About Acast

Acast is a podcast platform for hosting, distributing and earning money from shows. Creators use its content management system to publish episodes, distribute them to services such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music, and track audience and revenue in a dashboard.

Monetization is the central theme: Acast connects podcasters with advertisers, lets them control ad placements and partners, and offers Acast+ subscriptions for listener-paid content. The company also runs an advertising side for brands, and the site lists regional versions for several countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany.

Acast is a commercial hosted service for independent creators and networks. A pricing page is linked, but plan details are not included in the supplied facts, so costs and limits should be confirmed with the vendor.
