Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Alitu
Turns a raw recording into a finished episode
Alitu is podcast production for people who do not want to learn an audio editor. Drop a recording in and it levels the sound, adds the music you picked once, joins the segments and publishes to the hosts you already use. The editing it offers is text-based rather than waveform-based, which is the part that saves the hours. What it will not do is give you fine control over a mix, and that trade is the whole product.
Our note
The trade here is real and worth stating plainly: you are buying back the evenings and giving up fine control of the mix. If you already know a digital audio workstation, this is not for you.

Blubrry
Hosting that lives inside your WordPress site
Blubrry is podcast hosting for people who already run a WordPress site and want the show to live on it rather than on somebody else's domain. The PowerPress plugin publishes episodes from the same admin that runs the blog, so the archive earns search traffic under your own name. Statistics are IAB certified and sold separately from hosting, which is worth knowing if you only need one of the two. Plans are set by monthly upload allowance.
