Radiojar's €20/month Broadcaster plan is a single login, and its Shows feature, where you invite presenters and plan episodes, starts on the €50/month Professional plan. RadioCult's $33/month Starter plan includes 3 logins, and you can assign presenters to shows on every plan.
Designed for stations managing multiple presenters and ongoing programming
Many stations start with Radiojar because it is affordable and covers the essentials: automation, live broadcasting, and unlimited listeners on every plan.
As stations grow, programming becomes more structured, more presenters get involved, and day-to-day coordination becomes more important. On Radiojar, the €20/month Broadcaster plan is a single login, and inviting presenters or creating shows means moving to the €50/month Professional plan.
RadioCult is designed for stations that run continuously, manage multiple presenters, and need a setup that stays organized as things scale. Live shows, pre-records, and playlists sit in one schedule, each show is assigned to its presenters, and support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on every plan.
Why stations move fromRadiojar to RadioCult
Common friction points teams run into before making the switch.
Working with a platform that feels outdated compared to modern tools
Upgrading plans just to invite presenters and create shows
Wrapping a single pre-record in a playlist, or a show and episode, before it can air
Committing to a paid plan without being able to try it first
Support on working days only, unless you pay for the €100/month Network plan

Why stations choose RadioCult
“Working with RadioCult for the past couple of months has significantly improved our workflow. The easy-to-navigate interface, the storage capacity and the ability to schedule weeks or even months in advance are a fraction of the things that made our work a lot easier.”

FAQs
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 using the interface and onboarding guidance. Support is available if questions come up during setup or daily use.
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.
See how a Shoutcast migration worksHow 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. RadioCult is built to support stations as audiences grow, including during spikes. You can review full plan details on the pricing page.
Can I schedule both live and pre-recorded shows?
You can combine live broadcasts, playlists, and pre-recorded content within the same schedule. Repeating rules and timed playback help stations keep the stream active even when no one is live.
Does Radiojar have a free trial?
No. Radiojar takes card details at sign-up and charges as soon as your station is set up. It offers 30 days money back if you cancel and have not used the service, which is not the same as trying it. RadioCult offers a 7-day free trial on every plan, and you won't be charged if you cancel before it ends.
How much does Radiojar cost?
Radiojar starts at €10/month for Simulcast, which has no automation. Broadcaster is €20/month for 1 user, Professional is €50/month for 20 users, and Network is €100/month for 50 users, with two months free on yearly billing. Priority support is only on Network, and other plans get standard support on working days. RadioCult starts at $33/month with 3 users, and support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on every plan.
Can I schedule a pre-record on Radiojar?
Yes. Radiojar's schedule slots take playlists, pilots, relays, and shows, so a one-off pre-record either goes into a playlist first or, on the Professional plan and above, is uploaded to a show episode. On RadioCult you upload the pre-record and add it to the schedule directly on every plan.
