Top Rated Captivate Alternatives
I moved my podcasts to Captivate because it offered hosting for multiple podcasts plus complete stats for one price. My previous host would charge extra for each podcast and for detailed stats. Since I've been a client, they've added a ton of value, such as the ability to schedule guests, to create a podcast network, and to insert ads dynamically... all for the same price.

There honestly isn't anything I dislike. Captivate meets all my current needs. It provides an excellent service at a reasonable price and offers training to become a better podcaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Captivate is very easy to use. I knew absolutely nothing about podcast distribution but it did not take long to figure it all out. It is very important to fill out everything (contact info, categories, about section, social links etc) for best result which might take a bit take a little time to set it all up, but it's worth the one time effort. Also, the analytics are useful to understand your audience better and know what's working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much I can say - something small is that it is slightly annoying is that the episode artwork needs to be a very specific size, it will not automatically compress an image that is a bit large, so it adds an extra step for when uploading each episode.

The pricing is simple and extremely fair for the many features Captivate.FM provides. UNLIMITED STORAGE and podcasts on all plans, plus unlimited team members with custom roles.
The service also allows you to push your podcast to many platforms. I love this service and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to start a podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customization for Captivate Sites is limited and analytics cannot be exported currently, but seriously everything else is worth it. I would like those features improved upon in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's just so easy to use. The way the numbers are broken down and even the colors and graphics - the whole scheme of the platform - is just very easy to digest and work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don't dislike anything... I haven't had any problems. I think it might be nice if there was also a place to see what the payout will be after taxes but this isn't the worst thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
