Applied Rater vs. Podbean

Quoting or ballparking an HO3 risk can be done very quickly with minimal input and the system has an excellent system for quote presentations and unsold quote follow up reminder.

Podbean is the best podcast hosting service I have seen so far outside of hosting your own podcast server. It has many tools built in that make hosting and sharing your podcast simple. If you are technically minded, there is good software based on WordPress to create a cheap solution for hosting multiple podcasts, but you don't get as many features and you have to do all the work yourself. If you want a solution to quickly and easily get a podcast off the ground and out into the world without having to worry about lots of technical issues, then Podbean is a good way to go.

Applied Rater is a much quicker process than QuoteRush or Ezlynx because of how they request the initial info. It's neatly organized. QuoteRush tends to have much more accurate quote but it is very time consuming. Ezlynx's rater is very time consuming and does not support many homeowner carriers so they are not much of an option for homeowner quoting so Applied Rater beats them out easily

For a personal podcast, I host on WordPress with a plugin called Seriously Simple Podcasting. This solution is a bare bones solution, good if you know how to manage a WordPress website and are able to submit your podcasts manually to different apps and services. If you can afford Podbean I would suggest using it because the WordPress route takes a lot more time and technical knowledge. Podbean takes so much of the hassle and work away from the process.
