Our verdict on Citrus3

Citrus3 is hosted internet radio infrastructure for hobbyists, broadcasters, and radio stations. It combines live audio broadcasting with cloud AutoDJ, playlist creation, scheduled shows, listener statistics, geographic reporting, an HTML5 radio player, website widgets, embeds, and a free radio page. Its plans include unlimited live broadcasting, unlimited listeners, and unlimited bandwidth, while storage, audio quality, mobile apps, and recording vary by tier. The service supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with integrations for iTunes, Last.fm, Facebook, and Twitter.

Pricing is straightforward across four monthly plans. Starter costs $19 per month and includes 128 KBPS HD Audio Quality, 10 GB of AutoDJ disk space, Pro Scheduling Suite, unlimited live broadcasting, unlimited listeners, and unlimited DJs. Large costs $39 per month, raises audio quality to 256 KBPS Ultra HD, provides 20 GB of AutoDJ disk space, and adds free iOS and Android apps plus Geo Region Control. Pro costs $59 per month and keeps those additions while increasing AutoDJ storage to 75 GB. Enterprise costs $99 per month, adds 320 KBPS Crystal Audio Quality, 100 GB of storage, record-and-save live streams, priority support, and mobile apps.

The main choice is how much automation, storage, audio quality, and station distribution a broadcaster needs. Starter covers core broadcasting and scheduling, while Large and Pro add mobile station apps and more storage. Enterprise is the relevant tier for saved live-stream recordings and priority support. Citrus3 suits stations that want hosted infrastructure across multiple platforms without building their own streaming system. It is less suitable for broadcasters seeking a free plan or live-stream recording on an entry-level subscription.
