On Recast, publishers (content creators and rights holders) are paid for every view and receive up to 85% of the revenue generated by their content. Rewarding creators. Reaching fans. Respecting both.

A fan is anyone who watches content on Recast. Setting up a fan account on Recast is free and easy to do. Fans will receive 25 free Cast Credits when they join. Cast Credits are Recast’s unique in-platform currency. Content is priced from just 1 Cast per minute (which is equal to 1p per minute). Casts can either be purchased or earned in-platform by watching ads, sharing videos or data, or by inviting friends to join.

A publisher is any umbrella entity, organisation, individual, agency or agent that owns a channel on Recast, and receives the revenue generated by that channel. A publisher does not need to host content on their channel, they can still earn via our split and share feature, if they have agreed a split with a publisher that is hosting content.
