Castos Reviews & Product Details

Customer support. I had some issues getting it up and running because I'm not a website coder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had to pay for a plan in order to get the amazing customer support. For a hobbyist podcast production of 1 per month, it's overkill, but now that it's up and running I can forget about it. Wish it would interface with fountain.fm

Whish the video would upload automatically along with the transcript file (maybe it does that on premium plan tho) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.
