Castmagic review
A broad podcast repurposing platform with transcription, search, exports, and AI content tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Castmagic is a web-based AI platform for podcasters, creators, marketers, agencies, and content teams. It imports or uploads audio and video, creates speaker-labelled transcripts with timestamps, and supports editing, playback, collaboration, and multiple export formats. Its broader purpose is turning recordings into reusable content, including show notes, summaries, blogs, newsletters, social posts, captioned clips, and audiograms. Web, iOS, and API access support different production workflows.
Its strongest fit is for teams that want more than a transcript. Search spans transcripts, recordings, and generated content, while custom prompts and Magic Chat support repeatable content workflows. Imports and integrations include RSS, Zoom, Google Drive, Zapier, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. The API includes webhooks and transcript translation, although API access starts with Starter. These features make Castmagic particularly suitable for creators and media teams repurposing interviews, episodes, and recordings across multiple channels.
The published annual-billing equivalent monthly prices show Hobby at $19 per month, Starter at $48, and Team at $139. Hobby includes transcription, 60+ supported languages, editing and collaboration, AI content generation, studio media clipping, and a media library. Starter adds API access and team collaboration; Team adds priority support, unlimited team size, and 1 TB storage. Business & Scale adds custom transcription volume, more seats and storage, custom implementations, volume discounts, an SLA, and dedicated support. Choose Castmagic if transcript-driven content production is central to your workflow; teams seeking a free plan or a simpler transcription-only tool may prefer an alternative.
