrity.
CoHost also offers an Analytics Prefix, which lets podcasters plug CoHost’s powerful analytics layer on top of any existing hosting platform without migrating. Additional tools include AI-powered automatic transcriptions, customizable podcast websites, tracking links for marketing attribution, video podcast hosting with short-form clip generation, and exportable, leadership-ready reports. A 7-day free trial is available, with plans catering from individual podcasters to large agencies managing multiple shows.

What makes CoHost unique
CoHost's standout differentiator is its B2B Analytics feature, which uncovers which companies, industries, job roles, and seniority levels are tuning into a podcast — data that no standard hosting platform provides. Combined with Advanced Audience Demographics (lifestyle, income, hobbies, social habits) and its Analytics Prefix (which works on top of any existing hosting platform), CoHost is the only solution that lets brands directly link podcast performance to pipeline, leads, and business ROI. Built by a real podcast agency (Quill), it was purpose-designed for marketers rather than adapted from a generic file-hosting product.
