Leave me alone

I signed up, but the emails were irritating and irrelevant to me.
It then took my precious time to unsubscribe from the buggers!
3 times, failed.
I had to get in touch with the support team and cancel my account to stop them from emailing me.
I can get (and make) podcasts elsewhere, thank you 🤬😤

fast, helpful, live customer service

So refreshing to deal with a live customer service rep who understood my questions and responded quickly to resolve my issues. Thank you. So glad I made the switch to podbean.

More than just a service

Fast to respond, clear and friendly narrative, and quick to check in on whether the advice actually helped solve the problem. What truly stood out, though, was their willingness to go the extra mile, nothing felt rushed or transactional. I genuinely felt seen, supported, and valued as a client.

Poor customer service with bad business practice

I signed up only because my instructors were supposed to host a podcast here, but it never worked. When I went to cancel, I was denied a refund for being one day past the free trial. Leslie in customer support and Melody in billing were completely unhelpful, offering no flexibility or real solution. I ended up paying for something I couldn’t even use. This kind of rigid, customer unfriendly approach speaks volumes. I’d avoid this service, there are far better companies to support that offer better solutions when things don’t go as expected.

Update Dec 2nd: I reached out to podbean customer service and unfortunately there response was a front to seem supportive, but it has been found to lack intent. Not good customer service by any means.

I had a question about something I could not for the life of me figure out so I asked Podbean and received an answer the same day with simple instructions and it worked. It was nice to get an answer efficiently and quickly from a big company. I Love it!
