OnPodium vs Podpage: The Episode Landing Page Your Listeners Actually See
OnPodium isn't a podcast host. We're the episode landing page layer that sits on top of whatever host you already use — Podpage included. So this isn't a hosting comparison. It's a comparison of the page a listener actually opens when they tap a link to your episode in a tweet, a newsletter, or a Google result.
Podpage is itself a website-builder layer for podcasters — it pulls your RSS feed and generates a website with one episode page per episode. The pages have a player, cover art, show notes, transcripts, and subscribe buttons. They look good. But they follow a fixed template — no chapter teasers, no deep-link timestamps, no built-in moment teasers, and limited visual customisation outside the theme system.
OnPodium turns the same episode into an immersive, branded landing page designed to convert visitors into listeners and listeners into subscribers — without changing your host.

What Podpage's Episode Page Gives You
Podpage's default episode page is a clean, theme-driven layout. You get a hero image, the player, your formatted show notes, optional transcripts, related episodes, and a subscribe row. For a no-code website it's genuinely good — way better than the page most hosts ship by default.
What it doesn't do is reimagine the page itself. There are no AI-generated moment teasers, no deep-link “play from this second” sharing, and limited control over the bento-style layout that turns the page into a real landing page. It's still a templated podcast website, just a nice one.
What an OnPodium Episode Landing Page Adds
OnPodium reads the same RSS feed Podpage publishes and renders each episode as a bento-grid landing page. The audio player is still front-and-centre, but it shares the page with five AI-generated moment teasers: short, scrollable cards that play the episode from a specific second when tapped. Each teaser is also a deep link, so you can share your-show.com/episode/...#t=492 on social and listeners land directly on the moment.
Below the player you get an expandable show-notes section, a "Next Episode" tile to keep autoplay going, an "All Episodes" link back to your show home, and proper PodcastEpisode JSON-LD plus Open Graph and Twitter card metadata so your link previews look like a magazine article instead of a directory listing.
It runs on your custom domain, in your colors, with your art — and a subtle "Powered by OnPodium" tag in the footer that you can hide on paid plans.
You Don't Have to Leave Podpage
OnPodium isn't asking you to migrate. Already use Podpage? Use OnPodium alongside it for the episode pages where you want the moment teasers, deep-link sharing, and bento layout. Or replace Podpage entirely — OnPodium covers the website-builder layer and adds the modern episode landing page on top.
From then on, when you share an episode link, you share the OnPodium URL. Your listeners get the upgraded page; your show stays on Podpage.
Keep Podpage. Upgrade the Page.
Connect your Podpage RSS in under a minute and get an immersive, deep-linkable landing page for every episode.
Try OnPodium freeWhen Podpage's Page Is Enough
If you're still finding your format, post infrequently, and mostly send listeners to Apple or Spotify rather than to a web page, the default Podpage episode page does the job. There's no reason to add another tool to your stack.
When OnPodium Pays for Itself
If you're actively marketing episodes — embedding them in newsletters, sharing pull-quotes on social, running ads to a specific episode, or pitching guests with a link to their episode — the page itself becomes a conversion surface. Timestamped teasers, deep-link sharing, branded design, and email capture all turn into measurably more plays per visitor.
The Bottom Line
Podpage is a fine podcast host. For what it costs, the default episode page does what it needs to.
OnPodium is built specifically to be the page you send traffic to. Same episode, same audio, same RSS — but a landing page designed to grow your show. Use both.
