Castos Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

Cost, I wish it was cheaper. But I do understand that you get what you pay for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so simple to make changes and the functionlality is really great and sets it apart from others in the market. I found it so easy to publish podcasts. The customer support is first class and very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like it to be easier with helping promoting and finding ways to improve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is so intuitive and easy to learn. My VA did not have trouble poking around and learning everything in less than 2 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now I cannot think of anything. Maybe the integration took a bit of time (I think 2 days?) but my VA had no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently switched over to Castos and have been loving it so far. The interface is modern and easy to navigate and their customer service is very responsive. I also love that they are one of the very few platforms that host video podcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the analytics were a little more advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm really enjoying castos at the moment, I love that you can have multiple podcasts and it's easy to share, however I do with it had automatic sharing of podcasts for Apple and Google because there was a slight learning curve for adding the podcast to those platforms and now I have loads of random accounts. Also it's very easy to monetise! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it was slightly easier up get podcasts on every platform, possible like a 'single click' thing. It's not the end of the world but it is somewhat of a pain having so many accounts for other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
