Review of Castr
The oddest thing about Castr is that the emails read like a college students writing to his best friend. Here's what they said last week about Facebook switching to secure streaming connections: ... "BUT, this does mean you’ll need a new way to stream to Facebook. What this means for you? Right now, very little :)We’ve added in RTMPS support for Facebook into Castr. So just keep doing what you’ve always done with Castr, and you shouldn’t have any trouble." ... In other words, it was "things are changing but don't worry, we changed too," email. Then, today, unhappily, this is from the email announcing a discontinuation of free services: ... "What will happen to my free account? Don’t worry, you won’t be left high and dry. We got your back. You’re being grandfathered in. Starting tomorrow, we’ll be transferring you to a free 7 day trial account. You can keep using Castr exactly as you always have for the next 7 days. At the end of the trial your streams will be disabled." ... So, Castr's idea of "we got your back" (sic) is they'll give 7 days for you to decide what to do, before disabling your streams. Disappointing. EDIT: This is my first review I've posted, and ProductHunt seems to be strripping line breaks from the "tell us more" section. Apologies.

Review of Castr
Product reliability/stability should be addressed. Castr agent and Govinda Sunil (who was contacted) should take ownership of the failures and provide fair resolution to customers.
3 consecutive weeks of failure. Other churches experienced the same issues at the same time. Castr deny any product issues.
Single stream connection fine.
Result: Charity no longer able to use the Castr product and following escalation, Castr refused a pro rata refund and we therefore have 11 months of remaining subscription costs for a product which will be completely unused.

Review of Castr
Bait and switch pricing. Don't hide pricing details from your customers. Pertinent pricing information should be next to an item, or at least on the same page, don't bury it in the fine print. Dropped Restream because they dropped their player, can't schedule a stream of an uploaded clip. Switched to Castr because all of their marketing materials make it sound like you can do that, you can with one clip but you won't find that limit in any up front communication. You can't even schedule a 2nd one to play at a different time.

Review of Castr Live Streaming
Used this product for almost a year now, it has never failed me. Restreaming to multiple sites is easy and painless and the interface is easy to use. I recommend this product to everyone that wants to stream because I've never seen a service with better pricing and bang for the buck or even a better free service. The free service is the best on the internet, never seen a better option.
