🎙️Podcast ToolsAbout Castos
Castos is built specifically for WordPress users — the plugin integration means you manage your podcast directly from your WordPress dashboard. All plans include unlimited storage and downloads, which is rare. Private podcast feeds for paid content integrate with MemberPress and other membership plugins. Castos Repurpose automatically creates transcripts, YouTube videos, and social clips from podcast episodes. Pricing starts at $19/month.
