What do you like best about Castr?

Castr has been a game-changer for our church's online presence. As a pastor, finding an easy and effective way to stream our services was a priority, and Castr has exceeded our expectations. The ability to simultaneously stream to both Facebook and YouTube has made it incredibly convenient to reach our congregation and extend our ministry beyond the walls of the church. The platform is user-friendly and reliable, ensuring a smooth broadcasting experience with minimal effort. If you're looking for a solution to enhance your church's digital outreach, Castr is an excellent choice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

There’s honestly nothing we dislike about Castr. It delivers exactly what we need—a seamless, reliable platform to broadcast our church services to multiple social media channels. The setup is straightforward, the streaming quality is excellent, and it has helped us engage with our congregation in real-time without any technical hassles. Castr truly simplifies the process and does everything we hoped for in a streaming solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is having support around to help with technical questions.

It's easy to set up because of that. And there's a bunch of helpful options at reasonable prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it weren't so expensive to have a fallback stream if reception goes out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Castr?

I really like the functionality, and ease of use. Once you get the basics down, it's smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

So far, the only thing I don't like is having to manually send emails to each pay per stream client. I was thinking when I put all the emails in, it could send the password automatically to each person. But, no biggie...still love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Castr made me switch from Vimeo"
5/5
What do you like best about Castr?

Castr servers our livestreaming needs perfectly. We opted for the plan giving us 24 TB of traffinc without the limitations of a monthly cap. This is important because our business is seasonal with high traffic months in spring and fall.

Before switching we looked deep into the functions offered, tested extensively and chatted with the customer service with questions. We evend had a one-on-one video-call with the Castr team, a service a have not seen anyehwere in the entire industry. Implementing a new live stream was easy. As is tghe dayly use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Castr?

I opted for a professinal plan which unfortunately missses some basic features I frequently use, such as replacing a video after modification while keeping the URL. The socalled dynamic player is nice for a repetitive stream, but cannot compensate for this missing feature. Also the adaptive bitrate function can only be applied to one project at a time, which is not practical. I can work around this limitation by deactivating in project A and activating in project B, since we do not have consurrent streams yet. However this is somehow a hassle. Hope to see this in my plan in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
