EasyCast Studio vs Zencastr

TL;DR — which one fits you

You only need to record a local solo track and publish manually elsewhere - a lightweight desktop recorder may be enough.

How to move from Zencastr to EasyCast

Because Zencastr also supports hosting, treat this as a feed migration plus a workflow decision. You can move only hosting, only production, or the whole process.

1. 01

   Audit what you use in Zencastr

   If you rely on 10-person panels, 4K video, dynamic ad insertion, social auto-posting, or monetization tools, keep Zencastr for those workflows. If you mainly need recording, cleanup, notes, clips, and RSS, EasyCast is a cleaner switch.

2. 02

   Export your feed and back catalog

   Download your episode media and metadata, then capture the current RSS feed URL. Keep GUIDs stable when importing so podcast apps do not treat old episodes as new.

3. 03

   Import episodes into EasyCast

   Upload the back catalog, recreate show settings, and let EasyCast regenerate transcripts, notes, and Podcast 2.0 feed metadata where needed.

4. 04

   Redirect the old feed

   Use the old host redirect tools to point subscribers to the EasyCast feed. Then verify Apple Podcasts and Spotify see the new feed before canceling the old account.

5. 05

   Move recording last

   Run one new episode through EasyCast before moving the whole show. If your guests and editor like the workflow, make it the default recording and publishing tool.

Frequently asked

Is EasyCast better than Zencastr?

Not universally. Zencastr is stronger for larger remote sessions, 4K video-led production, direct social publishing, dynamic content insertion, and monetization workflows. EasyCast is a better fit when you want a simpler podcast-first studio that records, cleans up, creates publishing assets, and hosts the RSS feed.

Does Zencastr include podcast hosting?

Yes. Zencastr lists audio and video hosting, an embeddable player, analytics, and RSS-related features. EasyCast should be compared against Zencastr as an all-in-one podcast platform, not as a recorder-only tool.

Can I use Zencastr for recording and EasyCast for publishing?

Yes. Export the finished audio from Zencastr and upload it into EasyCast. EasyCast can then transcribe, generate publishing assets, and host the feed. That hybrid path makes sense if Zencastr is still your preferred recorder.

Which is cheaper?

It depends on the workflow. Zencastr has a strong free plan and paid plans that start at $24 per month on yearly billing. EasyCast Starter is $9.99 per month and is focused around podcast recording, AI publishing assets, and hosting. Compare the actual features you need, not just the sticker price.

Which one should a beginner pick?

If you want the broadest free recording and hosting limits, start with Zencastr. If you want guided podcast publishing with SEO tools, AI show notes, clips, transcripts, and a Podcast 2.0 feed in one place, start with EasyCast.
