## What the models said about AudioGo

- "a $250 campaign is more of a test and not scalable... only supports pre-produced audio" (Mistral Small, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "AudioGo is the safest recommendation from the search results because it combines a low entry point with broad access and simple self-serve setup" (Perplexity Sonar, budget prompt, first choice)
- "All-in-One Audio Network | AudioGO, Triton, AdsWizz | You want to cast a wide net across hundreds of smaller podcasts" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, scale prompt, first choice)
- "I'd suggest starting with Acast or AudioGo — both offer low entry points ($250), self-serve flexibility, and strong targeting" (Kimi K2, direct prompt, first choice)

## What the models said about Libsyn Ads

- "Drawbacks: Limited to specific genres and audiences; low scalability for general consumer brands." (Muse Glimmer 30B, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "Cheaper CPM (~$12-26), but bigger min." (Grok 4.1 Fast, budget prompt, soft negative)
- "For better alternatives, consider platforms like Podbean or Libsyn Ads, which tend to offer more favorable terms for creators." (Claude Haiku 4.5, negative prompt, first choice)
- "Libsyn Ads (70/30 split, $24-26 CPM, transparent) | Published rates, IAB-aligned, established track record" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, negative prompt, first choice)
- "Safer alternatives: Libsyn Ads (transparent 70/30 splits for mid-tier shows)" (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt, first choice)
