Overview
Acast is a podcast company that combines hosting with an advertising marketplace and sponsorship tools. Its free Starter plan includes one show and five episodes, with unlimited episodes when the show is made available in Acast’s advertising marketplace.[8]
Essential costs US$25 a month on monthly billing or US$14.99 a month on annual billing, adding multiple shows, unlimited episodes and monetisation with ads and sponsorships. Pro costs US$40 or US$29.99 and adds team management, prioritised support and a publishing API. Video costs US$50 or US$39.99 and publishes video episodes to Apple Podcasts, with automatic video-to-audio conversion and up to 10,000 video views a month. The Acast Creator Network is available by application.[8]
Acast suits shows aiming for advertising income. The pricing page does not state revenue-share terms, and the free plan is limited unless the show joins the ad marketplace.[8]
