Our take
Acast is a podcast hosting platform, monetised by its ad network. 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.
Acast is used by worldwide brands such as the Guardian, BBC, HuffPost, VICE, Vogue, and the Financial Times. It enables creators and advertisers to foster meaningful relationships with listeners, while giving anyone access to insightful, educational, and entertaining audio content.
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. Propping up its creator network, it acquired Backyard in 2026, giving it access to some of the largest names in podcasting. Solidifying its status, Acast has now built tools for listeners, creators and advertisers that enable monetisation and accelerated global reach.
