"Effortless Monetization with One-Click Distribution"
What do you like best about Castos?

I appreciate the easy monetization of podcasts through Castos, which allows me to make money right away. I find the setup process to be extremely easy, which facilitates my initial use a lot. The one-click distribution to every platform is particularly beneficial, saving me time and effort by simplifying the process and expanding my reach effortlessly. These features make me want to continue with Castos, underscoring the platform’s value in addressing podcast distribution and monetization needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use Podcast Hosting with Great Support"
What do you like best about Castos?

Castos is easy to use and makes uploading and sharing podcast episodes simple. I really like how it works with WordPress using their plugin. The stats are clear and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castos?

I wish there was a way to copy over previous podcast analytics when you migrate from a different host. Not a big deal but would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you need an easy to integrate solution for podcasting, Castos is your thing."
What do you like best about Castos?

I'm an avid WordPress user, having used it for 17+ years. As someone who needs to retain control over my web environment, whilst also needing a simple and effective way of integrating a podcasting solution at a low cost point, Castos is my thing.

Integrating Castos and Wordpress is a 5 minute job. You can add episodes in Wordpress and have it automatically synced with your Castos account, and to all the podcast services you sign up to. The process of sending your podcast to third party apps is a breeze, and they seem to update within an hour of uploading a new podcast.

All the metadata you need for your podcast (length, recording date and size) are automatically added by Castos, saving you more time and effort. There's no need to constantly reload pages to get they synced / changed edition, it's all added on their end instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castos?

It would be useful to have transcriptions fed back directly into Wordpress, rather than having to log into the Castos interface to download.

It would also be useful to update share links to include BlueSky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Customer Service"
What do you like best about Castos?

As a podcaster, I've been a Castos customer for four years and have nothing but good things to say about the company. My shows upload quickly, and the customer service is especially great - on the rare occasion that I've needed support, staff responds personally to submitted technical inquiries in a timely fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castos?

Integration with WordPress is good, but uploads are slower when using that platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Almost everything you need for podcasting"
What do you like best about Castos?

When I was about to start podcasting, I quickly realised that hosting my episodes on my website is simply not a good idea. Found Castos farily quickly and chose it instantly - it's affordable, easy to use, and doesn't give me any headache - what else could you want from a podcast hosting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castos?

I have 0 complains. Perhaps a suggestion is to offer a common subscription for Castos users who also want to use Riverside. It's just going to make life easier in the light of everything now becoming a subscription... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
