While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Captvate.fm hosts my podcast. But they're way more than a hosting platform. They want your podcast to succeed and their actions show it. I love the short links for social, CTA links for blogs, etc., and their podcast player looks really sweet on my website. Here's the best thing, Captivate now offers "Growth Labs" to all Captivators at no extra cost. I've barely scratched the surface of their instructional video catalogue, but it covers EVERYTHING you need to know to launch, grow, and monetize your podcast. To top it off, they're really nice people who are attentive to their customers, uh, podcast partners.

I have been with Captivate.fm for over 6 months. They have helped me promote and make my podcasts. The education available is more valuable than what you pay for it. Captivate has done more for my podcast than the last host by 1000%. You should be here with your podcasts.

For someone who is extremely new to making her own podcast, Captivate has been very helpful during my podcast journey!

I'm so happy to have chosen Captivate to host my "Almost Enlightened" podcast. Their service is ultra-reliable, the platform intuitive, and the staff genuinely care about my needs. They are so responsive whenever I have a question. I'm also thrilled with the education opportunities they provide. I wholeheartedly endorse this platform and consider them to be an outstanding partner to my "Almost Enlightened" podcast. If you're considering Captivate as your podcast host, it's an easy choice - they're awesome!!

Captivate.fm has been truly wonderful. It's very clearly built to help podcast makers, rather than a music app that's been repurposed. The layout is intuitive, and the support staff are really speedy to help if something needs attention! Additionally, Mark From Captivate (as we know him from our inboxes) has a plethora of really useful advice on building your podcast/podcast network as a viable business. We really appreciate his candor about telling people to avoid paid services that don't actually do much for you. It's nice to not feel like you're having products pitched at you constantly. We're very glad we chose Captivate! And we can't wait for dynamic insertion for ad placement!!

I have been using Captivate as a hosting platform for 6 months now, and it is SUPERB on every level in my experience. Great interface, great analytics, great resources, and what is most amazing in my view, the PERSONAL feedback and interaction. If I have a question, knowledgeable and friendly staff members respond promptly with helpful ideas. They are really committed to their customers' satisfaction and to helping them succeed! 5 Stars.

Easy to use and works very well
Publishing across different platforms works well and data on downloades gives good insight into how the podcast is doing and which episodes are popular

I really love Captivate and its tools, however I think that you guys should invest in resources to add advertising on podcasts hosted by Captivate and integration with Chartable or others players that offer attributions metrics. These services are very important to my business, not only as a production company but also as a podcast network. Best Riza

So far very impressed with this platform.

I've been using Captivate for about 7 months and have been pleasantly surprised by the constant stream of additions and refinements to the service. They make hosting, submitting and getting in-depth stats very easy so that you can tell exactly how your podcast/podcasts are going. I like that the price includes as many podcasts as want and that it is easy to set up new podcasts whenever you want.
On top of that, they also make it easy to look at how to monetize your podcasts with various sets of data and/or advertising options if that is what you wish to do.
The team at Captivate are very knowledgable and passionate about podcasting and all things podcast and constantly looking at how they can improve their service. Support is usually very good, although at times you may have to wait an hour or 2 to get replies. That said, you will get a reply.
I have no problem recommending this service.

I love Captivate. They have a personal touch and are always innovating

I love the simplicity in uploading new episodes! I also love the variety in distribution directories and would love to see more if there are any worldwide :) The only thing right now I would really like to see more of would be an improved breakdown of geographical analytics. I moved from Squarespace and they let you see the cities on a map since the IP data is collected.
Overall I am loving Captivate!

I was interested in launching a podcast show in 2020, but had no idea how to create one or how to make it successful. I was fortunate to read an article by Rebel Base Media and I chose Captivate to be my host. That was the best decision I could have made. Captivate has given me All the information I need to be a successful podcast creator and host from equipment, show details, marketing and much more. I am so grateful for the Captivate team and their attentive support and encouragement. Tim K
