Captivate

Captivate is podcast hosting for creators who want the publishing stack and growth work in the same account. Independent podcasters, YouTubers adding audio, production agencies, podcast networks, small businesses, and internal communications teams use it to host unlimited shows, publish feeds, review analytics, build podcast websites, manage private feeds, and distribute episodes. The product is especially relevant for podcasters who care about audience growth, workflow time, and monetization rather than only file storage.

A creator can import a show, publish new episodes, use the Captivate player on a website, review analytics, and add marketing assets around the episode launch. A network or agency can run multiple shows under one account, give clients controlled access, and manage members-only or private podcast feeds. Captivate also points toward future recording, editing, dynamic content, advertising, and feed-drop features, which makes it a better fit for publishers serving growing podcasters than for readers who only need a free RSS host.

Captivate runs a public affiliate signup page where partners create an account and promote Captivate's podcast hosting, analytics, marketing, private podcasting, and monetization features to an audience of podcasters or podcast-adjacent creators. The signup page is Tapfiliate-powered, with the application form and Google signup handled through Tapfiliate.

The official affiliate page lists a 25% recurring payout for the lifetime of every referred podcaster. Monthly Captivate subscribers generate monthly partner earnings, while annual subscribers are handled on their renewal anniversary. Captivate says affiliate payouts begin after the referred user's free trial is complete and one month in arrears to account for post-trial cancellations. PayPal is the named payout method, and payments are scheduled during the first ten days of each month. No cookie duration or minimum payout is published on the accessible page.
