Users gain access to a variety of tools, including sharing tools and advanced analytics, and earn money via the adverts provided by the Acast service. Acast publish podcasts to all podcast apps such as Amazon, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Its acquisition of Podchaser - one of the most comprehensive podcast databases in the world - in 2022 meant that Acast could begin to build a structured metadata portfolio for the market.
