Castos Pricing Overview

For creating our new podcast, we carefully evaluated a few service providers. The seamless integration of Castos was the winner. The fact that they provide tools for all our needs, from hosting our audio to providing transcripts, while we continue using wordpress and their plugins for our site, was the reason we think Castos is best. Pricing is competitive, service outstanding. They ask the users how they can be of service. If it's the other way around and i need help, they respond quickly.

Why is this field required, i really don't know downsides.

We needed something both easy and powerfull. Castos is that.

Very user-friendly website, with helpful guides to help guide you through each step of the way. Includes a trial period, with an affordable subscription available beyond that point.

Having used Castos for only a couple of months so far, I am yet to come across any downsides! Guess this is another reason why I strongly recommend this hosting platform.

Helped me to launch a podcast and then distribute it - all with ease, minimal time and cost. Has enabled me to continue this side hustle while also holding down a full-time job.

The price is excellent. Plug-in interaction is fantastic. Fast customer support. I can have several podcasts for one price. Wonderfull YouTube tutorials.

I have a few setup issues, but I am pretty sure it is my bad! I currently have a support ticket submitted and feel sure all will be resolved soon.

With Castos, I get a hosting solution, a word press plugin, excellent customer support, and I can have several podcast series under one parent podcast.

First of all, Castos has the best pricing model, with nearly everything being unlimited. Beyond that, Castos is easy to use ESPECIALLY if you're hosting your podcast on Wordpress. Castos has everything a podcaster needs from hosting to editing services, private subscribers to advanced analytics. It's really the best choice out there.

I wish I could add another podcast on another domain to my account so everything could be managed from one login. Would also like role-based Wordpress permissions on the plugin.

I've tried a lot of podcast hosting services, Castos allows me to run my podcast from Wordpress without having to copy and paste anything. It also gives me the ability to run a podcast network from a single account.

I like the ease of use. It is very easy to navigate so I can get things done in a time-efficient manner. I can go directly to one of my podcasts and edit on an as-needed basis without any grief or aggravation. Editing support content is relatively easy and painless. Castos allows you to import content from a WordPress post which certainly expedites the process. You can add backlinks to your text-based content which is always a good thing. I like the company. They are very easy to work with and have very fair billing rates. As long as you list the other platforms with the appropriate URLs, Castos automatically exports your podcast. Having my podcasts automatically exported to Itunes and Google is a very nice feature.

I wish they had some high-end audio editing tools and I would like to see Castos have more relationships with related vendors but I have to think that's coming at some point.

Distributing my audio content in a cost-effective, time-effective manner. Increased exposure to people who did not even know my store existed until they heard my podcasts.

I like how easy Castos is to use and get started. I had my podcast up and running in an afternoon. Their technical documentation makes it simple to get your show onto many different platforms, and you can even use Castos to host a basic podcast website. They also offer a quick copy for embed code to share your podcast on your own website.

The main weakness of Castos seems to be its analytics. Nearly all my listens come from generic web browsers, but my website analytics show that not many people are listening directly from the website, so I'm not sure where those listens are occurring. Additionally, you can't see how many unique listeners (e.g. repeat downloaders) vs new listeners you're getting, and you can't track listeners through episodes. A friend using BuzzSprout gets these kinds of data so I know it's possible from a podcast host.

I've got my podcast up and running, and can easily release my weekly episodes without much difficulty. I also enjoy the resources shared by Castos in their newsletter and blog.
