"Captivate"
What do you like best about Captivate?

It reliably develops the stage, adding elements to help you develop and advance your webcast. I love the embeddable digital broadcast player and the hyperlinkable* timestamps. Likewise, the AMIE promotion manager is by all accounts exceptionally encouraging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

The main hindrance with Captivate is that there is no free arrangement to begin with. It's an obstruction of section for some yet the worth will be worth the effort as I would like to think since there is no restriction to facilitating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the annual subscription charges could be a little low or the trial period so be extended so as to understand the software and also explore the same so as to decide about subscription Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for those just starting out in the world of podcasting!"
What do you like best about Captivate?

Captivate was super easy to use and learn. I had never started a podcast before and Captivate made it such a smooth process when it comes to hosting, advertising, and tracking analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

I don't have too many complaints, really. It could be how my organization set up the account, but I had an issue with the number of 'seats' we had and who could log into the account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Captivate is a great podcast host that's great for growth oriented podcasters and podcast networks."
What do you like best about Captivate?

Captivate consistently innovates the platform, adding features to help you grow and promote your podcast. I love the embeddable podcast player and the hyperlinkable* timestamps. Also, the AMIE ad editor seems to be very promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

The only disadvantage with Captivate is that there is no free plan to start with. It's a barrier of entry for some but the value is worth it in my opinion since there is no limit to hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly Platform, Great Customer Service"
What do you like best about Captivate?

Captivate is very easy to use. I knew absolutely nothing about podcast distribution but it did not take long to figure it all out. It is very important to fill out everything (contact info, categories, about section, social links etc) for best result which might take a bit take a little time to set it all up, but it's worth the one time effort. Also, the analytics are useful to understand your audience better and know what's working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

There isn't much I can say - something small is that it is slightly annoying is that the episode artwork needs to be a very specific size, it will not automatically compress an image that is a bit large, so it adds an extra step for when uploading each episode.

"Always innovating. A ton of value for the price."
What do you like best about Captivate?

I moved my podcasts to Captivate because it offered hosting for multiple podcasts plus complete stats for one price. My previous host would charge extra for each podcast and for detailed stats. Since I've been a client, they've added a ton of value, such as the ability to schedule guests, to create a podcast network, and to insert ads dynamically... all for the same price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

There honestly isn't anything I dislike. Captivate meets all my current needs. It provides an excellent service at a reasonable price and offers training to become a better podcaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for New or Small Businesses!"
What do you like best about Captivate?

The pricing is simple and extremely fair for the many features Captivate.FM provides. UNLIMITED STORAGE and podcasts on all plans, plus unlimited team members with custom roles.

The service also allows you to push your podcast to many platforms. I love this service and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to start a podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Captivate?

Customization for Captivate Sites is limited and analytics cannot be exported currently, but seriously everything else is worth it. I would like those features improved upon in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
