It is pretty bare bones, and helpful for my use-case. > > **Cons**: They've been removing features, such as the combined multi-casting chat. It's pretty basic, and lacks the kind of external customizability I'd prefer. > > Largely it's been neutral. I generally still find it functional for multicasting and customer service has answered all my questions clearly. ----- ### "A great streaming and distribution platform, with a great team behind it" — 5.0/5 > **Andreas** | *January 10, 2026* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Numerous features, reliable 24/7 secure operation, quick and effective support whenever an issue arises. > > **Cons**: Some abilities of the platform do not work straightforward but require a workaround and because that workaround is not clear it requires constant alert when you add new team members. > > Great platform, offering reliable 24/7 operation which has been necessary for our broadcast distribution requirements across the globe. The team behind Castr is very responsive, offering quick support and solutions whenever there is a need. Numerous features in operation, while new ones are being added makes this platform a necessary addition in every broadcast and streaming operation. ----- ### "It's affordable and it works." — 5.0/5 > **Taylor** | *May 9, 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Castr is affordable, and it does what it's supposed to do well and without problems. After a year of weekly use, I haven't had a single problem with Castr. I wish I could say the same for the other tools I use. > > **Cons**: The only thing I would change is that it would be helpful if Castr could set the stream title and metadata to update the date automatically. I have to log in each week type the new date, which isn't hard. But if this could be automated, it would be completely "set it and forget it," one less detail to have to remember. > > Our church uses Castr in conjunction with ProPresenter in order to livestream our weekly services to multiple platforms. It's an affordable solution that works reliably every week without fail. ----- ### "Subscription Fees ended it all" — 3.0/5 > **Emilio The SARGE** | *August 25, 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was very easy to work with and the customer service was the best. From Pay Per View to regular live streaming > > **Cons**: The price I was paying was very affordable until the starter package went away and the price went up. > > I would’ve given Castr 5 stars. But the price change is what ended my subscription. For that reason I am now using Restream ----- ### "Best option out there" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *March 11, 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service. Apart from a faultless service, the staff are always eager to answer any questions and help in anyway they can. Fast response times and an understanding attitude. > > **Cons**: The billing and data allowance information and email alerts are very unclear. I don't know if that is intentional or not but it's the feeling that I get. > > In terms of service and what they provide caster is an all-in-one solution that covers everything I could possibly need their pricing is a little up there but what they offer certainly makes up for it. It's the best option out there for your live streaming needs I couldn't think of going to another platform. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/187026/castr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/187026/castr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
