RadioCult vs Airtime Pro:Running a station beyond AutoDJ
Compare how each platform handles the workflows that shape your station, from broadcasting and scheduling to team collaboration and listener experience.
Unlimited listeners across all plans- Tools built for multi-presenter stations
- Clear pricing that scales with your station
Designed for stations managing multiple presenters and ongoing programming
Many stations start with Airtime Pro because it offers a simple way to launch an online radio station. Airtime Pro focuses on helping stations get on air fast, with automation, AutoDJ, and calendar-based scheduling that can run your station continuously.
As stations grow, programming becomes more structured, more presenters get involved, and day-to-day coordination becomes more important.
RadioCult is designed for stations that run continuously, manage multiple presenters, and need a setup that stays organized as things scale. Instead of relying on automation alone, everything is structured in one place, from scheduling and streaming to collaboration and reporting.
Why stations move fromAirtime Pro to RadioCult

Working with a platform that feels outdated compared to modern tools
Relying on older workflows that haven't kept up with how stations operate today
Managing programming in a system that becomes harder to navigate over time
Balancing powerful automation with a more complex, less intuitive setup
Outgrowing a platform that hasn't evolved alongside your station

FAQs
Can I migrate my existing content from Airtime Pro to RadioCult?
Yes. RadioCult offers migration support to help you transfer your existing content from Airtime Pro. The process typically involves uploading your media files, recreating your schedule, and updating your stream configuration. The support team can guide you through each step to keep disruption to your broadcasting schedule to a minimum.
Do I need technical experience to run a station on RadioCult?
No technical background is required. Most stations set up their stream, upload content, and schedule shows on their first day using the interface and onboarding guidance. The platform is browser-based with no software to install. If questions come up during setup or daily use, support is available across all plans.
Can I migrate my existing station from another platform?
Yes. Many stations move from self-hosted tools or other hosting providers. Migration usually involves transferring media files, recreating the schedule, and updating stream links on websites or apps. The support team can help you plan each step so the transition feels manageable.
How long does it take to get a station running?
Some stations begin broadcasting the same day they create an account, while others take more time to prepare content and schedules. The onboarding process is designed to help you move at a pace that fits your team.
Are there limits on how many listeners I can have?
There are no caps on concurrent listeners across any RadioCult plan. The platform is built to support stations as audiences grow — whether that is a gradual increase or a spike during a live event. Listener capacity does not change based on your plan tier. You can review full plan details on the pricing page.
Can I schedule both live and pre-recorded shows?
Yes. You can combine live broadcasts, pre-recorded shows, and playlist automation within the same schedule. Live slots hand off to automation when no presenter is broadcasting, so the stream stays active around the clock. Repeating rules let you set up recurring shows without rebuilding the schedule each week.
