Our verdict
Crowdcast suits a small business that wants to try a tool before paying, and the free trial runs for 14. Paid plans start at $49 while the accounting-software median sits at €16.66, so entry price is the trade-off to weigh.

Frequently asked questions
What does Crowdcast cost to start?+
Paid plans start at $49, the entry figure. That plan covers 1 user. There is no free plan, so permanent no-payment use is not an option here, and the 14 free trial is the only free window before the first payment.
Is there a free trial, and how long does it last?+
Yes. The free trial runs for 14, which is the same as the site median at 14. On trial length Crowdcast ranks 92 of 166 brands in the comparison, so the window is typical rather than generous. Paid plans start at $49 once it ends.
Does Crowdcast have a free plan?+
No, Crowdcast has no free plan. The route in is a 14 free trial, and paid tiers begin at $49 once that window closes. A permanent no-cost tier is not part of the offer, so a buyer testing on a budget needs a plan budgeted for from the start.
Who is Crowdcast built for?+
Crowdcast is listed for the small business segment, the group most represented across the comparison at 94.5%. Its plan structure, with 1 user on the entry tier, suits a small team rather than a large operation. Larger companies are less common in the same set at 48.8%.
What support does Crowdcast offer?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre. A help centre is the most common channel on the comparison at 84.5%, and chat is less usual there at 47.4%. Phone support appears at 56% across brands but is not one of the channels Crowdcast lists.
Which platforms does Crowdcast run on?+
Crowdcast lists ios as its platform, so a mobile app covers the on-the-go part of the product. Desktop use is not listed among the platforms. The company behind it is Crowdcast, Inc., based in the US, with support handled through email, chat and help centre.
How many users does the entry plan cover?+
The entry plan covers 1 user at $49. Buyers needing more seats move to a higher tier on the pricing, where the per-user median across the comparison is €21.75. Seat count is the first limit to check before signing up.
