Convia does not host your show, does not publish your RSS feed, and does not submit you to Apple or Spotify. Whatever host you use today, you keep. Nothing about your hosting changes.
What Convia does is everything after the episode exists: turning it into a campaign across eight social platforms, publishing it, and telling you what worked.
Because Convia reads your episodes from your public feed, it works with any podcast host.
What your host does that Convia does not
- Stores and serves your audio and video files
- Publishes and maintains your RSS feed
- Submits and distributes to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other podcast apps
- Reports downloads, listens and listener demographics
- Handles podcast monetisation and dynamic ad insertion
None of this is on the Convia roadmap. Podcast hosting is a real infrastructure business and your host is better at it than we would be.

Convia reads any public podcast feed, so every host below already works. What it does not do is publish back to your host, and that is what a request here is for.

Hosts that have added social features
Several hosts have added AI content generation and social posting. Buzzsprout and Ausha have gone furthest.
This is worth being straightforward about: if your host generates social posts and schedules them to a few platforms, part of what Convia does is already in your hosting bill. The difference is platform breadth, campaigns planned across an episode, and one performance picture covering the platforms Convia collects from, which the Professional plan includes.
Whether that difference is worth a second subscription depends on whether social publishing is a nice-to-have or the thing your business runs on. For a hobbyist show, the built-in features are the right answer. For a founder whose pipeline comes from LinkedIn, a scheduler bundled into hosting is not the same product.
