The Apache-2.0 podcast manager is free to self-host. You provide server resources, storage and internet access. Published Podcasting 2.0 transcripts can be indexed; generating missing transcripts requires an OpenAI-compatible Whisper service whose compute or API fees are separate. It follows your authorized RSS feeds and does not unlock paid podcast episodes or Spotify Premium. Pocket Casts itself also has a free plan; this comparison concerns managing your own podcast storage and transcript workflow.

AudiobookshelfProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteAn audiobook and podcast library on your own server.
The open-source server and web client are free to self-host. Supply your own audiobook files and podcast feeds; storage, a server and network access can cost extra. Audiobookshelf does not include Audible, Spotify or Netflix subscription catalogs. The official mobile apps are in beta, and the iOS beta is currently full; the browser client remains available.
MopidyProduct logo · See the interface on the official websiteAn extensible music server for a computer or Raspberry Pi.
The Apache-licensed core is free and plays local audio files and internet radio. It runs on a computer with audio output and uses a web client or an optional MPD extension for control; hardware, storage and third-party client costs are separate. It includes no Spotify, Audible or Netflix subscription catalog. Service extensions have separate requirements: Mopidy-Spotify requires Spotify Premium and its current README warns that third-party access-token streaming has been disabled, so do not rely on it as free or guaranteed Spotify playback.
