Looking for a Listen2MyRadio alternative?
Caster.fm is Icecast-powered internet radio hosting, online since 2010. We offer three clear tiers — a permanent free plan (400 listener slots, no credit card, no countdown), Cloud Plus at $34/mo, and Pro from $80/mo — all on enterprise-grade infrastructure we don’t oversell. Here’s how we compare to Listen2MyRadio.
Why broadcasters choose Caster.fm
- A modern stack: HTML5 player and HTTPS on every tier. Listen2MyRadio’s free player still relies on Flash and Windows Media Player, which modern browsers block. Your listeners tune in on any device with Caster.fm.
- A full radio website CMS on every tier. News, shows, schedule, and staff pages — not a dated personal page. Included on free and paid plans alike.
- A permanent free tier. 400 listener slots at $0, no card, no countdown. Start on our free plan.
- A clear upgrade path. Cloud Plus at $34/mo and Pro from $80/mo, each on a modern control panel.
- Icecast 2.5 + no-oversell infrastructure, online since 2010. Enterprise-grade hardware and a direct Icecast upstream relationship.
