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.

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.

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.

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.

Ease of use and easy to monitize with ads and donations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike so far. Support is really fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We absolutely love the clear and simple interface, huge number of options, and help tools. They also manage to publish one of the only newsletters we didn't immediately unsubscribe from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks direct integration with Spotify for paid podcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. They have exceeded expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We came to Castos for the Wordpress integration, there is nothing else out there that is as easy to integrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very difficult to find anything to dislike. It's so simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up and use. Great implementation with Riverside. Brilliant resource and help videos, plus quick responses to queries on chat and email. Unlimited episodes and downloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited team members on the Essentials plan which is a shame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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

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.

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.
