Radio.co pricing explained
Radio.co publishes its plans on radio.co/pricing, billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial listed on all plans. Each plan combines three limits: storage for your music library, a concurrent listener limit, and a monthly allowance of total listening hours.
Lite, the lowest-priced plan, is listed at $35/mo with 2 GB of storage, 500 concurrent listeners, 18,000 listening hours, and 192 kbps streams. Standard is listed at $59/mo with 20 GB of storage, 20,000 concurrent listeners, 360,000 listening hours, and 192 kbps. The Plus plan also streams at 192 kbps, and 320 kbps (Studio) quality is reserved for the Premium plan at $199/mo.
Because Radio.co plans include both a listener limit and a listening hours allowance, check both against your audience. A station with a steady daily audience can reach its listening hours allowance well before it ever hits the concurrent listener limit.
Radio.co vs Radiocast: which costs less for your station?
Radiocast plans are priced lower and focus on storage. Professional ($5.99/mo): 10 GB storage, up to 100 concurrent listeners, 192 kbps. Small Business ($8.99/mo): 50 GB storage, up to 200 concurrent listeners, 192 kbps. Radiocast does not meter listening hours; each plan has a concurrent listener cap instead.
On price per gigabyte of music, Radiocast is well ahead: 10 GB for $5.99/mo against 2 GB for $35/mo on Lite, and 50 GB for $8.99/mo against 20 GB for $59/mo on Standard. On audience size, Radio.co is ahead: its published listener limits are far higher than Radiocast’s lower plans.
So the honest answer depends on your peak audience. If your station stays within 200 concurrent listeners, Radiocast usually costs much less than Radio.co and gives you more room for your library, with AutoDJ radio hosting on every paid plan. If you regularly draw thousands of simultaneous listeners, or want 320 kbps on a published self-serve plan, Radio.co’s higher tiers are built for that.
