Castos plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Podcaster | $13/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $29/month | 4 | +$16/month, 4 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

$13/monthThe entry tier. It covers unlimited hosting, automatic distribution, basic analytics, wordpress plugin.
Professional
$29/monthOver Podcaster, this tier adds:
- All Podcaster features
- Advanced analytics

People bring Castos in for podcast hosting with unlimited episodes and downloads, private and subscriber-only podcasts, automatic transcription of episodes, republishing episodes to youtube, wordpress-integrated podcast publishing. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Castos are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Castos
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $13/month and $29/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Castos against the tools that do have one before committing.
Castos runs on web, wordpress, and is published by Castos Inc of Portland, OR. The full record is on the Castos review.
Castos pricing questions

- Professional costs $29/month against $13/month, and adds all podcaster features, advanced analytics, email marketing, premium support.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all podcaster features, advanced analytics, email marketing, premium support. It costs $29/month against $13/month for Podcaster. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

- The record lists 13 features across 4 areas: core, integrations, security, platform. In practice it is brought in for podcast hosting with unlimited episodes and downloads, private and subscriber-only podcasts, automatic transcription of episodes.
- Does Castos charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Castos prices current?
