Spotify for Creators (accessible at podcasters.spotify.com) is Spotify’s free podcast platform that gives creators everything they need to launch, manage, and grow both audio and video shows. It offers unlimited storage, one-click distribution to all major listening platforms via RSS, native video podcast hosting, detailed analytics, and audience engagement tools \u2014 all at no monthly cost. Whether you’re hosting directly on the platform or connecting an existing RSS feed, the dashboard lets you track performance, respond to fan comments, run polls, and customise your show page.<\/p>\n
Monetisation is a standout feature: eligible creators can join the Spotify Partner Program, which provides ad revenue sharing (50\/50 split) and Premium video revenue for video podcast content watched by Spotify Premium subscribers. Paid listener subscriptions, Spotify Open Access integrations with Patreon and Supporting Cast, and dynamic ad insertion are also available for qualifying shows. As of January 2026, the Partner Program thresholds were reduced by 80%, requiring just 1,000 engaged listeners, 2,000 consumed hours, and 3 published episodes.<\/p>\n
The platform recently rebranded from ‘Spotify for Podcasters’ to ‘Spotify for Creators’ in November 2024, signalling a major push toward video-first podcasting. New features include short-form podcast clips for in-app discovery, a Following Feed, custom video thumbnails, improved impression analytics, and a Distribution API allowing creators hosted on Acast, Audioboom, Libsyn, Omny, and Podigee to monetise video on Spotify without switching hosts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
