What is Castos?

Castos is a podcast host built around WordPress, using the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin to publish episodes from a WordPress site. It also offers private podcasting, transcription credits, YouTube republishing, and Castos Ads for one-click monetization.

What's the difference between Castos' plans?

Essentials ($19/mo) covers unlimited podcasts, episodes, and downloads with 1 team member, 10 transcription credits a month, and up to 100 private subscribers. Growth ($49/mo) adds 5 team members, 25 credits, 250 private subscribers, and YouTube republishing. Pro ($99/mo) adds native video hosting, 10 team members, 100 credits, and 500 private subscribers, and Premium ($499/mo) removes the team and transcription limits and adds SSO.

Is Castos worth it?

It is the strongest option for podcasters who run a WordPress site, since the plugin integration is its main advantage, and downloads are unlimited on every plan. The limits worth checking are the absence of a free tier, private subscriber caps per plan, and native video hosting only on Pro and above. A 14-day trial runs without a credit card.
