Origins

One complete tool, for podcasts that want to stay home.

Zekast exists because no WordPress tool offered podcast creation, hosting, distribution and monetization all at once, on your own site, as close to your listeners as possible.

Until now, it was a trade-off.

Go with a hosting platform

Acast, Ausha, Audiomeans, Anchor. They decide for you: your player’s design, the editorial rules, the share of monetization you get to keep.

Patch together three plugins

One to import the feed, one to display it, one for analytics. None for serious monetization. Several services to pay for, several dashboards, several accounts.

No tool covered the whole chain (creation, hosting, layouts, distribution, transcription, monetization) in a single plugin, on your site.

Everything happens in WordPress.

Your episodes, listeners, analytics and paid subscriptions live in the admin you already open every day. One dashboard, one bill.

The Zekast dashboard in the WordPress admin: listens, unique listeners and a chart of listens per day.

Three profiles, one tool.

One podcast, one site, one audience.

You want a real editorial website around your podcast, not an account on a platform. The Starter plan (€12/month) covers it all: managed hosting, transcription, distribution and premium subscriptions.

Up to 3 podcasts.

You publish several shows under one brand. The Pro plan (€39/month) gives you 3 independent podcasts on a single site, with premium subscriptions.

Unlimited podcasts.

You manage several brands or several clients. The Studio plan (€89/month) covers unlimited podcasts on up to 5 sites.

What you can count on.

Your episodes carry your voice

What people hear in an episode is what you put in it. Our revenue comes from your plugin subscription, and from that alone.

Your revenue stays your revenue

You pay a fixed subscription for the plugin. It stays the same whether you have ten premium subscribers or ten thousand.

The money goes straight to you

Your listeners pay into your own Stripe account. The full amount is already there, available whenever you want. Stripe takes its usual fees, and that’s it.

Your data stays yours

Your subscribers' email addresses live in your database, on your site. They belong to you, like the rest of your content.
