Go-Cast Enterprise

A Dacast alternative for ministries that want their own TV apps

Dacast is a capable platform built for a particular job. If what your ministry wants is its own television apps, under its own name, here is how the two differ — and when Dacast is the better choice.

In short: Dacast is a video hosting and live-streaming platform whose plans are organised around bandwidth and storage. Go-Cast Enterprise is built for a different job: a ministry's own radio and television presence, with live video and an on-demand archive delivered to apps on Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung and LG televisions, published under the ministry's own name and priced by quotation. If your main need is hosting video on your own website through a player and API, look hard at Dacast; if you want your own channel on the television, look at Go-Cast Enterprise.

What Dacast is built for

Dacast sells video hosting and live streaming to organisations that want a player on their own website and an API to build with. Its plans are defined by how much bandwidth and storage you buy, which gives a technical team control and leaves the apps, the branding and the television to you.

What Go-Cast Enterprise adds for a ministry

Your own television apps on six TV platforms, plus phone, web and desktop, all under your ministry's name rather than a platform's.
Radio and television in one app: members switch between your station and your channel without leaving it.
Your own isolated deployment, database and domain, so the audience relationship stays with you.
An optional partner platform: financial partners choose a monthly tier and pay by card, transfer or USSD, and media partners earn points for sharing your content.
Set-up handled end to end: branding on every app, store submission and review, and a verified first broadcast before you announce anything.

When Dacast is the better choice

You have developers who want a video player and API to build into your own website or app.
You want to buy bandwidth by the terabyte and manage delivery yourself.
You only need video on the web, not apps in the television app stores.

Choose the platform for the job you actually have, not for the longest feature list.
