Castos is the easiest and less complicated tool in the market. Without clutter, you can go ahead and make your mark as a podcaster using Castos!
Nothing much I dislike, but they should work on enhancing community-building features.
I am achieving the fastest way to get started publishing podcasts. Time is the most valuable thing, and Castos's user experience they have built keeps this at the top of all.
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.
Crear la Web de manera sencilla y permite usarlo como tu podcast.
Desearía que tuvieran traducido al Español la Web por lo menos. Así es más sencillo para los oyentes. También tener una app propia del podcastos sería ideal para mis clientes.
No tener una radio online al ser má sencillo el sistema podcast y poder escuchar la programación cunado uno quiera.
I liked the guidance in setting up my podcast online with Castos. They did an excellent job in making sure setup was completed accurately.
There was nothing to dislike about Castos.
A place to host my podcasts and disburse to several major players like Spotify.
Destacaría de Castos sobretodo el soporte técnico. Las persona que se encarga del soporte además habla español y esto siempre es muy útil. También destacaría los tutoriales para la distribución de los podcast en plataformas y lo sencilla y amigable que es la página y el proceso de publicación.
Nada reseñalble. En general no hay nada que no me guste.
Sobre toda la sencillez de publicar podcast y distribuirlos por tu cuenta.
La velocidad de sincronización entre el plugin serious simply podcasting y el hosting web. También el panel de control en la web es muy cómodo y dice lo necesario.
Pocas integraciones con otros servicios. También agradecería un reproductor de podcasts web en vez de tener que descargar la aplicación para escuchar los episodios.
Montar un podcast privado que se pueda escuchar en otros podcatchers y que cuente con una automatización para dar de alta o de baja a los miembros de una membresía en wordpress.
The easy to use integration with our WordPress website
The added set-up service and the support are lacking. I had no smooth transition, but it seems the support team is improving their game.
Easy way of premium podcast hosting
It seems pretty reliable. I've never had any complaints from listeners.
I set it up a few years ago, but at the time organizing the order of episodes was difficult.
I needed a means to deliver an audio book to listeners, but I wanted it to be completely free to them. This allowed me to do that.
Very simple to use, very straightforward. It lets you get the job done quickly and easily. Not having to pay multiple times for multiple podcasts is a huge plus!
Some minor bugs on the backend and analytics.. eg. Analytics will group together video and audio podcast versions if they are identically named.
Easy and quick to use. Does the job effectively.
