Where we win

Sub-second WebRTC playback, AI programming (voices, news, weather, idents), recordings to your own S3/R2 bucket, an installable listener app at no extra cost, and monetisation that pays hosts back.

Where they win

Radio.co and RadioKing push listings to TuneIn and similar directories automatically; we give you a submission kit and tracker instead. Live365 bundles US performance licences — we stay tools-only and leave licensing to you.

Who should pick us

Hosts who want a modern, low-latency station with automation and revenue built in — and who'd rather start free than pay $39/month to find out if radio is for them.
