SquadCast Pros and Cons

It used to be good. Not anymore.

I have used it a few years ago and came back to this after tring riverside.fm

But i regret now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I purchased the pro version of the tool for today’s podcast.

My experience with the tool is the worst in recent times.

1. The website did not work (either it did not respond to touch on ipad or too slow to open).

2.When started recording, microphone have too much background white noise (only when i use the recording). When the recording is closed, it is not the case.

3. Video did not appear for a long time even after recording.

4. Tried with Mac as my ipad may have issues with internet or permissions. But faced the same issue with the Mac as well.

5. tried to file a complain in the help section. But it did not allowed me to write more than a few words. Worst tool. Only let to lose the time of you and your guest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Pricing- SquadCast is really at the higher end, especially if you or your business has a limited budget for podcasting tools, you might really rethink this and look for an alternative, which there are certainly plenty of them to check out and pick one significantly cheaper, possibly even free, but not as convenient or the same audio quality.

2. Resource intensive- users with less powerful hardware may experience performance issues.

3. Connectivity issues- SquadCast is dependent on an internet connection. Users with slow internet will encounter issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great how the mic can be turned off if you begin to experience loud noises in the background. It does not require any training to use the dashboard. They have six main features with one being integrations & APIs. The integrations are very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They really need to improve their support service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I help produce a podcast, and nearly every interview is virtual. The host doesn't have a studio where people come to record, and as many of the guests live in different countries around the world, we have to record virtually.

With Zoom recordings, it was nearly impossible to mix the podcasts properly, as the audio came out in one file and there were often connection issues.

Squadcast records high-quality video and audio for each participant on their end, making it very easy to mix podcasts, publish them, and take high-quality video clips to make social media videos.

This has made podcasting so much easier compared to recording Zoom calls and taking the audio from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every so often, the app will glitch or freeze when trying to intiate a call. There were a few times where we had minor issues getting the recording started with new guests and having them join the call, but it never interefered with the actual recording once things got started.

There are shortcoming in all recording or podcasting software, but I find that sometimes it's difficult to get the exact settings correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how intuitive Squadcast is. It's very easy to start and stop sessions, and I've heard it's easy to edit the pdocasts too. I also like that it records each speaker separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately, SquadCast has been malfunctioning, and the speaker and I have both been hearing echos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squadcast is a very simple way to record and share a link to the recording for guests. I have been a guest on several podcasts recorded with Squadcast and it was so simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike. I would say that this is a way better option than using a zoom link or many of the other common options that we podcasters use to record with guests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flow from the email to the actual podcast recording was very smooth and easy to understand. I didn't face any hiccups nor I had to take the help of any tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much. I have nothing to share here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
