Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Castmagic

  • Free plan limited to 3 files per month
  • Pricing based on audio hours consumed
  • Not a full podcast hosting solution

Customer.io

  • Essentials plan caps at 5,000 profiles (people and objects) and 1,000,000 monthly emails, with overages billed at $0.12 per 1,000 emails beyond that
  • Standard and Premium tiers show custom pricing only, and Enterprise is negotiated rate, so three of the four published tiers require a sales conversation
  • Monthly plans accept credit card only; annual billing via invoice (ACH/wire) requires the annual commitment
