What Castee is
Castee turns a podcast RSS feed into a customizable website with episode pages, analytics and search-focused tools. Its section-based editor lets users add, reorder, hide and style podcast sections, while templates handle responsive layouts. Sites publish as static HTML through a global CDN, and releases are retained for rollback. RSS import and sync are included on every plan, though imports are limited to episodes exposed by the current public feed. Castee creates metadata, Podcast JSON-LD, sitemaps and internal links. Listening links can point to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube; newsletter, membership and merch links are described as coming soon. Publishing requires ownership verification, usually through the owner email in RSS metadata, with manual review available. The Free plan includes a core contact form, but the submissions inbox is paid. Guest and host content management is on paid plans, and blog publishing is limited to Creator and Studio. Free is presented for hobby podcasts, Creator for independent podcasters, and Studio for agencies and networks. Free includes one site and podcast; paid plans start at $15/mo (annual).

Getting started
- Open the Castee website.
- Choose the Free, Creator, or Studio plan.
- Import a podcast RSS feed and sync its public episodes.
- Verify podcast ownership to publish.
- Build pages with sections and templates, then publish the site.
Castee turns a podcast’s public RSS feed into a customizable website, with episode pages, analytics and SEO tools. It suits podcasters who want a dedicated site without building one page by page. Its free tier is generous on publishing capacity, while paid plans unlock important workflow and branding features.
Overview
Castee builds podcast-focused sites from RSS feeds, importing and syncing episodes exposed by the current public feed. A section-based editor lets users add, reorder, hide and style sections, while templates handle responsive layouts. Sites publish as static HTML through a global CDN, and releases are retained for rollback.
Publishing requires ownership verification, usually through the owner email in RSS metadata; a manual review path is also available. That check is a sensible safeguard, though it adds a step before launch.
Key features
Site creation and publishing
Templates and section controls give podcasters room to shape a site around their show without requiring them to assemble a layout from scratch. Static publishing and rollback releases support a straightforward publishing model, although the core product is focused on podcast sites rather than a general-purpose website builder.
RSS, SEO and listening links
RSS import and sync are included on every plan, and Castee generates metadata, Podcast JSON-LD, sitemaps and internal links. The feed-based approach reduces routine episode upkeep, but it also means imports are limited to episodes the public feed exposes.
Listening destinations include Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. Newsletter, membership and merch links are described as coming soon, so they should not be a deciding factor for anyone who needs those integrations now.
Contact and content tools
The core contact form is available on Free, but reviewing submissions in the dashboard requires a paid plan. Guest and host content management is also paid-only, and blog publishing requires Creator or Studio. These limits make Free less suitable for shows that rely on an inbox, contributor profiles or a broader editorial site.
Pricing
Castee has a free plan and paid plans from $15/mo billed annually. The Creator and Studio figures are also shown as monthly billing amounts, with annual billing alternatives:
- Free: free. One website and one podcast, unlimited episodes and pages, unlimited traffic and bandwidth, a yourshow.cst.fm subdomain, RSS sync and episode import, basic analytics and SEO. This is a capable starting point for a hobby podcast, but it lacks custom domains, the submissions inbox, guest and host management, and blog publishing.
- Creator: $1,915 a month billed monthly, or $15/mo billed annually ($180 billed annually). It allows three websites and three podcasts, custom domains with free SSL, badge removal, custom pages and navigation, advanced analytics, migration URL redirects and email support. Blog publishing is included. This is the practical fit for independent podcasters who need a branded site or manage several shows.
- Studio: $7,959 a month billed monthly, or $59/mo billed annually ($708 billed annually). It adds unlimited websites and podcasts, network sites for multiple podcasts, and team management and roles. Those managing agencies or podcast networks are the clearest fit; a single show is unlikely to need the expanded capacity.
The plans do not all publish the same management features, so Free’s unlimited episode and page capacity should not be mistaken for full access to the editorial workflow. Creator’s three-site and three-podcast caps also matter for anyone managing a larger catalog.
Platforms
Castee is available on the web. Its sites support custom domains on Creator and Studio, while Free uses a Castee subdomain.
Who it's for
Choose Castee if you want a podcast site generated and kept current from an RSS feed, with SEO foundations and episode pages in one service. Free is appropriate for hobby shows that can work within a Castee subdomain and do not need the paid inbox or blog. Creator fits independent podcasters seeking custom domains, stronger analytics and publishing tools; Studio is aimed at agencies and networks coordinating many shows and team members.
Look elsewhere if you need subscriber tools or paid subscriptions: Castee does not offer them. It is also a narrower fit for publishers who need newsletter, membership or merch links immediately.
Pros and cons
- Pro: Every plan includes RSS sync, SEO features and unlimited traffic and bandwidth on Free, making it possible to launch a substantial hobby-show site without paying for hosting capacity.
- Pro: Creator adds custom domains, SSL, redirects and advanced analytics, useful for a show establishing its own brand or moving an existing site.
- Con: Free reserves the dashboard submissions inbox and guest and host management for paid users, limiting how much audience and contributor workflow can happen in the free tier.
- Con: Blog publishing starts at Creator, and the feed import cannot include episodes beyond those exposed by the public RSS feed.
- Con: Newsletter, membership and merch links are not current integrations, and subscriber and paid-subscription tools are absent.

Verdict
Castee is a good fit for podcasters who want an RSS-driven website with built-in SEO and a clear route from a hobby site to a branded, multi-show operation. Its free plan gives ample publishing capacity, but the paid inbox, contributor management and blog publishing make the lower tier less complete than its unlimited episode and page counts suggest. Choose it for a podcast site first; look elsewhere if subscriber tools or paid subscriptions are central to your needs.
Verdict
Castee combines RSS-based site creation with editing, analytics and SEO tools. Check plan limits for features such as the submissions inbox, guest and host management, and blog publishing.
