Procreate vs. Spotify for Podcasters

Procreate is well-suited for any illustrator, whether they're a beginner or an expert. It offers a vast range of features that will allow anyone with an artistic inclination to start creating right away. It's also appropriate for budding designers, artists, and animators. While the animation options offered aren't super premium, it is a good place to start learning about animating in layers, e.g., in Photoshop. Procreate isn't suitable for people who want to illustrate vector-based images. The app currently only supports raster images that can't be scaled up.

Anchor is great for getting started with podcasting. It makes getting started in the space really accessible to anyone with a smartphone. It seems to work great for individuals and small businesses. There are probably better options for more established brands out there, as Anchor does limit some of your options, but for those getting started or those that don't have needs beyond Anchor's limitations, I would highly recommend it over the competition.

• The editor has a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of adding effects, modifying the sound, etc.
• It would be useful to have A/B testing for cover art, similar to what YouTube offers.
• I miss a clear system for content positioning through keywords.
• It would be great if they added a cleaner way to highlight links, for example, to the website, a lead magnet, etc. The current links are hidden in the episode descriptions.
• El editor tiene mucho margen de mejora, especialmente en cuanto a añadir efectos, modificar el sonido, etc.
• Sería útil tener pruebas A/B para las portadas, igual que ofrece Youtube
• Echo de menos un sistema claro de posicionamiento de contenidos a través de palabras clave
• Sería interesante que añadan una forma más limpia de destacar los enlaces, por ejemplo hacia la web, un lead magnet, etc. Los enlaces actuales quedan invisibilizados en la descripción de los episodios.

Lots of features - largely intuitive, but can take some practice and getting used to.

It's intuitive from the moment you log in until you publish. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because some sections aren't translated into Spanish, and while it's not a problem for me, it's something that could be improved. Furthermore, the design is very clean and doesn't feel overwhelming with options. Everything is where it should be, and the process for publishing episodes is clear. Es intuitivo desde el momento que entras hasta que publicas. Si no le pongo un 10 es porque hay ciertas secciones que no aparecen traducidas al español, y aunque no me supone un problema, es algo mejorable. Además, el diseño es muy limpio y no da sensación de "saturación" de opciones. Todo está donde debe estar y el proceso para publicar los episodios es claro.

We broadly use the Adobe suite for other applications, so as Adobe tools have advanced, it is difficult to have an outlier in the toolkit, but Procreate still offers a lot of ease of use and competes with more formal Illustrator tools. We use Illustrator a lot for general design work once they pass initial concepting.

We selected Anchor because of the known branding with Spotify and the built-in audience. It was also one of the first search results when trying to learn about producing a podcast, which made it easy to find and get started. We don't even need to use GarageBand to capture audio with the Anchor app and other resources for getting podcast content ready to go.
