What they are

Captivate

Captivate is a podcast hosting platform aimed at independent podcasters and small networks who want distribution, analytics, and monetization tools in one place. It handles unlimited podcasts and team members on every plan, which is unusual at this price point. The analytics go deeper than most entry-level hosts, but the platform has no free tier, so beginners testing the waters will need to commit from day one.

Castmagic

Upload audio or video and Castmagic generates transcripts, show notes, social posts, blog drafts, and clips automatically. Built specifically for podcasters who want to repurpose episodes into content.
